Dear All,

I downloaded the dashCommerce starter kit and when I try to run it I get the error: "  Error 1 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 configured as an application in IIS. C:\Documents and Settings\subhranil\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites\dashCommerce 3.0 Beta\Web\Web.config  "

Then I created a IIS website and copied the files from this to the IIS website.But I when I tried to run it again I get the same error again.

1) Why do I get this error and how to get rid of this error?

Thanks,.

You probably just need to mark the website as a web application. Try this: To mark an existing virtual directory in Inetpub\Wwwroot as a Web application using IIS Open IIS Manager and browse to the Default Web Site as shown in the previous procedures. Expand the Default Web Site node and look for the subdirectory that you want to designate as an application root. For this example, this is exampleWebApp. If IIS Manager was already open when you created the physical directory, you might have to click the Refresh button in IIS Manager to view your new exampleWebApp subdirectory. Right-click the directory that you want to mark as an application root, and then click Properties. On the Directory tab, in the Application Settings section, click Create. In the Application name text box, type the name of the application, and then click OK. The virtual directory is now an application root. Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I tried it but it doesn't work.

Have you tried it yourself? If you get success after trying it pls let me know.

Thanks.
