I am currently looking into devloping an ASP.NET website. I have configured IIS7 on my development machine as well as my server.

I have copied the development files to the local IIS server on my development machine and this works fine without any problems.

However, when I upload the ASP.NET application to my site via FTP in VS2010 to mydomain.com/myasp it displays an error which says:

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.

Source Error: Line 34: ASP.NET to identify an incoming user. Line 35: --> Line 36: Line 37: section enables configuration

I've converted the directory within IIS to an application but it is still coming up with the error.

Any help you can provide would be great thanks

I found out it was because I was calling the ASPX from http://localhost/myaspx.aspx directly on the server for some reason this causes the error. When I tried it http://www.mydomain.com/myaspx.aspx it worked fine.

Bit of a strange problem why it doesn't like using localhost. I'm guessing this must be a mis-configuration problem with iis

Is localhost defined in the hosts file?
