Again, the error message tells you what the most likely cause is:

>> Parser Error Message: 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.

Generally that would indicate an issue with the configuration of the web server (IIS) and so, if you're hosting it locally I might suggest looking into your IIS settings and if it's being hosted on an external provider you might want to check with them about their settings.

On a related note... unless you have specific components of your ASP.Net program that require all those extra settings you really can trim your web.config down to bare basics. Mine is this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
	<system.web>
		<customErrors mode="Off"/>
		<compilation debug="true"/></system.web>
</configuration>

And the only segments I see of yours that appear in any way "vital" (or at the least, non-default) would be

<compilation debug="true"/>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm">
<error statusCode="403" redirect="NoAccess.htm" />
<error statusCode="404" redirect="FileNotFound.htm" />
</customErrors>

Of the ones I just listed the debug one can be removed once your application is live and has been debugged fully.
