I think the eroor is rather weird because I use Windows Xp Home Edition and I don't have IIS installed. As you can see the error occured when I was trying to open the map of the PortalVBVS exemple in the Cassini webserver.

Is the web.config file in the application root?

There are two things I noticed. First, is that the path to your web.config file contains two directories of the same name:
SourceFile: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot$\PortalVBVS\PortalVBVS\web.config
This is odd. I usually see that when someone adds the project to Source Code Control in Visual SourceSafe. Make sure that you do not have a web.config in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot$\PortalVBVS\, and that the root of your web is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot$\PortalVBVS\PortalVBVS as you expect.

The second thing I notice is that the parser error message says "...error can be caused by a virtual map not being configurated as application in IIS. " Which means that the physical location of your application may not be marked as an application by IIS. This is probably related to the first issue of directory locations. Most likely you have created a web application at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\PortalVBVS\, but your web root is at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot$\PortalVBVS\PortalVBVS. This conflict must be resolved. You must make sure that IIS Manager has the appropriate virtual directory created for your web.

I am trying to follow what you say, although I don't know much about it. (and I won't learn much about it either if it doesn't work).
1 I do not use sourcesafe.
2 I created the directory wrong (my fault) but it generates (practically) the same error when there is only one directory of the same name.
3. I did not have a web.config in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot$\PortalVBVS\
4. I don't have IIS, I don't know how to work with IIS, and I know I can't work with IIS because I have Xp Home.
5. Accordingly I can't configure IIS

I am using Cassini and I don't know how to configure a virtual root/map in Cassini nor VB.Net. I had Frontpage nor server extensions ever installed.

So my problem remains the same. I do have another question to ask: what is a virtual/web root/map? I see thetermin the errors, in replies from the forum, though Cassini (which should make up for IIS in XP Home-edition) never says a thing about it.

However it didn't help, I thank you greatly for your reply, Which shows my problem is taken (kind of) seriously

You need to ensure that:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot$\PortalVBVS\PortalVBVS\
is set at the Physical Path in cassini for everything to work.

HTH

i have a similar error as reinaut.

My teacher has given us some solutions of asp.net excersises, but i can't watch them in internet explorer at home.

this is the error:

anyone who knows what i should do?

If you are running the application in IIS then your should make sure your web root is configured as an application in IIS.  Run IIS Manager, create a new Virtual Directory with the physical location C:\Studenten\aspnet\oef1\oef1a.

Thanx, it works

 

Solution: Go to  IIS and Right click on virtual folder & sub folder ( If you have sub webs) -> properties ->configuration -> click on create.It will solve your problem. byeRam

 

One thing to try when you get the dreaded "machine to config" error, is to copy the web site folder to the root of a drive, and run it from there. I have seen issues in the past where someone was creating a web project, and it saved ot to their profile folder by default, and this issue arose. Moving the folder to the root of another disk worked, and showed that somewhere up in the hierarchy of folder, was anoter web config file.
