Authentication mode in web.config causing crash.

[John Lynagh via .NET 247]

Hi there,
I am having serious problems with my web.config file. When the authentication lines are added below my application crashes. When they are removed it works fine. Is there syntax error below or is there something more sinister going on.

Any help greatly appreciated.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
* <authentication mode="Forms">
* <forms name="AuthCookie" loginUrl="login.aspx" />
* </authentication>
</system.web>

<location path="MyMobile.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
</configuration>

Thanks,
John Lynagh

My tag looks like this
<forms name=".blahblah" loginUrl="/login.aspx" protection="All"
timeout="20" path="/"></forms>

You have *two* <system.web> sections in your web.config.
Consolidate all your settings in *one* <system.web> section.

He does?

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
* <authentication mode="Forms">
* <forms name="AuthCookie" loginUrl="login.aspx" />
* </authentication>
</system.web>
<location path="MyMobile.aspx">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
</configuration>

He's got a second <system.web> under the <location> element, which is fine.
I am having serious problems with my web.config file. When the
authentication lines are added below my application crashes.

What's the exception thrown?

Hmmm...you're right.

I should go out and have a few beers on this Friday afternoon.
