I created an ASP.NET 4.5 forms app and it works fine on my computer. When I published it to my www.asphostportal.com account, it is failing with this error.

went in IIS Manager and created a virtual directory "app.name". That is the folder inside which I put all my app files under root. But it is still throwing that error. I tried looking at books, like "Pro C# 5.0 and the .Net 4.5 Framework" but nothing about authentication for forms. I have not used membership before as I never had to deal with users. What am I missing here?

Please don't suggest redoing this in MVC. Not feasible. I appreciate any suggestions or directions.

ASP IS A TECHNIQUE AND DOES NOT DEPEND ON A SPECIFIC LANGUSGE

Hi there,

Instead of creating a virtual directory, create an Application instead (it's in the same IIS right-click menu as New Virtual Directory.)

@Attaullah: your post isn't really adding any value to help resolve the issue from the OP. Please consider what you're posting before you hit Submit Reply. Thanks.

Cheers,

I have asked my hosting provider and they solve it in just few minutes. The key to solve it is to convert the folder to application. Cheers...
