Server Error In Application

[AndyApp]

Ok so I know this has been posted a few times under different guises but none of the solutions have actually solved it for me.

When I try to run a really basic aspx page on my server I get the following error:

Server Error in 'NameOfApp' Application.

Then it gives the whole thing about creating a web.config file and setting custom errors to off.

I have created the file, put in the root directory (in fact I've placed it in nearly every directory on the damn server!) and still no joy.

Also if I try to setup a new project in .NET I get;
"The default web access mode for this project is set to frontpage, but the project folder at 'address' cannot be opened with FrontPage. The error returned was:
Unable to create web project 'NameOfApp'. The web server does not appear to have FrontPage extensions installed. If the FrontPage extensions are installed, this error may occur because the _vti_bin virtual directory is not marked executable. To correct this problem, run the internet Services Manager, select the web server having the problem and use the Check Server Extensions Task."

The server is Windows 2000 and I'm informed by IT Support that FrontPage Extensions were installed as part of Win2000. I have gone in through ISM and set the _vti_bin directory to have write access but none of these things have made any difference.

Anyone any ideas?

OK

I can now create stuff in .NET (got IT Support to run the check server extensions thing and _vti_bin wasn't executable) but I still can't view anything.

I created a new project, copied my code into the file that .NET automatically creates and ran it and I got the same Server Error.
