    Hi gang,

    I get the following error on my screen :


    An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again.

    The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: System.ArgumentException: The parameter 'PhysicalDirectory' is invalid. Parameter name: PhysicalDirectory at System.Web.Configuration.VirtualDirectoryMapping.set_PhysicalDirectory(String value) at System.Web.Configuration.VirtualDirectoryMapping..ctor(String physicalDirectory, Boolean isAppRoot) at System.Web.Administration.WebAdminPage.OpenWebConfiguration(String path, String appPhysPath, Boolean getWebConfigForSubDir) at System.Web.Administration.WebAdminPage.OpenWebConfiguration(String path, Boolean getWebConfigForSubDir) at System.Web.Administration.WebAdminPage.VerifyAppValid()

    I need to know what the problem is, it seems like something needs to be added in the web.config but i cant find what, when i start up a project in VS2005 and run the WSAT it works like a charm

    Anyone ?

     p.s. i already configured the db with the SQL Registration tool...

    Foo Bar this
