allowDefinition ='MachineToAppl ication'

I have been looking around on different sites and fora, and i have a similar
problem than some people had before...
it is an error to use a section registered as
allowDefinition ='MachineToAppl ication' beyond application level. This error
can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application
in IIS.

this is the solution i've read (almost everywhere)
"You need to create an application or a virtual directory ( with the IIS
Manager ) for the directory in which the code is placed."

Since I have several subfolders in my app, that would mean that I have to
make an application of every single folder?

There has to be another solution, or am I wrong ?

No.

It means that if you have an application, you should not configure the
MachineToApplic ation settings in web.config's in the subdirectories.

All you have to do is set the MachineToApplic ation settings in your
Application's root, and they will be inherited in the subdirectories.

Solution :

Configure all MachineToApplic ation settings in your application's root,
and remove all MachineToApplic ation settings from your application's
subdirectories.

Well in the mean time I found a workaround in the machine.config
but had a bad feeling about it, because it seems a bit risky

thx

Hi, Boonaap.

Here's the main distinctions to keep in mind :

MachineToApplic ation settings in machine.config are machine-wide.
They affect *all* .net applications on the machine.

You can restrict MachineToApplic ation settings to *one* application
by making the settings in *that* application's web.config.

MachineToApplic ation web.config settings in any subdirectory
not configured as an Application throw the error you encountered.
