I have the same error when i install dotnetnuke on localhost. You should restart IIS when you change the web.config file.

FYI...  Changing the Web.Config does not require a restart to IIS.  Updating the web.config has the side effect of clearing the application of its cache...  Essentially, emulating a restart of IIS, but only for that application.
