Moving towards the new version of Internet Information Services (IIS) on Windows Server 2008 will show a new user interface look and feel. Most options you see are the same but just displayed slightly different.  I have got use to the new layout pretty quickly.

The new actions section on the right is quite helpful and removes the need for all those right-click options! 

I'm sure if you have worked with IIS before you will find the new layout easy to use.

Here is a quick image look at the new user interface:

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: 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 49:   ...
Line 50:   -->
Line 51:   <authentication mode="Windows" />
Line 52:   <!--   AUTHORIZATION

Cause:
The Web.Config is telling IIS to treat this as an application but it has not been set up as an application in IIS - hence the error message.

Solution:

1. Run/Open IIS (under Control Panel > Administrative Tools  for most Operating Systems)
2. Find the project in the list of projects. (Open up your computer in the list and look under "Default Web Site").
3. Bring up its properties (Right click > Properties).
4. If the "application name" (under "Application Settings" on the "Directory" tab) is greyed out then click '[Create]' and then '[OK]'.
