Hello,

I just had the admins on a server put the 2.0 framework on it.  I put my site on that server, and I'm getting this error, but why?:

Configuration Error

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'xmlns'.

Source Error:

Line 12:     <section name="securityConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security.Configuration.SecuritySettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Security, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" />

What ASP.NET version is the site running as? From that exception, it sounds like 1.x.

1.1 and 2.0 are installed.  I'm using the same virtual directory for this 2.0 application that I did in 1.1; is there something I need to do with IIS or something?

The virtual directory that the .NET 2.0 application is in will need to be set to ASP.NET 2.0 on the ASP.NET tab on the virtual directories properties in IIS, and it will also need to run in a separate application pool from .NET 1.x applications.

HTH,
Ryan

The default settings for a new application pool should be sufficient.

Ryan

I got past it, thanks.

Hi,

 I have tried all of this including changing the version setting in the ASP.NET tab against the directory in IIS and assigning the app to it's own Application Pool separate from any other apps. However I still get the same error message...is there anything else that could cause this?

Going crazy!

I am also experiencing the same issue.

A week ago, I installed 2.0 Framework on dev webserver that already had 1.1 on it.

Deployed my new 2.0 application, set IIS to ASP.NET 2.0 and everything worked fine.

Just today, started getting errors. First was this error: Unrecognized Attribute 'xmlns'

I noticed from the error page that it was using the 1.1 Framework even though IIS says 2.0.

I ran aspnet_regiis -i and that moved me past this error on to:

allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level

Ironically, I also have already followed the steps mentioned above, in removing the Application, recreating the Application using it's own application pool.

I will post back once I determine the final solution.

Okay. Luckily this was a dev server so it wasn't high priority. Whew. Production continued to work fine.

It was setting the website as an application in IIS. Duh.

Which of course I had already done. The problem was due to the fact that my predecessor had set the server up under two different websites. One with an alias "intranetdev" and the other with the machine name. The intranetdev was working, but the machine name wasn't. I finally discovered this and that's what led me to the immediate solution. Of course, now, I will be verifying with my predecessor (luckily they're still around) and figure out why they heck they set up two websites.
