Q: configuration error

[JIM.H.]

Hello,

I released my application to another machine and put it under
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyProject and created a web site on this folder. Now I am
running it with http://localhost/MyProject/MyPage.aspx and I am getting the
following error.
What is problem? Do I have to create a virtual directory for my application?
Error:
------------------------------------

Yes... well, otherwise it's going to try to be controlled by the parent
Virt Dir. Basically you need to flag it as an "application" in IIS in
order to have it be a self contained app/site.

One thing to check is that the folder is set up as an Application

Go into IIS and select the MyProject Node in the left hand window
Right click and select properties
Under the Directory Tab exaimne the Application Settings section
If the Application name field is greyed out and has a Create button next to
it you need to click the Create button to make it an application in its own
right. This also makes it a Virtual Directory
