Re: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level

That looks correct.

Is you application root folder configured as an application in IIS?

Yes, i am trying to get a subfolder rpotected by adding:
<location path="crm">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
The actual folder crm is not configured as an application. If i
configure it as an application visual studio throughs it out. What is
the correct procedure to do so? And if i configure it as an applicatio
how would i include it in the project?

which element are you trying to add to the sub folder -
<authorization> ?? that works

Is your base folder configured as an application??

I have an application with some subfolders that i am trying to
protect. When i configure the web.config to secure that folder, i
get the dreaded, "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."

On my testing server it works fine, on the live server it doesnt. I
cannot make the subdirectory an application. On the live server i
dont have acess to iis. And besides not having acess making the
folder an application kinda defeats the purpose of having forms
authentication in the first place. What's the point of having forms
authentication when you cannot secure sub folders.

Any help?
