Configuration :: Error "The Configuration Section "connectionStrings" Cannot Be Read Because It Is Missing A Section" When Loading Page
Mar 5, 2010
I have this error: The configuration section 'connectionStrings' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration on my site when loading this page [URL]. The rest of the site works [URL] Setup:The server is a hosting company - Mocha Hosting. [URL] contains a phpbb forum. This has been installed via the hosting company's web tool (Plesk). There is a root web.config, but there isn't in the /forum/ folder. The forum folder has been set by the phpbb installation wizard to be a virtual directory and application - and it appears to not have asp.net configured on it. The forum worked BEFORE uploading the root web.config file, and again if i temporarily remove the root web.config.

I am running a 4.0 environment on my development machine (VS 2010 + .NET4) and my server (2008 SERVER + just installed .NET 40). On my dev environment, I don't get any errors, but with the same web config on the server, I get: Error 500.19 - The configuration section 'system.web.extensions' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration
I am getting this error on a website. does that mean the server is not competible with asp.net 3.5

Excuse me this common error. I´ve found a lot of info in Google but I´ve not found my error. I´m trying to read some data from a custom section in web.config and I don´t know which is my error?
Why would I be getting this error message ? I have not touched this part of my application ?Error 5 Section or group name 'compilation' is already defined.

I have been using the aspnet_regiis to encrypt my web configs in .net 2.0. I have recently moved my application to .net 4 and the encryption runs without any issues but when I try to view the site, I get a 500.19 error "Configuration section encryption is not supported".
I have verified that my web config contains "<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />"
Dim roleRedirectSection As LoginRedirectByRoleSection = DirectCast(ConfigurationManager.GetSection("loginRedirectByRole"), LoginRedirectByRoleSection)
...I get the following error:
Message: "An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for loginRedirectByRole: Could not load type 'sitename.LoginRedirectByRoleSection'. (W:Webs2010DEVsitenameASP 4.0web.config line 10)"
I've created a custom config section for my application. For some reason Visual Studio 2010 isn't picking up and of my custom properties. I'm getting warnings similar to this for all the "add" keys: Could not find schema information for the element 'urlFilterSection'
CONFIG FILE: <configSections> <section name="urlFilterSection" type="BotFinderApp.Models.UrlFilterSection, BotFinder" /> </configSections> <urlFilterSection> <urlFilterCollection> <add url="urlhere.com.au" numberOfIpsToExtract="10" /> <add url="urlhere.com.au" numberOfIpsToExtract="10" /> <add url="urlhere.com.au" numberOfIpsToExtract="10" /> <add url="urlhere.com.au" numberOfIpsToExtract="10" /> <add url="urlhere.com.au" numberOfIpsToExtract="10" /> <add url="urlhere.com.au" numberOfIpsToExtract="10" /> <add url="urlhere.com.au" numberOfIpsToExtract="10" /> <add url="urlhere.com.au" numberOfIpsToExtract="10" /> <add url="urlhere.com.au" numberOfIpsToExtract="10" /> </urlFilterCollection> </urlFilterSection> UrlFilterSection: namespace BotFinderApp.Models { public class UrlFilterSection : ConfigurationSection { public UrlFilterSection() { } [ConfigurationProperty("urlFilterCollection", IsDefaultCollection = false)] [ConfigurationCollection(typeof(UrlFilterCollection), AddItemName = "add", ClearItemsName = "clear", RemoveItemName = "remove")] public UrlFilterCollection Urls { get { var urlsCollection = (UrlFilterCollection)base["urlFilterCollection"]; return urlsCollection; } } } } UrlFilterCollection namespace BotFinderApp.Models { public class UrlFilterCollection : ConfigurationElementCollection { public UrlFilterCollection() { } protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement() { return new UrlFilter(); } protected override object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element) { return ((UrlFilter)element).Url; } } } UrlFilter namespace BotFinderApp.Models { public class UrlFilter : ConfigurationElement { public UrlFilter() { } [ConfigurationProperty("url", DefaultValue = "", IsRequired = true)] public string Url { get { return (string)this["url"]; } set { this["url"] = value; } } [ConfigurationProperty("numberOfIpsToExtract", DefaultValue = "0", IsRequired = true)] public int NumberOfIpsToExtract { get { return (int)this["numberOfIpsToExtract"]; } set { this["numberOfIpsToExtract"] = value; } } } }
Why do I get a different address from the one defined in web.config?
UPDATE: The "/VNK/site/" prefix is not a problem here. The problem is that LoginUrl property of FormsAuthentication class does not reflect the value from web.config. It means that if I change in web.config loginUrl from "~/Account/LogOn" for example to "~/foobar", FormsAuthentication.LoginUrl still has value of "/VNK/site/Account/Login". Why ?
I'm trying to implement Approach 3 from this Url Rewriting article.I've added all the required configuration (in web.config for the UrlRewriter module) but when i try to add this in web.config:
I'm getting an ConfigurationErrorsException when trying to load a custom section from my web.config.
I'm trying to register a custom section in web.config to load it later using a "Section Class". Suppose my section is orderService, and I register it in web.config as shown: <configuration> <configSections> <sectionGroup name="system.web.extensions" type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"> </sectionGroup> <section name="orderService" type="orderService"/> </configSections> <orderService available="true" pollTimeout="00:01:00" location="abc"> </orderService> <appSettings></appSettings> <connectionStrings/>
Then I try to load it with:
Configuration config = WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Request.ApplicationPath); OrderService custSection = OrderService)config.GetSection("orderService"); <== The exception is thrown here (OrderService is a class that inherits from the class ConfigurationSection, and that defines a property for each orderService property, in this case: available, pollTimeout and location)
The exception says: An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for orderService: Could not load type 'orderService'. (my web.config path line 23) Does anybody know what am I doing wrong here? (I got it from the book APress: Pro ASP.NET 3.5 in C#)
I have a custom section in a web application that I am having trouble encrypting. I have written an external .NET program that will encrypt both .NET 1.1 & .NET 2.0 web/app configs.Up until this point in time, I have never had to encrypt any custom sections for either type of application. Anyway, the way I set it up for my web application is I wrote a class library that I import into the web application which allows me to set up and read from the custom section in the web.config. That all works fine... I added the custom section, and the web pages are able to read the values fine.
I have created a custom configuration section in a c# class library by inheriting from ConfigurationSection. I reference the class library in my web application (also c#, ASP.NET), fill in the appropriate attributes and everything works great. The problem starts when I start adding validators.
For example, this property:
[ConfigurationProperty("appCode", IsRequired = true)] public string ApplicationCode { get { return (string)base["appCode"]; } set { base["appCode"] = value; } }
As is it works fine, but as soon as I add this:
[StringValidator(MinLength=1)]
It bombs with the following error:
The value for the property 'appCode' is not valid. The error is: The string must be at least 1 characters long.
I get this error even though a valid appCode value is in my web.config file. If I remove the validator it works perfectly.
I am trying to create an MVC2 web application that will run both on my local development machine (on localhost), and on our central webserver.
Development machine:
Windows 7 Professional, 64bitVisual Studio 2010 (beta)ASP.NET 4.0IIS 7.5
Webserver:
Windows Server 2003 SP2ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 (determined by checking the folders under %SystemRoot%Microsoft.NETFramework)IIS 6.0
Everything works fine when debugging from VS, and I've finally gotten so far that it also works copied to the webserver. However, when I try to copy it to my own local webserver, I get the following error message:
Error Summary
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error

I'm trying to create a member section for my website and a non member section. I want the nonmember pages to have access to all the member pages but just not certain features like saving to the database. Is there a way to have the same page for both members and non members but have certain controls like buttons and other things that are only usable to the member that is logged in?
I use visual studio 2008 login controls to build up a login web page and have a hosting MS SQL with godaddy. After the login page is finished, I went to server explorer to publish DB to provider and save it in .sql. Then I went to godaddy hosting and executed the exported query. I also added the following connectionstrings to the web.config
When I run the website, I received the following error

Source Error: [Code].... Question 1: I have also copied membership,profile,rolemanager from .NETconfigmachine.config to web.config but it didn't solve the error.Question 2: Can I use this built in control with its express DB or I have to create one by my own? What should I do in web.config for connectionstrings?
