Developement Server problem?

I have switched off IIS (by going to enter cmd from run, then entering: net stop iisadmin, the entering Y to the dependencies question.

Yet (now in Chapter 4) when I run files I keep getting error logs like:

Quote:

Warning 1 C:\BegASPNET\Site\Demos\ControlsDemo.aspx: ASP.NET runtime error: 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. (C:\BegASPNET\site\web.config line 82) C:\BegASPNET\Site\Demos\ControlsDemo.aspx 1 1 C:\BegASPNET\

Error 2 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. C:\BegASPNET\Site\web.config 82

At the moment I would prefer not to run IIS, since localhost is normally looking at Apache 2 - and up until now, the development server has been OK. But after googling around, I am not clear how to clear the errors.

Hi there,

Take a look at page 656; it lists the common reasons for this error.

My guess is that you opened C:\BegASPNET as a site in VWD, rather than opening C:\BegASPNET\Site.

Hope this helps,

Yes I think that's right. I got round my problem rather tortuorously (just before I came back here) by rebuilding the site - by opening a new web site into a directory with the folders set up, then adding each page as a new item - then pasting the code into it. The solution on page 656 looks a whole bunch neater! Thanks.
