Hello,

I am deploying my website on a WebHost Server. I have uploaded the files to the root location and have uploaded the database(changed the portal alias) and configured my web.config to point to that database. When I first tried accessing the site I received the following error :

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 65:     </authorization>
Line 66:     <!-- Ensure validationkey is not set to AutoGenerate,IsolateApps so it correctly supports webfarms -->
Line 67:     <machineKey validationKey="0742D144BFC0CFC58ED435F13EAC4088DA47D332" decryptionKey="DF5D6247622B74AA32717DFEDAF0B49A1413704FEE89F187" decryption="3DES" validation="SHA1" /> Line 68:     <!-- HttpModules for Common Functionality -->
Line 69:     <httpModules>


Having commented Line 67, I got the following error:

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 128:    <customErrors mode="Off"/>
Line 129:    <!-- forms or Windows authentication -->
Line 130:    <authentication mode="forms"> Line 131:      <!--<forms name=".DOTNETNUKE" protection="All" timeout="60" cookieless="UseCookies" />-->
Line 132:      <forms name=".DOTNETNUKE" protection="All" timeout="120" cookieless="UseCookies" />

Source File: d:\hosting\member\chillisoft\site1\web.config    Line: 130

 

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong and what's going on here. Please help on how I can solve these error messages or is it something I'm missing?

you are probably uploaded your site in a subdirectory of another asp.net application. Depending on the parent application (and its web.config) this might or might not work out well
