Check out with follwing solution:
Delete the bin and obj folders, run a Clean Solution and built it again, the error goes away.
check the Application Pool the site is running under to make sure the Application Pool is using the .NET 4.0 Framework (instead of .NET 2.0 Framework).

It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application leve

Have tried to publish an MVC app through visual studio to an IIS server.
When trying to run it i am getting the error:

there are a lot of articles around this but can't seem to work it out.
I have read that when deploying through visual studio it deploys it as a web app so no need to convert, well actually can't find the option to even do it.
The web.config is in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp\ and can't see any others in the views or other sub folders.
really stuck on this!

Go to your IIS management console, find the directory called site under the Default Web Site (which is under the Sites node), right click on site and choose Convert to Application.

Please help
Thanks in advance
If you have added this application to the sites in IIS then please for the development period change <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" /> to <compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0" /> because IIS doesnot support debugging and in the Advanced Settings of the site in IIS be sure to change Application Pool to ASP.NETv4.0 and you will be done.

Publishing website on IIS error

The answer to the first issue was this:
This usually means you have not configured the directory for your website as an application. Open up IIS Manager, find the root directory for your website (where web.config is), right click, and select "Convert to Application".
For the new issue, it's a problem of the .NET version. You either don't have asp.net 4.0 installed, or you have the application pool set to use the wrong framework. It's probably the latter, so go to the advanced setting for your site, select the Application Pool setting, and choose an Application Pool called ASP.NET 4.0, or any other that uses the 4.0 framework. If there aren't any, then you need to install .NET 4.0
Did you check if you have multiple web.configs in a sub directory somewhere?

viewing site from server

ok i'm trying to put my asp.net website onto my university's web server but when visiting my webpage I get the following problem:
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as

caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

Source File: F:\users\1010033\co5027\web.config Line: 15
I can't get this working at all. I presume it's to do with the user security and roles I set up in Visual Studio but I have no idea about what to do to fix the problem. Bear in mind I don't have access to ISS as that is all set up by the university.
I have a second web.config file in a folder called AdminSecured in my root folder which holds all the secured pages.
Any ideas?
You need set up your virtual directory in the control panel of your hosting.
I've only seen this if you haven't set your site as an Application in IIS or if you have two web.configs on the root.
