Hello All,

I know some of ASP.net but now I am finally getting ready to set up a web page.

Here is my error message:

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: Configuration file 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config' does not contain a root <configuration> tag.

I am under some time pressure to learn this on the fly and yes I am burnign some midnight oil on my own.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Kurt

HI, YOUR CONFIGURATION PLACEMENT WAS WRONG. HERE I MODIFIED YOUR CONFIG FILE. HAVE A LOOK:

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <?xml version="1.0"?>
  2. <configuration>
  3. 	<appSettings>
  4. 	</appSettings>
  5. <connectionStrings>
  6. 	<add name="appConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=dev2005\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=NWNET;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
  7. </connectionStrings>
  8. <system.web> 
  9. <globalization culture="en-GB"/>
  10. <httpHandlers>
  11. <add path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" verb="*" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" validate="false" /></httpHandlers> 
  12. <compilation debug="true" strict="false" explicit="true">
  13. 	<buildProviders> 
  14. <add extension=".rdlc" type="Microsoft.Reporting.RdlBuildProvider, Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" /></buildProviders> 
  15. </compilation>
  16. 	<pages maintainScrollPositionOnPostBack ="true"> 
  17. <namespaces>
  18. 	<clear/> 
  19. <add namespace="System"/>
  20. 	<add namespace="System.Collections"/> 
  21. <add namespace="System.Collections.Specialized"/>
  22. 	<add namespace="System.Configuration"/> 
  23. <add namespace="System.Text"/>
  24. 	<add namespace="System.Text.RegularExpressions"/> 
  25. <add namespace="System.Web"/>
  26. 	<add namespace="System.Web.Caching"/> 
  27. <add namespace="System.Web.SessionState"/>
  28. 	<add namespace="System.Web.Security"/> 
  29. <add namespace="System.Web.Profile"/>
  30. 	<add namespace="System.Web.UI"/> 
  31. <add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls"/>
  32. 	<add namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts"/> 
  33. <add namespace="System.Web.UI.HtmlControls"/>

Thanks for your reply.

This is the error I am now getting.

I am sorry if it seems like I am a klutz but once I get it, I have it for life!

TRY BY MODIFYING IN THE BELOW WAY:
ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <add name="appConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=NWNET;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

HOPE IT WILL RESOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.

Hello Saion and all,

I changed to version ASP.net 2.0 per your suggestion.

I now get this error

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: Unexpected XML declaration. The XML declaration must be the first node in the document, and no white space characters are allowed to appear before it. Line 44, position 19.

Source Error:


Line 42: <identity impersonate="true"/>
Line 43: </system.web>
Line 44: </configuration><?xml version="1.0"?>
Line 45: <configuration>
Line 46: <appSettings>


Source File: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config Line: 44

I really need some help on this ASAP please. This is starting to drive me nutty.

Thanks,

Kurt

HEY WHY YOU PLACE THE
ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <?xml version="1.0"?>
after configuration section. Remove this & it will be the first line. Look at your first post. Why you modified?

I think everything will be just cut the above line & paste it as a first line. If problem doesn't resolve then post whole web.config file. Dont forget to remove your secure information like password/servername etc.

Let me know your status.

Hello,

What i am thinking if this is the same problem then you got the solution

<configuration>
<configSections>

put the above immediately after this line <?xml version="1.0"?>

thanks

Error message 401.2.: Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server configuration. Verify that you have permission to view this directory or page based on the credentials you supplied and the authentication methods enabled on the Web server. Contact the Web server's administrator for additional assistance.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42

I have made sure all the services are started and the web pages aer copied in a folder in WWWRoot.

What am I doing wrong here?

I need help very quickly with this. I do appreciate everyone's time on this so far especially Saion's. If anyone has an idea please let me know.

Thanks,

Kurt
