What correction i hve to make to correct this error

Answer 1

Did you create a virtual application for your site in IIS?

Answer 2

This has to do with your Application Setup in IIS

You need to mark the virtual directory as an Application.

for IIS 6,

• Right click the virtual directory containing your application,
• go to properties
• go to the Virtual Directory Tab
• Application Settings Section
• Click "Create" Default Application

Answer 3

I reckon the clue is in the error message:

"This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."

You need to configure the virtual directory as an application in IIS.
