I am making a project. In Which I added A Forum Also But in a directory.

forum Link :

JumpyForum: Inspired by Code Project Forum / Discussion / Message board[^]

Forum is working fine when it is alone.

But when i put it in my project It shows error ::

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.
E:\PROJECTS\Website1\Forum\Web.config 50

I am Using two web.config files one in my Project and anoter one in Forum directory. I searched in google and erased authorization , session , and authentication from Forum directory's web.config then i found a new error

The type or namespace name 'clsDataAccess' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Please Help me........!!!

You need to make the forum folder an application in IIS. Your web.configs are conflicting. There is also a <remove> tag you can try using <clear>. Search google or you can view http://aspdotnetfaq.com/Faq/how-to-disable-web-config-inheritance-for-child-applications-in-subfolders-in-asp-net.aspx[^]
