web.config and login

[davikokar]

hallo,
I have a very simple application: three aspx pages. One is the login, one is a page everyone can see and the third one is a restricted page.
In my local server everything works fine if I don't add the web.config file. When I add the web.config I get an error of wrong configuration: "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."
If I upload the files to the real server this error shouldn't occur anymore, but I still get an error (not shown because of security reason), even if I set the customerror to "off" in the web.config.
I really don't know what is going on:

This is the code of the web.config:

 <configuration>
   <system.web>
     <authentication mode="Forms">
       <forms name="AuthCookie" loginUrl="login.aspx" />
     </authentication>
     <authorization>
       <deny users="?" />
     </authorization>
   </system.web>
 </configuration>

Can you see something wrong? thanks

And have you configured the virtual directory?

Maybe a wrong configuration of the virtual directory could explain the error when I try to run the application locally, but would it make a difference for the online version? Also when I upload the files I get an error and I'm not sure on what this could be.
