Hi all,
I am trying to open an application in Visual Studio.Net 2008.
I am getting amn error as

Error 14 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:\Documents and Settings\Amul\Desktop\AMUL PROJECTS\ChatApplication\NotPlannedChat\WebChatApplication\Web.config 46

How to configure the ready website application to IIS version 5.1 or 6?

Kindly help

You may want to post the section of your web.config that contains the attribute.

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.
