ASP.NET What causes: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application…?

Question

I have an ASP.NET web site. I keep getting the error below in VS 2008. The site works fine from a browser. I have made every folder using IIS manager an ASP.NET app. Why does it

Answer 1

I dealed a lot with this error when having more than one web.config in the same virtual web directory / website. It may happen if you make a temporary backup of your website for example. Could you verify it?
