0	It may happen when the ASP.NET account (the account .NET uses to run web sites) does not have read access to your web.config file. check that. Thanks and Regards Madhu Naeem2049, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Hi, Follow these steps and try once 1. run Internet Information Service. 2. right-click on your virtual directory and then select Properties. 3. Choose Directory tab. 4. Near Application name textbox. click on the Create button. 5. Then set Execute Permissions to Scripts only.

0	Atleast i pointed you to the problem. You see every application my have its own web config , if you have application 1, then there must be a folder in application 1 and that should only have one web config so in that way they will not conflict. Refrain for adding an application files just anywhere. Please send me a screenshot of your directory structure and point out the number of web config's Thank you for posting at Dotnetfunda [Administrator] Naeem2049, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	ok i now see. To resolve this , you need to take the Configurations that are important for the "Administration" and "Website" and add then to the web config that is in the Root of the project. If you like, you can send me those web config's and i will help you combine them and delete the one's inside the individual folders and leave the one on the Root. if you are sending the web config's mark them for me so that i can know which one is which one.

0	Good morning i have looked at the Web configs you sent me and it was clear that you onlu needed one web config that is on the Root of your application. i have combined the web configs into one and i have attached it and you can backup the others and remove them from your application. I see you had two connection string that looked the same, so you only need one not more than one.
