Deploy ASP.Net MVC solution to Windows 2008

Question

We have a ASP.Net MVC project that runs fine on our developer machines.

When we try and run it on a Windows 2008 machine we get the following error:

Error 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".

The line on which it fails is:

<handlers>

I have a feeling that somewhere there is a setting that says that handlers cannot be overriden, but I cannot find it.

Thanks

Shiraz

Developer machines are Windows XP, we run the solution from Visual Studio with the Cassini web server — Shiraz Bhaiji

Did you check in %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\. ?

Further ...

<section name="handlers" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />

change this value from "Deny" to "Allow"

<section name="modules" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication" overrideModeDefault="Deny" />

change this value from "Deny" to "Allow"
