If you want to use inetpub/wwwroot/aspnet as your application, remove this line :

Line 26: and any other lines which define MachineToApplication beyond application level

If you want to use d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet\begin\chapter02\ as your application, create an IIS Application which points to d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet\begin\chapter02\

maybe you can refer link above. For my application, my web.config store in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet\begin\chapter02\ and when i move the web.config to d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet and the problem is solve. Please check also does your application have two web.config file.

Answer 4

Looks like this is a very generic message from iis. in my case we enabled integrated security on web config but forgot to change IIS app pool identity. Things to check -

• go to event viewer on your server and check exact message.
• -make sure your app pool and web config using same security(E.g Windows,integrated)

Note: this may not help every time but this might be one of the reason for above error message.

Answer 5

Looks like you have <authentication mode="Windows" /> in your web.config file but your hosting provider won't let you use that. Just remove that line.

Answer 6

Try removing the contents of the <compilers> tag in the web.config file. Depending on who you're hosting with, some don't allow the compiler in production.

Your application is trying to compile when it is called and their servers won't allow it.
