your first post seemed to have you pointing in the right direction, and the error message tells you what you need to do. If you do not have access to the server directly then you need to ask the server admin to configure your folder as an application in IIS.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb763173.aspx

Your second post seems to indicate that ASP.NET AJAX may not be installed on the server, in which case you have 2 choices.
1. develop the app without ajax (in which case remove the ajax elements from your config file as this will stop your error message)
2. ask the server admin to install asp.net ajax http://www.asp.net/ajax/documentation/live/InstallingASPNETAJAX.aspx

Basic web.config created in VS2005 looks like this, so you can remove what you dont need from your own file by comparing it

when i put all the files in the main root folder (i.e. NOT in any folder), i get this message:

http://itsuite.it.bton.ac.uk/jmp8/

my project works fine when running on my local pc in visual web developer

julseypart 0 Light Poster · Answer 2 · 2009-01-16T15:14:24+00:00

thanks, i would like to remove the appropriate elements but not sure what to remove, when i comment out the problem line:

<add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

it causes another error message - i dont know why ajax is an issue as im not using it - or do some of the asp.net controls use it?
