Hi I have a web application and for some reason on only one of the links I
get a config error on the line in the web config file,<authentication
mode="Windows" />
This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an
application in IIS.
The link worked before so not sure what has changed.
Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions, thanks.
 
Have you confirmed that this web is indeed configured as an application in
IIS?
In IIS, find your web application folder, right click on it and go to
properties, click on the Create button if it's there. If the Remove button
is there instead, then it's already configured as an application, but you
might trying removing it and re-creating it to see if that fixes your error.
 
Not sure if the web in IIS is config as an app. Sounds like a good place to
start.
thanks, Paul.
