Hi,
I have created an asp.net web app in localhost and after publish it in run time I get this 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.
Source Error:

Hi,
I put the directory under a webSite where I have others web applications working fine.
Above directory is my app created. this is the complete structure in IIS.
-
TTR is the web site.
-
SheetWeb is the virtual directory.
-
2.00 is the application.
I publish it from vstudio 2008 at proyect > publish to a temp folder shared on the web server (not direct to wwwroot folder) then manually I copy from a remote desktop connection to the server the entire application to it's current wwwroot app. folder.
