Hello,

Stuck on adding a menu to the site exercise. I receive the following error even when trying to compile the downloaded source for chapter 7.

Server Error in '/Chapter 07' 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.

Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Did you post this in the correct forum category? The ASP.NET book doesn't use MySQL.

That said, it sounds like a security issue. Not sure how to fix it as I have little experience with MySQL.

Cheers,

Oh, this:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Conf ig\machine.config Line: 276

seems to suggest it's a global issue. Looks like you installed a separate sitemap provider for MySQL? That seems to have broken your sites. Try uninstalling, or create a backup of the said file and then remove the references to the MySQL Provider. Not familiar with it so I am not sure what it adds to machine.config.

Cheers,

I deleted my machine.config and restored the default. Everything seems to be working properly now.

Thanks for the prompt response!!
