I have an existing website setup and working (kentico 10), I want to add Web API to it using a virtual directory.
I setup the web api project and it works when I map IIS to it as a normal site. However when I map the folder as a virtual directory and convert to application into my kentico site I get errors. What I dont understand is why I am getting errors originating from the kentico web config and not the new web api web.config/service:
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.
Compiler Error Message: CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Web' does not exist in the namespace 'CMS.Base' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Source Error:
Line 47: <namespaces>
Line 48: <add namespace="CMS.Helpers" />
Line 49: <add namespace="CMS.Base.Web.UI" />
Line 50: </namespaces>
Line 51: </pages>
I did try adding these DLLs into the bin of the web api project which stopped this error but I couldnt retrieve data as expected from kentico in the web-api project.
Thanks
Whenever you create an application within a website in IIS, the parent web.config will be inherited by the sub applications very similar to how a main website inherits the "global" web.config. Maybe not all of the nodes will be inherited but a lot of them will be.
So what you'll want to do is add (i.e.: <remove name="WebDAVModule" />) nodes to areas in which you want to remove namespaces or such in your newly created sub application's web.config. I cannot say specifically which nodes will need to have those nodes applied but trial and error should help. If you follow the errors that come on-screen, they should help with adding those nodes in your child web.config.

Maybe this question is too broad but it has wasted a lot of time and I can't find out a solution for that. So I decided to share my problem for any idea.
I have a ASP.NET Web Form project that has a web page (.aspx) including one tag like this:
<iframe runat="server" src="API URL"></iframe>
By running the project I get following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Autofac.Integration.Web' or one of
its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of
the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more
information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load
file or assembly 'Autofac.Integration.Web' or one of its dependencies.
The system cannot find the file specified.
If I remove this tag, I don't have any error.
In fact, a couple of days before I added Autofac and it added following tags to my web config:
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<add name="ContainerDisposal" type="Autofac.Integration.Web.ContainerDisposalModule, Autofac.Integration.Web" preCondition="managedHandler"/>
<add name="PropertyInjection" type="Autofac.Integration.Web.Forms.PropertyInjectionModule, Autofac.Integration.Web" preCondition="managedHandler"/>
</modules>
When I am removing these add tags, I have no error. I don't know why these tags have negative impact on calling the API.
Another point, which it probably could be important, is API includes Hangfire. But as far as I know, there isn't any reference from Autofac in API.
Edit
The Web API is located in sub folder of Web form application in a operational server like this:
Web Form Application:
> bin
> web.config
> Web API
> bin
> web.config
As you can see, Web form application web.config affects on Web API because of location of the Web API. Due to some reasons, I can't change the locations.
I have seen many topics and articles about it, but they didn't give me a clue.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Here's my problem. I'm installing a module that the company I work for developed in a version 5.0.4 DotNetNuke installation.
The .dnn manifest file has a nodes section that includes this add
<node path="/configuration/system.webServer/handlers"
action="update" key="name" collision="overwrite">
<add name="svc-Integrated" verb="*" path="*.svc"
type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpHandler, System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=1111111111111111" resourceType="Unspecified"
preCondition="integratedMode"/>
</node>
The web.config for the DNN application does not already have this add in the configuration/system.webServer/handlers section so it adds it to the web.config.
Then when trying to load the web site, I get an error saying:
Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with
unique key attribute 'name' set to 'svc-Integrated'
I've spent some time looking for where this duplicate entry for svc-Integrated could be coming from, and finally found out to look in IIS at the Web Site the DNN web application is under. It has a section for Handler Mappings, and the svc-Integrated tag is in there for the web site, with an Entry Type of Inherited.
I'm trying to find out where the svc-Integrated handler is being inherited from.
Edit: I've looked through c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG at the machine.config and web.config files, and there are no entries at all that say "svc-Integrated" for the name. I tried looking in the Framework64 folder and the v4.* folder under each at the machine.config and web.config and there are no svc-Integrated in ANY of those locations, so I don't have the slightest clue where IIS is getting this handler definition from :(
When the Handler has an Entry Type of Inherited, you can find out where it is inherited from by going one level up in the Connections panel on the left-hand side of Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, and double-clicking on Handler Mappings in the Server Components group. Find the same Handler on that level, and see if it is inherited from another level up, or if it is local to that level.
I found out that the handler mappings for the machine in IIS7 were coming from "C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config"
[This article] on technet.microsoft.com helped me find the config file for the level I found the local entry at, and also explains the configuration inheritance levels.
Machine.config. This file is located in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\framework_version\CONFIG.
Root Web.config for the .NET Framework. This file is located in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\framework_version\CONFIG.
ApplicationHost.config. This file is located in %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config.
That's where I found the svc-Integrated config entry I was trying to find.
I ended up just right clicking on the svc-Integrated handler mapping in my application's Handler Mappings and clicking Remove. This fixed the conflict my application was having with trying to overwrite the handler mapping.
Greeting,
I developed a website using ASP.Net 3.5 and C#. It is working good with Visual Stdio 2010.
I uploaded my website to my domain under the public folder.
First time I lunched my website for testing (http://wecoders.com/Habib_cuizine/Gallery.aspx)
I would revive (Server Error in '/' Application.)
Runtime Error Description: An
application error occurred on the
server. The current custom error
settings for this application prevent
the details of the application error
from being viewed remotely (for
security reasons). It could, however,
be viewed by browsers running on the
local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this
specific error message to be viewable
on remote machines, please create a
tag within a
"web.config" configuration file
located in the root directory of the
current web application. This
tag should then have
its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
>
> <configuration>
> <system.web>
> <customErrors mode="Off"/>
> </system.web> </configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are
seeing can be replaced by a custom
error page by modifying the
"defaultRedirect" attribute of the
application's
configuration tag to point to a custom
error page URL.
> <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
>
> <configuration>
> <system.web>
> <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"
> defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
> </system.web> </configuration>
To fix this error I added to the webConfig file inside tag:
> <customErrors mode="Off"/>
After that when I lunch the website I would receive a new error as listed bellow:
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.
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 File: \10.0.40.35\wecoders.com\public\habib_cuizine\web.config Line: 37
Please advice how to fix this error and how configure my website which developed using Visual Stdio 2010 to be published in the internet.
Regards,
The key information in this error is this line:
This error can be caused by a virtual
directory not being configured as an
application in IIS.
In IIS, you can have several applications, but they must be configured as an application. Generally, when you create a web project it maps directly to an IIS application.
Check with your hosting service on how to create an IIS application for your web app.
Edit - added
If this is on your server, you can set this up yourself following the instructions in #Frazell Thomas's answer. He beat me to finding that link. To save yourself some reading, you should be able to focus in on the Creating Virtual Directories and Local Web Sites section.
right-click virtual directory (e.g. MyVirtualDirectory)
click convert to application.
Have you configured the virtual directory as an ASP.NET application for the right framework version?
See IIS Setup
Look at these two excerpts:
I uploaded my website to my domain under the public folder.
and
This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
It's pretty clear to me that you did exactly what you said you did, and no more, i.e. you transfered the files to the web server, but nothing else. You need to configure that public folder as a virtual directory in IIS as the error is telling you, or it's just not going to work.
Looks like you have <authentication mode="Windows" /> in your web.config file but your hosting provider won't let you use that. Just remove that line.
I got the same problem and my solution was to remove webconfig file from the directory.. then it works..
http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t123353-configuration-error.html
If you want to use inetpub/wwwroot/aspnet as your application, remove this
line :
Line 26:
and any other lines which define MachineToApplication beyond application
level
If you want to use d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet\begin\chapter02\ as your
application,
create an IIS Application which points to
d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet\begin\chapter02\
maybe you can refer link above.
For my application, my web.config store in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet\begin\chapter02\
and when i move the web.config to d:\inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet and the problem is solve.
Please check also does your application have two web.config file.
Looks like this is a very generic message from iis.
in my case we enabled integrated security on web config but forgot to change IIS app pool identity.
Things to check -
go to event viewer on your server and check exact message.
-make sure your app pool and web config using same security(E.g Windows,integrated)
Note: this may not help every time but this might be one of the reason for above error message.
I have the same issue, my application was running on amazon vps, lately i found that bin folder had multiple copies of dll's ...
After removing those copies of dlls like entityframework(copy1).dll, errors were gone....
May be some one will get help...cheers
Removing the web.config-file from the IIS Directory Folder solves the problem.
Try removing the contents of the <compilers> tag in the web.config file. Depending on who you're hosting with, some don't allow the compiler in production.
Your application is trying to compile when it is called and their servers won't allow it.
This wont necessarily fix the problem...but it will tell you what the real problem is. Its currently trying to use a custom error page that doesn't exist.
If you add this line to Web.config (under system.web tag) it should give you the real error.
<system.web>
<!-- added line -->
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<!-- added line -->
</system.web>
If your project is linq with Sql Database.
Then Simply Check your System Services and Start sql Server Agent Service.
Now your problem is solved.
Just check connectivity between SQL And your App (if you used SQL)

What is the reason and how to resolve it?
Please help
You may get this error when trying to browse an ASP.NET application.
The debug information shows that "This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."
However, this error occurs primarily out of two scenarios.
When you create an new web application using Visual Studio .NET, it automatically creates the virtual directory and configures it as an application. However, if you manually create the virtual directory and it is not configured as an application, then you will not be able to browse the application and may get the above error. The debug information you get as mentioned above, is applicable to this scenario.
To resolve it, right click on the virtual directory - select properties and then click on
"Create" next to the "Application" Label and the text box. It will automatically create the "application" using the virtual directory's name. Now the application can be accessed.
When you have sub-directories in your application, you can have web.config file for the sub-directory. However, there are certain properties which cannot be set in the web.config of the sub-directory such as authentication, session state (you may see that the error message shows the line number where the authentication or session state is declared in the web.config of the sub-directory). The reason is, these settings cannot be overridden at the sub-directory level unless the sub-directory is also configured as an application (as mentioned in the above point).
Mostly, we have the practice of adding web.config in the sub-directory if we want to protect access to the sub-directory files (say, the directory is admin and we wish to protect the admin pages from unauthorized users).
I had this error when the .NET version was wrong - make sure the site is configured to the one you need.
See aspnet_regiis.exe for details.
I had this error with VS 2015, in my case going to the project properties page, Web tab, and clicking on Create Virtual Directory button in Servers section solved it
It sounds like the admin has locked the "authentication" node of the web.config, which one can do in the global web.config pretty easily. Or, in a nutshell, this is working as designed.
I just had the same issue on visual studio 2012. For a internet application project.
How to resolve “Server Error in '/' Application” error?
Searching for answer I came across this post, but none of these answer help me.
Than I found another post here on stackoverflow that has the answer for resolving this issue.
Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: site
When you create an new web application using visual studio.net, it automatically creates the virtual directory and configures it as an application. However, if you manually create the virtual directory and it is not configured as an application, then you will not be able to browse the application and may get the above error.
I also got this error when I moved an entity framework edmx file into a "Models" sub-folder. This automatically changed the metadata in my connection string setting in my app.config.
So before the connection string changed... it looked something like this:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyDbEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/MyDb.csdl|res://*/MyDb.ssdl|res://*/MyDb.msl; ...
</connectionStrings>
And after... it added the "Models" subfolder name (btw... it also added "Models" to the namespace for the EF classes generated) and the connection string now looks something like this:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MyDbEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.MyDb.csdl|res://*/Models.MyDb.ssdl|res://*/Models.MyDb.msl; ...
</connectionStrings>
I have a website project that references this Entity Framework DB project. But its web.config did not have the updates to the connection string... and that's when I started getting the compilation error being discussed here.
To fix this error, I updated the connection string in the web.config in the website project to match the app.config in my EntityFramework project.
vs2017 just added in these lines to csproj.user file
<IISExpressAnonymousAuthentication>enabled</IISExpressAnonymousAuthentication>
<IISExpressWindowsAuthentication>enabled</IISExpressWindowsAuthentication>
<IISExpressUseClassicPipelineMode>false</IISExpressUseClassicPipelineMode>
with these lines in Web.config
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5" />
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5" maxRequestLength="1048576" />
<identity impersonate="false" />
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<authorization>
<allow users="yourNTusername" />
<deny users="?" />
</authorization>
And it worked
I opened the Properties window for the website project in question and changed Windows Authentication to "Enabled" and that resolved my issue in VS 2019.
The error message is quite clear: you have a configuration element in a web.config file in a subfolder of your web app that is not allowed at that level - OR you forgot to configure your web application as IIS application.
Example: you try to override application level settings like forms authentication parameters in a web.config in a subfolder of your application
