Help - Runtime error on judge.wizards.com trying to enter candidate answers for L1 test!

I received the following error when I clicked the link to “Enter Candidate Answers”:

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a “web.config” configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its “mode” attribute set to “Off”.



<!– Web.Config Configuration File –>

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode=“Off”/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the “defaultRedirect” attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.



<!– Web.Config Configuration File –>

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode=“RemoteOnly” defaultRedirect=“mycustompage.htm”/>
</system.web>
</configuration>


Using Internet Explorer. Halp?

Huh, DCIX spits out lots of error messages but that's a new one to me. Check to see if the answers were uploaded correctly anyway… sometimes DCIX generates an error message trying to “repond” but did receive the upload (e.g. review content).

If not, try a second time (unless you already did)… and maybe try using another browser like Chrome or Opera, and let us know the outcome.

This is a generic Microsoft .NET error page that is sent to the web client whenever a server-side runtime exception remains uncaught all the way to the top of the call stack. The authors of DCIX have (wisely) configured the server to not actually disclose any details about the uncaught exception, but have (unwisely) not specified a more user-friendly “technical difficulties, please stand by” page to be displayed in these cases.
