Question ASP.net and web.config error
I tried to test run my first asp.net page and found the following error. I hope that anyone of you can help me out. Thanks in advance.

When try to run the ASP.net page, I always faced trouble of Configuration error, as follows:
Code:
Server Error in '/' Application. 
---------------------------------------- 

Configuration Error 
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration 
file required to service this request. Please review the specific error 
details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. 

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as 
allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This 
error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an 
application in IIS. 

Source Error: 


Line 35: "Passport" and "None" 
Line 36: --> 
Line 37: <authentication mode="None" /> 
Line 38: 
Line 39: <!-- APPLICATION-LEVEL TRACE LOGGING 


Source File: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cc\bookstore\csharp\web.config Line: 37 

----------------------------------------
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.0.3705.0; ASP.NET 
Version:1.0.3705.0


What is the possible error?

I tried to change the authentication mode form "None" to "Forms", it does not fixes the error.

Just for information. I did face this similar problem when I tried to test run certain asp.net script available at the ASP.NET QuickStart Tutorial come with the VS.net.

BUT, I can run the sample script of asp.net job site from the book ASP.NET UNLEASHED by Stephen Walther.

I really do not undertstand the reason. I read through and found out that possibility that it relates to machine.config file??? Is it?

Help needed. Thanks in advance.

Hey,
What operating system are you running .NET on? Windows 2000? Try removing the virtual dir and moving the script to your base web dir in IIS...it might fix the prob.

Send a message via ICQ to James Yang
my guess is that you are creating a directory in the wwwroot using explorer...


u should always use IIS to create virtual directory and make it a web "application".

its easy to fix open your IIS MMC and open the web site node, and you should see your directory. right click then properties and then you will see a command button labeled "create application". Click on that and click ok... now try


the cause of that error you are having is due to web.config file. You can't have it in a folder..it has to be a web application

hope this helps

I solved the problem, and it's right what James Yang said.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with the web.config and the machin.config files.

I faced the error because I use EditPlus to run the script. I suppose test the script with the url of http://localhost/bookstore/ BUT when I always test it using EditPlus, the test url is http://localhost/codecharge/bookstore (I place the bookstore folder/files like this c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\codecharge\bookstore) which is not the virtual directory setting. What a silly mistake I've made.

Hello,
I'm new at this. Where is the web.config supposed to be located? Directly within the "application" folder? Also, what if I have multiple copies of the "web.config" file within the applications in multiple directories?

Thanks so much
halewilson
