UPDATE: Found Solution. Need to convert Virtual Directory into the Application in IIS of Server 2008.
Hi,
The purpose of the following test is to make two application use separate copies of web.config.
I have an ASP.NET (4.0) application running on Server 2008 as a site "MySite". This app has web.config that set Forms authentication. Everything works.
I create a test application (in VS 2012). Then on the Server 2008 in the site "MySite" I created a Virtual Directory "MyVDir" where I have one page (test.aspx and bin folder with test.dll). The MyVDir also has web.config which has Authentication set to "None". When I try to Browse the test.aspx in the Virtual Directory I get error:
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: 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.
The error points to the line Authentication in the web.config of the Virtual Directory.
What am I missing? TIA.
