I built an ASP.NET app in VS2008, then tried to run it under IIS 7 and Vista Ultimate on a different machine.
Initially I had errors like:
HTTP Error 500.19 – Internal Server Error
Description: The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
Error Code: 0×80070021
Notification: BeginRequest
Module: IIS Web Core
Requested URL: http://localhost:80/Search.aspx
Physical Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebSite\Search.aspx
Logon User: Not yet determined
Logon Method: Not yet determined
Handler: Not yet determined
Config Error: This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault=”Deny”), or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode=”Deny” or the legacy allowOverride=”false”.
Config File: \\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebSite\web.config
Config Source:
93: <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" /> 94: <modules> 95: <remove name="ScriptModule" />
This page fixed it for me http://blog.donnfelker.com/2007/03/26/IIS7ThisConfigurationSectionCannotBeUsedAtThisPath.aspx. That then brought up a new error
Cannot find the error atm.
and d’oh I hadn’t installed ASP.NET with IIS, how to do that here http://www.netomatix.com/Development/IIS7_404Error.aspx. Then I realised I didn’t have the .NET 3.5 framework installed:
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Child nodes not allowed.
Source Error:
Line 76: <compilers> Line 77: <compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" warningLevel="4" type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"> Line 78: <providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v3.5" /> Line 79: <providerOption name="WarnAsError" value="false" /> Line 80: </compiler>
so I had to get that
