Is anyone familiar with this error? I have this running just fine on my
local machine but when I pushed it out to our development server I get this
error. I have no idea what it is saying. Any clues?

Well, thats very strange. Normally this works fine - what OS is on the
server? - I've only ever done it on a Windows 2000 box. Anyway, ASP.NET
certainly thinks that the web.config is in a subdir of the application, for
some reason, even though you're saying it is in the application's root
directory and that there is an application defined there. Maybe you could
try removing and recreating the application through IIS?
From the documentation about the <authentication > element, it states
"Configures ASP.NET authentication support. This element can be declared
only at the machine, site, or application level. Any attempt to declare it
in a configuration file at the subdirectory or page level will result in a
parser error message."
This doesn't apply to the <authorizatio n> element, which can be defined at
any subfolder in the application's boundaries.

Hi Pete,
Since you've mentioned that the web application run well on the dev machine
but failed on the deployment server. I think the problem mainly due to the
deployment server's IIS site's virtual folder hierarchy. I've mentioned the
error info contains the folder struture of your develpment site as below:
C:\Webs\CorpWeb \products\image bridge\myimageb ridge\web.confi g
It's so deep that I suspect whether there is any virutal folder(at the
upper-level of your appliation) which has host a asp.net web application.
If so, your application will be consided as a sub folder of the upper level
asp.net web application. Also, you can try creating a new virutual folder
under the site's root folder and deployment the web application in that
virutal directory to see whether the problem remains.
In addition, would you provide me more detailed of your deployment site's
IIS folder info?
Just those vds within
"C:\Webs\CorpWe b\products\imag ebridge\myimage bridge\web.conf ig"
which are the upper-level of your web application and how are their
Directory setting in the IIS. Then, I can try generating some tests on my
side regarding on the issue. Thanks.

Try something like this in your web.config file - in my case, I use it to
disable the authentication requirement for a subfolder. (Also, make sure
that your subfolder is NOT configured as an application.)

<authorizatio n>

Ok here is what I have.
The root web on this server is located at C:\Webs\CorpWeb . In IIS this is
setup as the Web Site. This is all classic ASP code. Everything below this
directory is part of our web site.
My new ASP.NET app is located in
C:\Webs\CorpWeb \products\image bridge\myimageb ridge. This location is of
course a subfolder of the main web site. This is the only location of
ASP.NET code on our site as of today, so I have a web.config in that subdir.
On IIS I started with no virtual directory in this subdir. From other
advice I tried creating a virtual directory in this subfolder and made sure
it was setup as an app. It made no difference.
I guess I'm not familiar with how virtual directories work with regards to
ASP.NET, so bear with my ignorance here.
As an experiment I did create new subfolder off the main website named MIB
and made it a virtual directory. I copied all my ASP.NET code into that
folder and it seems to work ok. But this isn't really what I want. There
are a number of pages in our site that reference the ASP.NET code in the
original directory /products/imagebridge/myimagebridge. I can create
virtual directory in this location if necessary, but I need pages to be able
to reference it as the full path not the virtual directory name.
I think I've just confused myself even more. Maybe I need to go back to the
basics of ASP.NET and virtual directories. I think what has confused me is
that it all works fine on my local dev box with no virtual directories, just
the default web site.

Hi Brett,
If you want to preserve the path, you don't need to create a virtual
directory at the point where the ASP.NET application code starts. As long as
it is under the main web, or another virtual directory, then thats no
problem. You just need to create the application at that point.
E.g. I just tested this by creating an ASP.NET app called WebApplication1
under the main web - [incidentally, since its in a direct subfolder of the
main web, it doesn't create a virtual directory (e.g. its in
C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\WebApplicat ion1). But it does create an application
there*. However, all this would apply if WebApplication1 was a virtual
directory too]
Then I created a simple page, at C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\WebApplicat ion1, which
does something on the server - a button which sets a label to some text, in
server side code. I ran that, using http://localhost/WebApplication1/WebForm1.aspx , and made sure it worked.
Then I created a subfolder Sub1, then another under that, Sub2, and then
created a bin folder under Sub2. I copied the WebForm1.aspx, web.config into
Sub2, and the dll into Sub2\bin.
If I then go to http://localhost/WebApplication1/Sub.../WebForm1.aspx, I
get the parser error you got, about web.config containing stuff that should
only be in the root folder. Fair enough, because it is just a subfolder of
the apps root folder.
So, in IIS, I can create an application on Sub2 (but not a virtual
directory), and I can access the same URL again, and everything works fine.
Sub2 contains a completely separate IIS/ASP.NET application, which you can
access with the full path.
The way I think of it is that this creating an application thing sets
application boundaries, so that the folder you create the application at,
and every subfolder under it which is not itself an application defines the
scope of that application. IIS and ASP.NET will treat all the folders making
up the application as one entity, and any access to pages in those folders
will share Session and Application objects, global.asax, etc, etc. I'm sure
thats over-simplified, but thats how I think of it.
HTH,
Pete
* You can tell if its created a virtual directory by looking at the
properties of the folder in IIS, and looking at the local path - if its
greyed out and just has a relative path in there (in this example,
\WebApplication 1) then its not a virtual directory. If it is not greyed out,
and has a full path (say E:\MyOtherWebFo lders\Webapp1) then it is a virtual
directory (also if the icon is a folder with a globe, and not just a folder
icon, its a virtual directory).

application boundaries, so that the folder you create the application at,
and every subfolder under it which is not itself an application defines the
scope of that application. IIS and ASP.NET will treat all the folders making
up the application as one entity, and any access to pages in those folders
will share Session and Application objects, global.asax, etc, etc. I'm sure
thats over-simplified, but thats how I think of it.

* You can tell if its created a virtual directory by looking at the
properties of the folder in IIS, and looking at the local path - if its
greyed out and just has a relative path in there (in this example,
\WebApplication 1) then its not a virtual directory. If it is not greyed out,
and has a full path (say E:\MyOtherWebFo lders\Webapp1) then it is a virtual
directory (also if the icon is a folder with a globe, and not just a folder
icon, its a virtual directory).

news:e%******** ********@TK2MSF TNGP10.phx.gbl. .. Ok here is what I have.
The root web on this server is located at C:\Webs\CorpWeb . In IIS this is setup as the Web Site. This is all classic ASP code. Everything below
this directory is part of our web site.
My new ASP.NET app is located in C:\Webs\CorpWeb \products\image bridge\myimageb ridge. This location is of course a subfolder of the main web site. This is the only location of ASP.NET code on our site as of today, so I have a web.config in that
subdir. On IIS I started with no virtual directory in this subdir. From other advice I tried creating a virtual directory in this subfolder and made
sure it was setup as an app. It made no difference.
I guess I'm not familiar with how virtual directories work with regards to ASP.NET, so bear with my ignorance here.
As an experiment I did create new subfolder off the main website named MIB and made it a virtual directory. I copied all my ASP.NET code into that folder and it seems to work ok. But this isn't really what I want. There are a number of pages in our site that reference the ASP.NET code in the original directory /products/imagebridge/myimagebridge. I can create virtual directory in this location if necessary, but I need pages to be
able to reference it as the full path not the virtual directory name.
I think I've just confused myself even more. Maybe I need to go back to
the basics of ASP.NET and virtual directories. I think what has confused me
is that it all works fine on my local dev box with no virtual directories,
just the default web site.

Since you've mentioned that the web application run well on the dev machine but failed on the deployment server. I think the problem mainly due to
the deployment server's IIS site's virtual folder hierarchy. I've mentioned the error info contains the folder struture of your develpment site as
below: C:\Webs\CorpWeb \products\image bridge\myimageb ridge\web.confi g
It's so deep that I suspect whether there is any virutal folder(at the upper-level of your appliation) which has host a asp.net web
application. If so, your application will be consided as a sub folder of the upper level asp.net web application. Also, you can try creating a new virutual
folder under the site's root folder and deployment the web application in that virutal directory to see whether the problem remains.
In addition, would you provide me more detailed of your deployment
site's IIS folder info? Just those vds within "C:\Webs\CorpWe b\products\imag ebridge\myimage bridge\web.conf ig" which are the upper-level of your web application and how are their Directory setting in the IIS. Then, I can try generating some tests on
my side regarding on the issue. Thanks.

Perfect! That is the golden answer I needed.
I simply created an application at the path I wanted and it now works
perfectly.
This also clarifies for me why it worked locally and not on the server.
Locally I had used VS.Net to create the app for me and had no idea that it
actually went into IIS and set that directory up as an application (the
problem with Wizards!).
Thank you so much for the help. You undoubtedly saved me much head-banging
and fumbling around. And less work for myself this weekend. Now I can go
enjoy the fabulous weather here in the Northwest.

news:OV******** ******@TK2MSFTN GP09.phx.gbl... Hi Brett, If you want to preserve the path, you don't need to create a virtual directory at the point where the ASP.NET application code starts. As long
as it is under the main web, or another virtual directory, then thats no problem. You just need to create the application at that point.
E.g. I just tested this by creating an ASP.NET app called WebApplication1 under the main web - [incidentally, since its in a direct subfolder of the main web, it doesn't create a virtual directory (e.g. its in C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\WebApplicat ion1). But it does create an application there*. However, all this would apply if WebApplication1 was a virtual directory too]
Then I created a simple page, at C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\WebApplicat ion1, which does something on the server - a button which sets a label to some text,
in server side code. I ran that, using http://localhost/WebApplication1/WebForm1.aspx , and made sure it worked.
Then I created a subfolder Sub1, then another under that, Sub2, and then created a bin folder under Sub2. I copied the WebForm1.aspx, web.config
into Sub2, and the dll into Sub2\bin.
If I then go to http://localhost/WebApplication1/Sub.../WebForm1.aspx,
I get the parser error you got, about web.config containing stuff that
should only be in the root folder. Fair enough, because it is just a subfolder of the apps root folder.
So, in IIS, I can create an application on Sub2 (but not a virtual directory), and I can access the same URL again, and everything works
fine. Sub2 contains a completely separate IIS/ASP.NET application, which you can access with the full path.
The way I think of it is that this creating an application thing sets application boundaries, so that the folder you create the application at, and every subfolder under it which is not itself an application defines
the scope of that application. IIS and ASP.NET will treat all the folders
