This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the section is locked at a parent level. Locking is either by default (overrideModeDefault="Deny"), or set explicitly by a location tag with overrideMode="Deny" or the legacy allowOverride="false". 

Hi all,

I am getting the above error message.

I am using: mojoportal-2-3-6-2-mssql-net40-deploymentfiles.zip

I have SQL Server 2008 Developer Edition with SP installed and configured.  I also have Visual Studio 2010 installed.

Windows 7 32-bit clean install.

I have .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0 installed on my machine.  The ATI graphics software required .NET 2.0 installed (I think .NET 3.5 includes .NET 2.0).

I have followed the video on:

http://www.mojoportal.com/manual-installation-in-iis-75-with-mssql.aspx

I have also tried changing the application pool to using .NET 4.0 and restarted the application pool and the web site.

Can't get it working.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Shao

Hi Joe,

Thanks for that.  I have read the FAQ and I also don't have 2 .NET applications running.  At least there is only one website running under IIS.

I have also seen your post about getting around it with a location tag, but I can't see an example in the thread and I can't find one by Googling - possibly because I don't know what words to Google to get what I need.

Could you please point me in the right direction (e.g. Google link).

Cheers,

Shao

Okay, I think I've got it working.

In IIS 7.5 I didn't enable ASP.NET.

Once I enabled ASP.NET it corrupted the .NET framework, so you have to apply this:

http://www.gotknowhow.com/articles/fix-bad-module-managedpipelinehandler-in-iis7

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\SetupCache\Client\setup.exe /repair /x86 /x64 /ia64 /parameterfolder Client /q /norestart

Once you've done that, it may create new Application Pools and will disable your own Application Pools, so you need to enable them.

After that it works.

Cheers,

Shao
