Hi,

I am getting the configuration error when trying to launch the Default.aspx after using the sitemappath control. I have copy and pasted the error message below. Please help me to make the necessary changes to make it work correctly. Thank you very much.

Error Message:
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 39: Set forms authentication and define the login page

Line 42: <forms loginUrl="Default.aspx" />
Line 43: </authentication>

Hi,
    This is an IIS configuration error. Basically the application hasn't been correctly figured as virtual directory or some part of it. I'd suggest checking out Appendix B which describes how to configure IIS and these two threads:

http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=38426

and

http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=37465

which go into a lot more detail on some of the issues you might encounter. I'm in the process of rewriting this appendix for the C# version of the book in light of all the issues that have since arisen. I will make it available online for people to download here too, as it's basically a "cross-language" appendix anyway.
