Hi there,

The <forms> element is a sub element of <authentication>

However, in your example, you closed the <authentication> tag with a self closing /. Remove the / and add an additional </authentication> tag to the end, like this:

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms name="franchise" loginUrl="default.aspx" protection="All" timesout="60">
</authentication>
<authorization>
...

Also, timesout is not a valid attribute; this should be timeout.

HtH,

Imar
