Hi Friends,
I'm getting following error in web config when i m trying to execute my project on another machine.I tried to create virtual directory as well as configured IIS exploer to solve it.But still getting the same error.please help me for this.

Error:

HTML

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.

XML

<section name="jsonSerialization" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingJsonSerializationSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>

There is likely another web.config somewhere in the heirarchy of your site.

Generally this happens when you have more than one Web.Config file in your application root folder.
Just check if you have more than one. If so, remove the duplicate copies.
