Web Services error

[tshad]

I have a Web Service that works fine on my local machine, but when I move
the folder to my live site, I get the error:

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 43: by Microsoft that offers a single logon and core profile
services for member sites.
Line 44: -->
Line 45: <authentication mode="Windows" />
Line 46:


Thanks,

Hi, try to configure the folder as an application by right clicking on the
folder on IIS, selecting properties and clicking on Create under application
name.

Did you set the directory as an application in IIS?

Hi, try to configure the folder as an application by right clicking on the

application
name.

I can't do that as it is inside a folder that is already defined as an
application. I don't think I can define a folder as an application and then
define a folder inside of it also an application (can I?).

I did try that and then other errors dealing with the Web.Config file.

Here is a question.

If I am not going to open up my web services to the public, should I put the
Web Services folder in WWWRoot or my Applications folder (which is under
WWWRoot - as I don't have a Default WebSite).
