I'm developing an application in MVC3 (http://www.colombiatrolley.com/sitrolley). In my computer it runs correctly, but when I upload it to the server (a hosting service) I get this error:
Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
I know it is a very common error but I have not fixed it yet.
Some config sections are only allowed at the "root" of the application, then authentication section is one of them.
You need to configure IIS to run your your site as an application, not a sub-directory in an existing application.
For IIS 7+, right click the directory that contains your web application, and select "Convert to Application".
EDIT:
Arie van Someren is right. Looking carefully at your error, you want the <authentication> configuration to be in the web.config one level up, not the web.config in Views.
I had the same problem. I solved it by deleting the obj folder that appeared after doing a "Build > Publish".

I have a simple windows application which I want to distribute through a website which is running on Azure. I publish the app locally first and then manually copy over the artifacts to the web server at location ../fold/apps/tools
Publish location: C:\Users\MyUsername\Documents\publish
Installation folder URL: https://somewebsite/fold/apps/tools/
Update location is same as the installation folder.
The files copied over are "Application Files" folder, Myapp.application, publish.htm and setup.exe.
Now I log onto the website and download the app using https://somewebsite/fold/apps/tools/Myapp.application
Clickling on the downloaded files shows me the 'Cannot Start Application' popup. Clicking on the details button shows the following error in the log file.
SOURCES
Deployment url : file:///C:/Users/MyUsername/Downloads/Myapp.application
Deployment Provider url : https://somewebsite/fold/apps/tools/Myapp.application
ERROR SUMMARY
Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.
* Activation of C:\Users\MyUsername\Downloads\Myapp.application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:
+ The Deployment Provider specified in the manifest cannot be reached. Maybe due to network error and/or the deployment provider is not responding correctly.
+ Exception reading manifest from https://somewebsite/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2ffold%2ftools%2fMyapp.application: the manifest may not be valid or the file could not be opened.
+ DTD is prohibited in this XML document.
I don’t understand why it tries to redirect to the login page when I am logged in. To test I placed a simple text file in the same location as the .application file and was able to access it after logging in.
Please let me know where the issue might be.
Many Thanks
Turns out that 'You cannot use forms authentication with ClickOnce deployment'. See Use ClickOnce on password protected web site.
I ended up opening up the folder to the world by placing a Web.config file with
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
It was OK for me as the windows app doesn't need to be password protected.
I have a problem with deploying the 3 tier lightswitch web application on the server.
On the local server IIS7 everything works perfect but when i deploy it to the vps which also runs IIS7 it gives me this error when i try to navigate to the page:
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
I have published a package on the disc, uploaded it to the server, installed the application under Default Website with success. But when i navigate to the application it shows that error...
This is what is shown as a problem area:
Config Source
141: </system.serviceModel>
142: <uri>
143: <schemeSettings>
It is part of the web.config file. When i open it and go there i see this:
<uri>
<schemeSettings>
<add name="http" genericUriParserOptions="DontUnescapePathDotsAndSlashes" />
<add name="https" genericUriParserOptions="DontUnescapePathDotsAndSlashes" />
</schemeSettings>
</uri>
and add part is underlined which gives me further explanation of the error:
web.conf error: the element 'schemeSettings' cannot contain child element 'add' because the parent element's content model is empty.
I tried looking on the internet for the solution but no luck...
Thank you!
I have found what was the problem.
On the IIS i had DefaultAppPool selected for the application. When i changed it to ASP.NET v4.0 error was gone. This can be done in application basic settings.
Open IIS Manager, select the application, in the right column of explorer click Basic Settings, click button Select and choose ASP.NET v4.0, click Ok.
That was it for me. Hope it helps someone...
I have developed a Web Pages 2 website for my company using WebMatrix 2 that includes a simple SQL Compact Edition (.sdf file) database. Sounds simple. Runs perfectly on my local development box.
However, upon FTP to my Web host, it's a no-go. The first error I received was this:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.
Source Error:
Line 1: #{
Line 2: WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("Omniflow", "UserProfile", "UserId", "Email", true);
Line 3: }
I have searched and searched and searched the Internet, trying to find out what the source of this problem is and how to fix it. I haven't found the answer yet. I gather than apparently some needed assemblies/dlls are not being uploaded with the application. I have tried both FTP and the Web Deploy method with no fix.
Is this the root of the problem? And why does WebMatrix not upload all its dependencies? If it cannot, why is there nothing in the online literature from Microsoft--and it should come from Microsoft--or anyone else describing this issue?
Are you using one of the hosting sites listed on the Microsoft WebMatrix page: http://www.microsoft.com/web/webmatrix/ ? I know that when I deployed my WebMatrix site to a generic IIS server, it took some extra DLL's in the bin directory, and a couple of settings to be fine tuned before it worked.
While publishing check whether your have selected Database file( .sdf file ) or not.If not then select it and publish.
Hope it will work for you.
Ensure that you have all the SqlCE DLLs required for accessing the SqlCE database.
They should be present in the bin\, bin\x86\ and bin\AMD64\ folders.
You can try creating a new site using Site from Template -> Empty Site (ASP.NET) and checking the bin folder to see which all dlls are present.
If you don't already have them in your site, add them. That should solve your problem.
I am new to our company and just trying to set up my workstation. We have an ASP website I am trying to debug in Visual Studio 2010. In the "Web" section of the project properties we have the "Use Local IIS Web server" option selected, however when I try to debug the page I'm working on I get the error "Unable to start debugging on the web server. See help for common configuration errors." I can see the site in IIS (Under Sites -> Default Web Site -> SiteImWorkingOn), and both IIS and the VS project are using .NET 4.0. Any suggestions?
EDIT: I should mention that I've run the "aspnet regiis -i" command in the command prompt to make sure IIS was running .NET 4.0
SECOND EDIT: I found that ASP.NET was not turned on, after doing this I am getting the following error:
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

I have the following projects within my solution.
MyWebApplication.Data --> Here i interact with my Data Repository
MyWebApplication.Services --> Here i interact with the Data Layer
MyWebApplication.Web --> The UI which relies on the Service Layer
MyWebApplication.Tests --> Unit testing project
For MONTHS i have had NO problems with IIS in my local dev environment. Ready for a long weekend of programming but all day i have been getting 500 Server Errors when simply trying to resolve the Home page. Before I went to bed all was well, the entire day thereafter i could NOT even load the home/index view.
After looking at the logs it says continually MyWebApplication.Data.System (which is a class i created called System()) does not include Web. But no where in code is this true. Then i get another error of mismatching files in the Temp Directory.
Steps I have taken:
Deleted all temp files
Created a new repository in IIS and pointed URL there, No luck
Cleaned solution
Deleted all bin folders to have regenerated... No Luck
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Without the details of the error messages, one strategy may be to create a new MVC project and copy/paste the files over to it.
A few other common causes:
Are you referencing any 64-bit libraries but compiling the project as 32-bit (or vice-versa)? Try changing the "bitness" of your application.
If your application is 32-bit and is running on a 64-bit server, you need to enable running 32-bit apps in IIS. See http://exhibita.com/blog/post/2010/03/30/IIS-75-on-x64-with-32bit-applications.aspx
If all else fails, please post the exact error messages. If all it says is "HTTP 500: Internal Server Error", you should enable debug output or run your app from the server itself (actually using a web browser on the server), which will tell IIS it's "safe" to display full debug information. The debugging messages have actually been pretty useful in my experience.
Figured it out. In
MyWebApplication.Web project, within the Shared/Site.Master I added a imported a reference to my Data Layer. (i.e., <%# Import Namespace="MyWebApplication.Data" %>
I resolved by removing the static reference to my ShoppingCart class in the Data layer and just created an ActionResult to return the same and in the MasterPage (which currently holds the javsscript to allow the user to peek into their cart from anywhere in the site without a redirect to a specific page) used the Html.RenderAction() and just returned Content(shoppingCartString).
Guess I have learned that within the Site.Master page it is complied differently than every other page in an MVC application. I can positively say this because in other pages I am doing exactly as I attempted to do here without any issues. Maybe its the build process?
Anyhow, problem solved and hopefully it can help someone else too.
