Configuration Error In My Asp.Net Web Application

Question

4.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have made a web application using 3 projects as

1.BAL
2.DAL
3.Rukmini
BAL is class library project containing class files needed in the application.

DAL is also a class library project containing class files needed in the application.

Rukmini Is the folder which contains actual aspx files such as login.aspx,etc

I have uploaded my above web application on main server(not on any local e.g IIS) and my web.config is only in Rukmini folder.

when i run my application online it gives following error----

"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 also tried authentication mode="None" and "Windows" and "Forms" all, but it gives same error message pointing at authentication mode="None" line in web.config file.

Please help..

Solution 1

After you uploaded the folder along with necessary DLL's, did you converted it into a website? Hosted properly on IIS such that it can be accessed?
For hosting a web application: MSDN: Walkthrough: Publishing a Web Site[^]

IIS Specific:
1. In IIS7: Deploying ASP.NET Websites on IIS 7.0 [^]
2. In IIS6: Deployment of a Website on IIS[^]

Further, make sure you don't have multiple config files in your root folder. Only one config file should exist.

:)Just uploading a folder would not host your application on web.

Solution 2

Check your application ,if it have more than one web.config file at different heirarch levels,then this error occurs also.
Remove other web.config and then run.
