Error in deployment

Hi guys,
I am a novel and I try to publish my web site project built in Asp.Net 3.5 (C#) on my Aruba's hosting but it occurs this error:

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.

Source Error:

Line 52: </compilation>
Line 53: 
Line 54: <membership defaultProvider="AccessMembershipProvider">
Line 55: <providers>
Line 56: <clear/>

I used AccessMembership provider. It could be bin directory when I inserted accessprovider.dll, to occur this error?

I didn't configure my site in IIS but directly I decided to publish on my hosting. It's wrong?

Thanks for help!

Hi there,

You're not really providing the information I asked for in a private messsage so it's difficult to tell what the problem is. At the end of the book you see a number of possible errors you may run into, including this one. Does any of the resons apply? Do you have your site in a sub folder (e.g. www.domainname.com/AppName as opposed to www.domainname.com)? How exactly does you site's structure look? How doo you browse to the site etc etc etc.

Also, you seem to be using the AccessProvider. Did you follow the correct procedues (compile DLL to bin, configure web.config etc)

Maybe your host can help you out. Did you cantact them?

Cheers,

Imar

Hi Imaar,
sorry but I am Italian and sometimes I don't understand the sense of the phrase.

So, I have my site in a sub folder and the example is this:
http://www.mydomain.it/MyWebSite and in effect just in time I remember that in local server I browse my website with http://localhost:1856 and then it run my web site. Maybe I must change the Application's proprerty (virtual Path from "/" to "/MyWebSite" ?

Thanks

Changing that property is a local, development setting only. Instead you need to upload the files to the root, and not to the /MyWebSite foloder Alternatively, ask your host to make MyWebSite an application.

Cheers,
