I am trying to deploy an wcf web service to a sub directory on my web site (it is an web service that has nothing to do with my main site - my goal is to eventually replace my main site with dozens of web services that will serve data to my application front ends, but for now I just want to see that the web service works from DiscountASP). When I try to access the web service from a browser, I get an error message that there is a problem with the web.config file HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid. The interesting thing is that the lines that are referred to in the error message do not even exist in the web.config file that I copied into this sub directory. The error even refers to asp.net 3.5 although my web.config refers to 4.0 and I have changed my DiscountASP ASP.Net Version to 4.0 also. Could this have anything to do with an old site that is the root site (that I do not currently use)? Thanks in advance for any advice (comment - in general I am not very familiar with anything to do with web.config concepts. I am a programmer that usually only writes stored procedures - but am trying to use DiscountASP as a learning and testing environment).
Web.config automatically inherit to sub application. I am not sure if that's causing the error but it looks like it based on your description. See http://www.aspdotnetfaq.com/Faq/how...ld-applications-in-subfolders-in-asp-net.aspx on how to disable this.
