Configuration error ?

[Promeneur]

I have a web APS application that works fine at home, with IIS. In IIS, the
application is an application, not a file folder.



When I copy the file on the Internet sever, my application does not work
anymore. I get the message:

***

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.

Source Error:


Line 23: "Forms", "Passport" et "None"
Line 24: -->
Line 25: <authentication mode="None" />
Line 26:
Line 27:





Is that really a security issue, or a more general problem? Someone said to
me it is because I just copied the file in the server directory, the server
does not know it is an application.



Maybe it is that, but I have no idea how to declare an application at my
provider server.



Er... I hope I am clear enough. Any help?



Thanks

Bon, c'est réglé, il fallait des paramètres propres au provider.

Are you using the Copy Project within the Project Menu in VS.NET?

If you specify to use Front Page in the WebAccess Method: portion of the
dialog box, the copy operation will create the Application IIS virtual
directory if it does not exist.

-------------------------------------

Firtly go into IIS on the hosting solution and make sure your web
application is configured as a web applicaiton. Go in to Internet Services
Manager | Default Website. Have a look at the icon for the directory where
your application is. Does it look a little like a CD or a donut? If not,
right click on your web applications directory and go to 'properties'. In
the Directory tab in application settings, there should be an item
application name. If there is a 'create' button next to this, click it.

Also, try to make sure you use relative links as "~/default.aspx" instead of
"/default.aspx". The ~ will make sure it goes to the application root on the
server which may be a different relative link than "/" was on your
development machine. "/" will refer to the \wwwroot\ directory, "~/" will
refer to \wwwroot\MyWebApp\ directory.
