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.

This is because the new_directory directory is not configured as an application. Therefore, you cannot specify the authentication section there.

If it was your intention to make a new sub-application, then configure new_directory as it's own virtual directory application.

If not, then only specify the authentication section under the web.config for alwsal.net.

Sorry .. The site is uploaded in the host ! so

I understand that, but that doesn't matter.

Let me put it another way:

You have a site called alwsal.net.

Under that site, you have a directory called New_directory.

You appear have a web.config under both locations:

alwsal.net/web.config and alwsal.net/New_directory/web.config

If you have no reason to have a second web.config under New_directoty, you should just get rid of it. If you need a web.config there for some reason (to secure the folder for authorization purposes, for example) then you cannot have a section in it for <authentication>.

thanks for help ... I appreciate you ...
I removed the Web.config that's : alwsal.net/New_directory/web.config,
But Still problem ..

what's the new problem?
