asp.net error

I have prepared a .NET site on one machine, but when I
try to move it to the server, I have problems. If I use a
default.htm file, there is no problem. But with an
aspx.htm file I get an error from the authentication
section of the webconfig file. The error reads, "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 configureed as an appliccation in IIS."
As nearly as I can tell, IIS is set up identically on
both machines. Any ideas?

Thanks

Is the folder you moved the application into set as an Application Root?

(in the IIS MMC Snapin, right-click on the folder. On the "Home Directory"
tab, is there an application name listed?0

Cheers
Ken

Hello,

Have you created an application on the web server? Right click the root
folder in IIS Manager, and click Properties. Then on the Directory tab,
click the Create button.
