i got error in web.config

First Question is How many web config do you have?

In your Application directory if you move to the directory that is the parent of your directory do you have a web config liying around there ?

Generally if you have web.config more than once, every virtual directory web.config will override the parent one.
You should define only the part of the application Settings in the web.config to child directories. Dont use application specific sections.

Application Specific sections should be configured only once in the home directory of the Application.

You must have only one Web Config, remove other web config that you dont need and build your application again and see if there is any error.

Hi,

It seems, you are having multiple web.config files in root folder. You can have multiple web.config file in your application, but in a particular folder there should only one web.config file.

The reason for multiple web config files is not clear here. If your intention is to have different modules in a website. You can add separate websites in a single solution project. In that case you can have multiple web.config files to separate each module level configurations.

Mark this as answer, if it is.....

Nishithraj,

Using multiple web.config in a single application is a common scenarios. You can have multiple folder in your web application and each folder can have different web pages. If you want to set some restriction on specific pages for some user or anything else which are located in separate folder, you can use web.config for child folder as well.

Here is one small example you can just have a look,

Please let me know if you need more information.
