I moved this page and the contents of my root from one server to another and when I try to load the following page I get the error below. Any ideas?

Your site is not properly configured in IIS.

You need to set your site as an application in ISS.

Here are instructions for IIS 6. Even if you're using a different version, this will put you on the right track.

  • Your answer is too general, is like an answer saying "you have a problem that you need to configure it and fix it". Actually the site is parce the web.config, and gives an error, so its setup as asp.net application ! (so you are not correct on that) Proof : check the page http://mockcourt.org.uk/mcc gives the asp.net error, so its run as asp,net application. – Aristos Jun 11 '12 at 12:39
  • @Aristos, I disagree completely. The error even indicates that the site is not configured as an application in IIS. I've been developing in .net for many years, and have gotten this error many times. This is **one** possible solution. – James Hill Jun 11 '12 at 12:50
  • Yes it is configure it, in the upper directory. If you developing sites for many years you should direct recognize that this is a share environment and he has not control on iis, and the shared space that they give him have the asp.net ! so the issue here is the directory, have not place them in the correct directory ! – Aristos Jun 11 '12 at 13:20

You have move your site in a directory that is NOT the root of this asp.net application.

Is still configured to run asp.net, but you have place all your files on a sub directory and not on root.

So two thinks you can do, place the files on the correct root directory, or if you need to run this together with the other application on the root create a new asp.net application on the directory that you have added.

from your log probably this is where you must put them : E:\Domains\m\mockcourt.org.uk\user\htdocs\ and NOT this directory "E:\Domains\m\mockcourt.org.uk\user\htdocs\mcc\", check the rest directories to find the correct one.
