Can't display runtime errors in sharepoint - sharepoint-2010

I have some difficulties to display runtime errors in SharePoint, even if my web.config looks fine :
I have set:
customErrors to Off
CallStack to true
<compilation batch="true" debug="true" optimizeCompilations="true">
Do you have any idea where the problem comes from ?
Thanks

Things changed a little between SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010. Greg discusses the steps that are required to get detailed error messages in the following post:

JSON.NET Production Issue

I have an ASPNET Core project that is running a set of RESTful services using C# and Newtonsoft.JSON 11.0.2 which I incorporated using NuGet. When I run everything locally using Visual Studio 2017 and IIS Express, things work fine and my JSON Deserializer efforts work with no issue.
When I publish the solution in a Web Deploy package and then install that application in IIS 10 on a Windows Server 2016 instance in AWS, the deserializer fails. The error is:
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonReaderException: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path '', line 0, position 0
It does not matter if I publish in Debug or Release mode.
I ran Postman calls and the JSON being returned is both validate and produces the correct objects. I did see that, in the Solution Explorer, the version is 11.0.2 but in the assets JSON file, the version is pointed to 10.0.1. The .CS project file, when viewed in a text editor outside of Visual Studio, does show 11.0.2.
When I look in the deployed application's folder on the server, I do not see any NewtonSoft DLLs but I do see other NuGet-obtained DLLs. This might not be an issue given how JSON.NET deploys but I thought it was worth mentioning.
I then included a logger and sent the incoming JSON to a file and, again, it all validated as expected.
I have tried everything, ensured CORS is properly implemented both in the application and in IIS. I am at a complete loss as to how to proceed.
Can somebody please help?
Thank you!
I had the same problem and solved by this code in web.config
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<remove name="WebDAV" />
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
<remove name="OPTIONSVerbHandler" />
<remove name="TRACEVerbHandler" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
</handlers>
<modules>
<remove name="WebDAVModule" />
</modules>
</system.webServer>
I sometimes browse old question that has no/accepted answers and check if they are still in need of some help, or if something can be done to close the cold case.
This post has already been solved, but the cause and the solution were left only in the comments.
If the first character encountered when parsing is <, you can be sure
that is not JSON. Something is probably sending XML or HTML to your
code in the deployed environment. I would look at that angle. This
doesn't seem like a version conflict to me, otherwise you would be
getting a much different error about not being able to load the file
or assembly. I think this is solely a data problem.

#Brian Rogers - Thank you SO MUCH for this last comment. I ended up
opening Production to my development machine and then running
Wireshark to see the communications. Turns out that IIS had "GEWT"
instead of "GET" in the allowed methods web.config for the host
website and I was getting rejections in the cloud instead of the JSON.
Every test I ran which generated output was LocalHost but, of course,
none of the real production work used anything local. Once I fixed
that error, everything worked great!

#ken-tola, can you please self-answer the question and then accept it to close the case.

ASP.NET MVC / IIS / Elmah issue | Section or group name 'security' is already defined

All of a sudden I'm getting an error as follows in Visual Studio:
Error 113 Section or group name 'security' is already defined. Updates to this may only occur at the configuration level where it is defined. myProject\web.config
Here is the section that it is complaining about:-
<sectionGroup name="elmah">
<section name="security" requirePermission="true" type="Elmah.SecuritySectionHandler, Elmah" >
Needless to say the security section only occurs once.
It's like it's checking a cached version of the file somewhere or something.
I had a very similar issue here recently:
Elmah.MVC working under IIS Express but not IIS 7.5
However the solution there does not appear to be working here
OK it turns out this was related to setting MVCBuildViews to true...
Which seemed like a reasonable think to want to do but seems to cause these issues.
I'd be interested still to know a better solution that would allow me to continue to use this flag.

Visual Studio 2010, solution with a form and web service

I have a solution with a form and web service and want to debug the web service. I've tried set the .asmx page as the start page. I guess it's more of a Visual Studio 2010 question rather than a vb question.
just type in the complete webservice url in the browser. You will be able to provide the paramets value and run the webservice.
eg of a url: localhost:53788/HelloWorld.asmx.
You're problem could be that you haven't enabled debugging in your web.config file. Your config file needs to look like this.
<configuration>
...
<system.web>
<compilation
debug="true"
...
>
...
</compilation>
</system.web>
</configuration>
See here for more information. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e8z01xdh%28v=vs.100%29.aspx
My issue was that my application's settings were still pointing to the production web service. I changed them to point to the local service which fixed the issue.

Unable to automatically step into the server. The remote procedure could not be debugged

I am having a problem stepping into code which is a website hosted on IIS7.
Basically I have a test class which calls a WCF service like so
ISecurityService service = new SecurityServiceClient();
MembershipUser membershipUser = null;
membershipUser = service.GetMembershipUser("Mark"); // THIS LINE FAILS!!!
I get the following error but I have everything enabled as far as I know, i.e.
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
Here is the error msg, I would appreciated any feedback. If I don't try and step into the line above then all works ok.
Microsoft Visual Studio
Unable to automatically step into the server. The remote procedure could not be debugged. This usually indicates that debugging has not been enabled on the server. See help for more information.
dont forget to set compilation debug="true" in your wcf service web.config file.
are you using vista by any chance?
anyways, take a look at this post:
http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2006/12/28/Fix-problems-with-Visual-Studio-F5-debugging-of-ASP.NET-applications-on-IIS7-Vista.aspx
hope it helps
EDIT: have a look here as well
Return MembershipUser using WCF service
You can also try turning on anonymous authentication in IIS. That worked for me when I encountered this issue.
I've had the same error. The problem was that the WCF web service's site on IIS was stopped, because another process was occupying the same port!
To discover what process is, from the command prompt:
netstat -aon | find ":your_iis_web_services_port_number"
Hope this help you.
dont forget to set compilation debug="true" in your wcf service web.config file.
If your startup project different from the WCF Service that is in question and you have start wcf service host when debugging another project in the same solution checked, you will need to set compilation debug="true" in that projects App.config.

WCF RIA Silverlight deployment issues

It seems the world is awash with people having problems deploying RIA WCF services, and now I'm one too. I've already tried a bunch of things, but to no avail. I need WCF RIA to support a Silverlight 3 application I've built.
The short story is, using the new WCF RIA services (Nov 09?) I open VS 2008, create new project (silverlight application), enabling ".NET RIA services". Add new item to web project - Linq2SQL dbml file (from SQL 2005 DB prepared earlier) and compile. I add a new item to the web project - domain service (link the tables I need) and compiled. Using the domain context I "Load" data with a standard RIA get query in the MainPage and add a TextBlock to display returned data. Build & run (cassini) - success. Using VS to publish to IIS on local PC - success.
Using VS to publish to test server (IIS6) - browse to location and the Silverlight app loads but Fiddler tells me I've got a 404 on all the the WCF .svc requests. Use Fiddler to "launch IE" on the service request and it's true - 404.
I have already run aspnet_regiis, ServiceModelReg and added mime types for .xap, .xaml, .xbap and .svc. I have included the System.Web.Ria and System.Web.DomainServices DLL with copy local true.
I need help with either
a) a solution
b) an approach to find a solution
I had some troubles with this also, although once I figured them out it's relatively straight forward.
First, run through http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2009/12/10/tips-to-deploy-ria-services-troubleshoot.aspx (although it seems you have most of that covered off).
Check that you have your DomainServiceModule in the web.config in the new system.webServer bit and the old bit for IIS6:
<httpModules>
<add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add name="DomainServiceModule" type="System.Web.Ria.Services.DomainServiceHttpModule, System.Web.Ria, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</httpModules>
Finally, I had to create my services manually, by creating .svc files where SL is looking for them (from fiddler) and filling them in with:
<%# ServiceHost Service="NameOfSerice" Factory="System.Web.Ria.DomainServiceHostFactoryEx" %>
Make sure that you also visit the .svc file directly (without the /binary on the end) as you can get some nice errors there (well once you solve your 404 of course!)
HTH,
Jordan.
I fought this issue for a little while myself where it could not find the .svc file. I soon realized it wasn't just my .svc, it was all .svc files. It then appeared to be an IIS6 issue. It turns out that the ASP.NET v4.0x Web Service Extensions are set to "Prohibited" by default. Went into Web Service Extensions config and set ASP.NET v4.0x to "Allowed" and life was all good.
I ran into the same problem. Worked fine with the cassini server under Windows 7. Deployed to Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS7, and it would not work. Fiddler reported that an 'EndPointNotFoundException' was being thrown.
My solution, since I have full control of the server, was to install Visual Studio 2008 Express, Silverlight 3 SDK, and the WCF RIA Services Beta for VS2008. This meant that the necessary DLLs were already installed in the GAC. I don't think this affected the result, but I turned off 'Copy Local' for the RIA DLLs that were referenced by the Web app.
Probably an unorthodox solution, but it worked for me!!! Actually, I did this at the suggestion of Microsoft Support.
By the way, support for this through Microsoft is very sparse at this time. They are actually trying to figure out right now internally who is going to support this technology: WCF team or Silverlight team. I know it's still in beta, but be warned that a 'GoLive' license doesn't mean its fully supported. I had someone from the WCF team who went out of his way to help me on this, but gave me a disclaimer several times during the call, that it wasn't really supported through those channels yet.
If someone is interested, how to deploy a complete Silverlight solution to IIS with your own batch script, read my answer in this post:
Is there a Management Service (WMSVC) UI in IIS 7 on Windows 7?
I did this, because there was no way, the in-bulit webdeploy feature of VS 2010 was working. The batch script makes it possible, that you can run and debug on IIS.
I know, this is not the explicit answer to this question, but it is a very similar question.
I think you would only use FactoryEx if you extended the Factory as described here. Also, according to my help files, the full name is System.Web.Ria.Services.DomainServiceHostFactory, but the parser can't create that type either, although I have System.Web.Ria in the GAC.
I agree - deploying WCF RIA over https is a challenge - I have yet to get it to work.
