the web.config that specifies '.PHYSCNT' is located in localhost/wPysCnt/, along with all the other files required for this application. The login application has it's own web.config in localhost/wlogin/, with all of it's other files as well. Does this make a difference?
Thanks,

>Is this web.config the one in the directory where the files you are accessing or is it locating in the parent directory or some other location?
