I have a new windows server 2012. I have iis 8 and added the roles that I needed. I also have .NET 4.5 framework in place. I wrote the web app in VS 2010 with c#. It is a 4.0 framework. I went step by step on adding the web app to the server and to iis 8. When I type in the web address I get this error:

HTML

Server Error in '/' 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.

Parser Error Message: 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.

Line 37:     <customErrors mode="Off" defaultRedirect="Oops.aspx"/>
Line 38:     <authentication mode="Forms">
Line 39:       <forms loginUrl="/Login.aspx"/>
Line 40:     </authentication>


Source File: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\fpapp2013\web.config    Line: 38

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.18447

Is there any way for me to fix this? What else do I need?

Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter helped me to find my issue and I found another issue when I did that. I had two copies of the same web app in the same folder. Removed one and the other worked. Now have a issue with Crystal Reports which is not a problem.

I can think of two problems:
1. You are working with Virtual Directory - in that case turn it into an application
2. Form Authentication not enabled in IIS - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771077(v=ws.10).aspx[^]
