When I browse to my server, program not installed on local host machine, I get the following error as shown below. According to the message, as I understand it, I am supposed to type one or both of the yellow boxes of code into the web.config file. Where it says to create a "custom errors" tag within a "web.config" file. Is this the release.config file that I had to rename to web.config, and whereabouts in the 300 plus lines of code should I insert it, top?, middle? bottom?, in a certain area headiing? I am not a programmer/coder obviously, but I am an end user who likes the functionality and concept of DNN3. Thanks for the help. I am stuck till I hear from somebody.

Server Error in '/DotNetNuke' 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>
