but it works fine in the old machine.

after a long search i found that it is due to the miss match of machine.config file. can any one tell me where this file is present and how to correct this problem

Not sure that I agree with your diagnosis, I believe its a problem in IIS with your application. Here is one possible solution:
IIS Insider

Hello karthik

In which version of .net you hav done it.If its in .net1.1 you cannot directly copy the project unless you create a solution icon in your virtual directly. if it is in .net2.0,problem may be different

hi kenobewan,
i think the problem is not with the iis as when i do a project in that machine it works fine. only the copied projects gets me that error. please help me with this.

Not sure why you are assuming the projects will work fine when copied, that they are not working is evidence to the contrary. We need to find out why :).

If you have clicked the configuration button and checked IIS settings, then we can move on to other options.

Try commenting out the authentication section in your web.config and see if this enables you to copy the project...

i tried that also. but i shows the same error on the next part which ever comes, either authorisation or what ever comes next to it. what to do

[kenobewan]

Did you comment out authentication in this file F:\sk\AjaxGrid_src\AjaxGrid_src\AjaxGrid_demo\web. config or the project web.config?
