I think I have done it correctly. Here is the web.config. file I am using.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true" />
<customErrors mode="Off" />
<authentication mode="None" />
<authorization>
<allow users="*" /> <!-- Allow all users -->
</authorization>
<trace enabled="true" requestLimit="10" pageOutput="true"
traceMode="SortByTime" localOnly="true" />
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="false"
timeout="20"
/>
<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />
</system.web>
</configuration>

John,

If you made that change and this is still happening, it indicates an error
occurring before the processing of the web.config file. Can you browse the
server from the console? If not, can you try an ASPX page in a different
site on the same box?

The app doesn't run from the site root folder as well. Any ideas?

OK. I am using a second remote server and am getting the below message. Any
ideas?

Thanks

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.

Source Error:

Line 4: <compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true" />
Line 5: <customErrors mode="Off" />
Line 6: <authentication mode="None" />
Line 7: <authorization>
Line 8: <allow users="*" /> <!-- Allow all users -->
