 * Hi,
 * I have received the following Runtime Error while trying to install “Really Simple
   SSL” Plugin. I could not log in or open the site. Is it possible to fix it? Please
   advice.
 * 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
   >`
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fruntime-error-with-really-simple-ssl%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@padmakumar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/padmakumar/),
 * does this also also occur when you visit the site over https:// when Really Simple
   SSL is disabled? It sounds like a misconfiguration on your webserver when the
   site is visited over [https://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/runtime-error-with-really-simple-ssl/?output_format=md).
   I’d recommend to contact your host about this.
