ASP.net application error

dotnet academic: Hi folks,

I got a strange error message on an IIS 6 Win 2003 server.

The error is the following : 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.

The strange thing is I got 1 ASP.net application running on this server for
moths and sudenly stopped to work. I cannot make it work anymore, I received
the errormessage above. I have tried to recreate the website in IIS and I
made sure the ASP.net site was created as an application.

Also I have reinstalled asp.net from the command prompt but did not help
either.

Any ideas what else I could do to fix this problem?

Thnaks

Laszlo

This typically happens if your virtual directory isn't correct. Use inetmgr
to repair the virtual directory mappings
