Safari Vs Runtime error

[ruzzian]

Hi everyone,

Here's a little problem thats had me baffled for a week or so now. I have a myspace account for advertising my design services but I havent been able to log into said account for said week. I can get onto the myspace homepage no problems but when I type in my login details and hit enter this error hits my page:

Server Error in '/' Application.

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>

I'm using safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3) but I can login to myspace on my works safari which is version 1.3.2. I can also login to it using firefox. So I'm just not sure whether its myspace being their usual idiot selfs or whether its something I need to sort somehow. Can anyone help??


Ta!

People in this thread have reported similar problems lately. Looks like it a problem on the Myspace side, but some people have reported that clearing their .myspace cookies helped.

Don't worry about it...the search engine here can be tricky. Most of the time it seems hard to get a relevant thread unless you've seen the thread before and you remember a couple of odd words in it. I added in the thread link because I wanted to make sure you had access to it just in case I overlooked something in my synopsis.

Just wanted to say thanks for the cookies tip. Was getting very frustrated by the same problem the past day or so. Could login with other browsers but not Safari. Deleting all of the MySpace cookies fixed the issue.

Yes! Thanks SO much! Very helpful indeed... was driving me crazy.

I too am getting the same problem as the initial poster had. I empty out my cache and reset safari. It JUST began doing this last night. I could finally sign into myspace after cleaning everything out, but upon searching for music, people, etc. it gives the same runtime error! I tried downloading Safari 3 as well.

Anyone know how to fix this? Should I take my mac to the geek squad? Or is there somewhere online to help? This only happens on myspace.

Thanks!

You folks emptied the cache, but did you delete the MySpace cookies? That's the solution, not emptying the cache.

Preferences -> Security -> Show Cookies

Scroll down and you'll find all the MySpace cookies grouped together. Delete 'em all. Problem solved (at least in my case).

It worked!

I found this site quite by accident as I tried to search out how to fix this exact problem!
I'm glad someone wrote HOW to find these 'cookies' ~~~Thankyou!

i don't get it

i don't see the show cookies thing...can someone help?

i don't see the show cookies thing...can someone help?

Go to Preferences under the Safari menu next to the apple at the top left corner of the screen. Click the 7th button over that says "Security." Then click the button about 2/3 of the way down the window that says "Show Cookies." See attached pic.

I am trying access my online classes at Kaplan University with my mac 10.8.5 and keep getting this error message i don't know how to fix it.

That's an error on the website you're trying to access, not anything you can control. Try again later or contact the person in charge of the site or course.
