Here is my sitemap and web.config file, can anyone help? Here is my site map file: <siteMap xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0' > <siteMapNode title='Home' description='Starting page' url='~/Default.aspx' > <siteMapNode title='Search Products/Items' description='Search Products/Items' url='~/All_Products_Items.aspx' > <siteMapNode title='Search By Date' description='Search Date' url='~/Search_Date.aspx' /> <siteMapNode title='Search All Stores' description='Search Stores' url='~/Search_Stores.aspx' /> </siteMapNode> <siteMapNode title='Administer Records' description='Manage Records' url='~/Administer_Records.aspx' > <siteMapNode title='Administer Stores' description='Manage Stores' url='~/Stores.aspx' /> <siteMapNode title='Search Products/Items' description='Search Products/Items' url='~/All_Products_Items2.aspx' /> <siteMapNode title='Search By Date' description='Search Date' url='~/Search_Date2.aspx' /> <siteMapNode title='Search All Stores' description='Search Stores' url='~/Search_Stores2.aspx' /> </siteMapNode> </siteMapNode> </siteMap> and here is my web.config file: <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name='system.web.extensions' type='System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35'> <sectionGroup name='scripting' type='System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35'> <section name='scriptResourceHandler' type='System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35' requirePermission='false' allowDefinition='MachineToApplication'/> <sectionGroup name='webServices' type='System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingWebServicesSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35'> <section name='jsonSerialization' type='System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingJsonSerializationSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35' requirePermission='false' allowDefinition='Everywhere'/> <section name='profileService' type='System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingProfileServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35' requirePermission='false' allowDefinition='MachineToApplication'/> <section name='authenticationService' type='System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingAuthenticationServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35' requirePermission='false' allowDefinition='MachineToApplication'/> <section name='roleService' type='System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingRoleServiceSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35' requirePermission='false' allowDefinition='MachineToApplication'/> </sectionGroup> </sectionGroup> </sectionGroup> </configSections> <location path='All_Products_Items.aspx'> <system.web> <authorization> <allow roles='DiconRead'/> <deny users='*'/> </authorization> </system.web> </location> <location path='Search_Date.aspx'> <system.web> <authorization> <allow roles='DiconRead'/> <deny users='*'/> </authorization> </system.web> </location> <location path='Search_Stores.aspx'> <system.web> <authorization> <allow roles='DiconRead'/> <deny users='*'/> </authorization> </system.web> </location> <location path='Administer_Records.aspx'> <system.web> <authorization> <allow roles='DiconWrite'/> <deny users='*'/> </authorization> </system.web> </location> <location path='Stores.aspx'> <system.web> <authorization> <allow roles='DiconWrite'/> <deny users='*'/> </authorization> </system.web> </location> <location path='All_Products_Items2.aspx'> <system.web> <authorization> <allow roles='DiconWrite'/> <deny users='*'/> </authorization> </system.web> </location> <location path='Search_Date2.aspx'> <system.web> <authorization> <allow roles='DiconWrite'/> <deny users='*'/> </authorization> </system.web> </location> <location path='Search_Stores2.aspx'> <system.web> <authorization> <allow roles='DiconWrite'/> <deny users='*'/> </authorization> </system.web> </location> <connectionStrings> <clear/> <remove name='LocalSqlServer'/> <add name='LocalSqlServer' connectionString='Data Source=tcp:sql2k506.discountasp.net;Initial Catalog=SQL2005_489160_romiwa;User ID=SQL2005_489160_romiwa_user;Password=*******;' providerName='System.Data.SqlClient' /> </connectionStrings> <!--<connectionStrings> <add name='DiconConnectionString' connectionString='Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\DIC.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True' providerName='System.Data.SqlClient' /> </connectionStrings>--> <system.web> <!-- Set compilation debug='true' to insert debugging symbols into the compiled page.
