  It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level Reply Contact  Hi, I'm getting this error message and I'm not sure why. I only get the error in Visual Studio, I can access the website and login just fine. The directory is configured as an application in IIS, but it isn't the root directory, it is a sub directory. My web.config file looks like this. <configuration>   <system.web>     <authentication mode="Forms">       <forms name="instructor" loginUrl="/instructor/login.aspx" path="/instructor" protection="All" timeout="30"></forms>     </authentication>     <authorization>       <deny users="?"/>       <allow users="*"/>     </authorization>   </system.web> </configuration> Any ideas why? Thanks.
