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 Error: 

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.

It looks like you have simply created a folder called jsonwebservice and put your code inside it. Unfortunately you can't nest websites like this. jsonwebservice is not seen as its own site, it is seen as a folder inside the parent site, so when you put your web.config in that folder it isn't allowed as the web.config needs to be at the root of the site.

You need to configure your jsonwebservice folder as being a Virtual Directory (you can do this via the IIS admin tool), that tells IIS that the folder is indeed a nested site and not just a sub-folder of the main site.

You'd need to configure it as an application; a virtual directory won't do it.

I meant if you wanted to keep it as a sub item of the main site.

Richard Deeming 6-Jul-17 9:25am

The error message in the question says the section can't be used beyond the application level. It even goes so far as to say:
"This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."

Moving the folder out of the site and adding a virtual directory for it won't fix that.

The solution is to make the folder an application.

It's been a while since I made one, so you could be right.

how should i do that?

Open IIS Manager. Navigate to the folder. Right-click, and select "Convert to application".

If you don't have access to IIS manager, then you'll need to follow the procedure for whatever tools your hosting company provide. If you can't find it, you'll need to ask them.

there is an application section, when I select JSONWebService folder and then Click on convert it shows an error message like this:

Sounds like you don't have permission to make any changes to the IIS configuration.

You'll need to talk to whoever manages the server to sort this out.

should Ichange my hosting?

F-ES Sitecore 6-Jul-17 10:12am

If your site is on a web host they probably don't allow this kind of thing as it effectively allows you to "sublet" your web space.

Richard Deeming 6-Jul-17 10:13am

That seems a bit drastic! Try talking to them first. :)

Atiiiii 6-Jul-17 10:20am

Do you know any website that would Offer a simple free hosting that doesn't have this problem?I have deadline for completing my project and I really need to this part quik!

Richard Deeming 6-Jul-17 10:25am

I've never needed to use one.

Apparently, Azure[^] lets you "host 10 ASP.NET web sites for free", but I'm not sure whether that will do what you need.

Otherwise, you'll need to resort to Google.

But I'd still be inclined to talk to your current provider first. It's possibly a simple problem for them to fix, which would save the hassle of moving to a new provider.

thank you very much :)
