web.config file

[AndyApp]

The server i'm testing my asp.net application is giving telling me I need to create a web.config file and put it in the root directory.

I've done this, in fact i've put the file in every directory I can get to on the server, but it's still telling me I need to create the file!

I've done it manually and created a .NET application in visual studio.NET environment and edited the web.config file it creates but to no avail.

Can someone please tell me where i'm going wrong?

i apologise if you've already done it but have you set the root folder on the server as an application with IIS?

If by that you mean clicked Create under Application Settings then yes. I've done that. It's turned to a blue box that's open, both of the directories are the same.

I meant in the Internet Information Services manager on the server
