ASP.NET 'Server Application Unavailable'

Ok, I have a website, that I am hosting myself with XP Pro on a virtual machine, all is well. I can access the main index in the directory, internally, and I can access the asp.net PAGE but not the application and design, so I know that I am picking up the write page, just getting an error, here's the exact error:

" Server Application Unavailable

The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur. "

Bear in mind that I am fairly new to hosting, and this is my first asp.net actually hosted, once configured properly, but I guess one question is where can i find the 'application event log' on the web server(on the virtual machine) to get an exact error? I am using VWD 2008 Express on my host, vista machine, and transferring the full, built, directory over to my hosting directory on the virtual machine. Any ideas?

Do you have IIS installed on the virtual machine? If so do you have a virtual directory set up on your virtual machine?

Check your Windows Event Log first...

Start menu->point to Administrative Tools->and then click Event Viewer

If it's not there you'll have to look for the IIS event log which are found in your
C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles directory.

Yes, I do have IIS installed, because I can reach all of the main html page that I am hosting off of it properly, and what do you mean virtual directory...and Frinny I will look for the logs in those two places and get back...

I've moved the thread to the IIS Forum since this is an IIS related problem.

re: ASP.NET 'Server Application Unavailable'

Ok, I've managed to go to the Administrative Tools->Event Viewer->Application Then the one's that say source from ASP.NET have this "description" of the error...

Failed to initialize the AppDomain:/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT

Exception: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException

Message: Exception of type 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException ' was thrown.

I've taken the stack trace out, it was fairly long...Anyone have an idea why I'm getting this? I'll Google it more in the meantime.
