Set customErrors mode to Off in the web config file. There is another error that is happening but is being hidden for security purposes.

I did not see the customErrors param in the code, this is the web.config file:

Change it to the following (you have to add it):

thx added the code, now what is the next step? I've tried open the page again but still same error as in first post

Exactly the same? With custom errors on you would see a basic message telling you that the details are hidden because custom errors is off etc.
With custom errors off you should see a lot more information, specifically in red at the top of the page a detailed error message.
Is the site currently running on your local machine or is it posted on a server at this point?
Maybe you could post up the full content of the error page.

well finally the server admin told me that the IIS server got corrupted, thus the cause for the error to be shown, and moved the site to another machine for hosting, which solved the problem
