VS2010

Hi,

I get the above error when i run a website in vs 2010..

I have already tried the available solutions:
1)Configure the website in IIS
2) Looking for the web.configs (not needed) and removing them.
3)moving the web.config from subfolder to the main.

But all this did not work for me..

Please guide me.. Is there any additional setting to be done.

As I m facing this issue for the first time.

Regards,
Janavi

If you get this error, it means what it says. You have a web.config file in a subfolder of your site. It has the allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' value, but in IIS you do not have a separate application defined at this level. This is an error. Remove this value from your web.config at the level that's getting the error, or define this level as it's own application.
