Visual Web Developer - Configuration Error

Help,

I am new to VWD, I have had this error message.

Server Error in '/' Application.
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.

What do I need to do?

Thanks.

 

It's a common error message, without additional info this one is hard to diagnose.

However:
1) Are you actually using Forms authentication?
2) Can the file being referenced for the Forms authentication be found?
i.e. If you're possibly using the root "~" identifier for this form.

If you can't find the problem run a few searches with my Google asp.net Search CoOp:

The only reason I have changed it to Forms authentication is because it wouldn't allow windows authentication.

I haven't even got anything on the page yet apart from some HTML text.

 

In that case just remove it for now.

 

It's ok, i have solved the problem.


I had my site in a sub folder, now I have removed that sub folder and put it in the main one it seems to work ok.


Thanks everyone for your help.
