Let me preface this by saying windows servers baffle me, so forgive my ignorance.  I'm sure I'm missing something simple, I just don't know what.

It is a remote install on a Windows 2003 server.  What I have done:

• created db and edited web.config
• uploaded all files and set permissions
• read and re-read installation guides
• searched this forum as best I could for connectionStrings errors

After getting past the requirePermission="false" error the installation hangs with this:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Configuration Error

Line 19: 		</sectionGroup>
Line 20: 	</configSections>
Line 21: 	<connectionStrings>
Line 22: 		<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
Line 23: 		<add

I get the feeling that the server lacks a key feature if it can't even interpret <connectionStrings>.

Are the .NET and ASP.NET versions way outdated?  If so, how can I update them?

Thank you, sounds like an easy solution.

There's no IIS console that I can find, nor an ASP.NET tab, so l'll call the host tomorrow.
