Source Error Problem

[tester888]

Hi there! I am getting the following error, and am not quite sure how to deal with it. Can anyone help?
I'm using windows XP Pro with IIS

Parser Error Message: 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:


Line 2: <system.web>
Line 3:
Line 4: <authentication mode="Forms">
Line 5: <forms name="MyApp02" path="/" loginUrl="login.aspx"
Line 6: protection="All" timeout="30">


Source File: c:\inetpub\

http://wwwroot\securingapps\forms-based\web.config

Line: 4

Go into your IIS settings, right click the folder (under web sites) for your application, select properties and click create under the application settings section.
