i have 2 servers and i've to migrate the website to one 2003 server to 2008 server. When i try to run the website in the 2008 server i have this error: There is a duplicate system.web.extensions/scripting/scriptResourceHandler section defined

But i don't have a duplicate 'system.web.extensions/scripting/scriptResourceHandler in the web.config. And when i delete this line then it complains about a duplicate of the next line, and so on until I remove almost all of the config sections.

  • There must be a duplicate somewhere, not necessarily in the same web.config file. The duplicate can be in another web.config file at different folder level, or in some case in machine.config. For workaround, try adding <remove name="scriptResourceHandler"/> before <section name="scriptResourceHandler" .../> Commented Dec 14, 2015 at 13:21

I had this problem when the web site I was trying to setup and get running was supposed to be setup to run under .net 2.0/3.5 but I had it setup to run under .NET 4.0 by accident.

Background:

Per comment under the original issue "There must be a duplicate somewhere, not necessarily in the same web.config file. The duplicate can be in another web.config file at different folder level, or in some case in machine.config." I did find the duplicate. In the .net 4.0 machine.config, entries were there which duplicated the contents of my web.config, which resulted in the duplicate error. However, the .net 2.0 machine.config did not have duplicates with my web.config.

Switching the application pool to run .net 2.0, as it should have been in the first place, eliminated the error.
