Web Config Error What may be the problem?

[Arif Çimen]

Hi everybody,

I made my first ASP.Net application and deployed it.

There came an error on the server:

What may be wrong in web.config file , or do I have to put it on to the root
of my site.

Thanks for any help.

Yes, web.config with settings like <authentication> needs to be deployed
to the root directory of your application. This also means that you've configured
this directory in IIS as an independant application (aka virtual directory).
