Hi guys, thanks for taking the time to reaad this

Im trying to move my portal to another server, but im getting an 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 56:   </system.codedom>
Line 57:   <system.web>
Line 58:     <machineKey validationKey="FCC6A85AC2B9BE9A24A2E2A96827FA44152A35DB" decryptionKey="E2A0EB03E0F0C2DAF032CDFAB3EC942EC9C2AB7333B9DC16" decryption="3DES" validation="SHA1" />

Once a read something about this problem on these forums, but i cant find it now

What i did:

-I added an alias with the name of the remote before moving the site and database

-Copied the database to the remote server, and tested it from my local host intallation (It worked)

-Copied the entire site to a remote site

-Tryed to access the site and got the previous error

Ill appreciate any help, thanks in advance

Do you have IIS setup properly? Setup for .Net 2.0?

You are getitng this error because your web.config file is NOT in the root of the virtual directory.

You can ONLY set machine key values on the root of the virtual directory/website.

Thanks for your answer

Today i solved that little problem, i dont know exactly what i did but it works, i did have something to do with the virtual directory

Well, it is "working" now, and i say "working" because im having a little problem

I used a find and replace stored procedure from bi4ce.com to update all the html text modules
It replaced all of the references from 'dnn' with 'cobaes', but something strage happens, links only work fine when im signed as admin or host, and not when im not logged, when im not logged, i see the links in the bottom of the window status with the old reference (dnn), dows anyone know what is happening?
I erased temporary internet files, cookies, I dont think it has much to do, since it is not working unless i log in as admin

Thanks for your time

Restart the application, regualr users and non logged in users will have the text content cached.  If you restart the application the cache will be cleared.
