Hello,
I have managed to install and run DNN locally without any problems. I wanted to try it out Online, so i uploaded an out-of-the-zip fresh instance of DNN, with necessary web.config changes, to my server on Fasthosts. However I keep stumbling on to the same error everytime time:
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.

I have spent hours on the phone with Fasthosts trying to resolve this issue. Basically what they're saying is it's my code that's not being configured correctly. They have uploaded an aspx page into the same folder and it's running apparantly. But I personally think that this has nothing to do with an individual aspx file, but is due to their IIS not configuring my dotnetnuke as an application. Or maybe even, it's a permissions problem and the server wouldn't let web.config file to be overwritten. That is what I wanted to ask you lot. Fasthosts have told me that they do not give support for DotNetNuke related queries so I'm kind of in a corner.
Changing hosts is the last thing I want to do. So before that I just wanted to know the opinion of experts in this forum, whether it's a config problem not being set correctly by me, or it's an issue with my host ? Any info will be greatly appreciated.
