Looks like the application is written in .net 2.0 while IIS thinks that
the application is 1.1. If you view the properties tab for the virtual
directory you will be able to change the version in the asp.net tab.

Set up a separate application pool for 2.0.
Make sure that the app in question is set to run 2.0.
Move it to the new application pool that is set for 2.0.

Most likely, you have the app set for one version and placed in an app pool
for a different version.

NOTE: Best method to purpose a single app to a specific version of the
framework is aspnet_regiis with an -s flag. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...netversion.asp

re:

You are trying to run an ASP.NET 1.1 app with web.config settings
which are only valid for ASP.NET 2.0.

Use the "ASP.NET" tab in the IIS Manager to configure that app so it targets ASP.NET 2.0.

default website, properties, asp.net tab, asp.net version changed to 2.#
then IISRESET.

is this right ?

Juan T. Llibre

Yes, that is right.

The error message, however, is quite specific :
"Unrecognized configuration section 'connectionStrings' "

That is the error message sent when a 2.0 app is being targeted to 1.1.

Have you changed the <configuration...> section header ?

It should be :
<configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">

One more thing.

Did you do that for the "Default Web Site",
or for the *specific* application which is throwing the error?

Unless you're developing in the root application,
you need to do that for the specific application which is returning the error.

i wouldnt know where to find the "<configuration...> section header " even

i changed the default website to 2.0 , could not find anywhere else to
change to 2.0 to be honest.
Unless you're developing in the root application,
you need to do that for the specific application which is returning the
error.

i will try creating a new app quickly in visual studio 2005 - maybe its a
problem in the setup in the code.

re:

In the web.config of your application, of course.
