Hi.
I have written 3 ASP.net MVC web applications, and all are deployed on shared hosting servers with my ISP.
All 3 applications are very similar in configuration and settings. The 1st application is deployed to a different server than the 2nd and 3rd. The 1st application gives me no errors.
The 2nd and 3rd applications spit out the following SecurityException somewhat: randomly:
Exception Text:
Security Exception
Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.
Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Configuration.ConfigurationPermission, System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' failed.
Source Error:

I get the above error the first time I hit the page after deploying or editing the web.config. However, on subsequent page reloads I don't get it. The 2 websites will be fine again for the rest of the day, but then the next morning I get the same error again.
The errors do appear consistently after I edit the web.config, which I am assuming is forcing a recompile?
Please help. I'm not sure what the problem is. Sounds like it is related to security settings in IIS. All 3 web apps are set up and deployed in a very similar way, except that the 1st web app which doesn't give the error is on a completely different server.
