Web.Config Files

[Obinna]

Why is it that if I try adding a web.config file to my ASP.NET
application when creating the web application from outside the DOTNET
environment, the browser reports an error when any page is loaded? Is
there a configuration to be made to the web folder? Or to any of the
web files?

IIS looks for web.config in folder where current page is executed. settigns
there are merged to all parent folders and machine.config. There is no
matter where is created web.config.Only matters where is located.

your error is probably caused by bad written web.config file

Hope this helps

Actually (per Galin) all IIS does is pass of each request to the
ASPNET_Isapi.dll Filter and it is really the ASPNET process that decides how
to handle anything with a .config extension, not IIS. IIS itself doesn't
know what a "web.config" file is - it knows only that it's script mappings
say it's supposed to forward these to ASP.NET.

Galin, thing is when this Web.config file is the same one that was
written for me in the visual studio environment.. I just copied it out,
so it definitly doesn't have any errors, There must be some other
reason.
