IIS error on Vista

[eranga262154]

Hi All,

I guess this is the right place to ask this question. If not please moderator move it to the correct place.

I host an ASP.Net site in IIS7 on vista. Once I browse the site it display an error. Here is the complete error I got.

HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
Description: The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.
Error Code: 0x8007000d
Notification: BeginRequest
Module: IIS Web Core
Requested URL: http://192.168.2.99:80/
Physical Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SITE
Logon User: Not yet determined
Logon Method: Not yet determined
Handler: Not yet determined
Config Error: Unrecognized configuration section 'sessionState'
Config File: \\?\C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SITE\web.config
Config Source:

127: </handlers>
128: <sessionState mode="inProc" timeout="30"/>
129: </system.webServer>

According to the Microsoft Support site explains, that line number 128 need to be deleted. Once I do that, it's move to endless, have to delete a lot.

And also same config file working fine on server 2003(with IIS6), this all happens on Vista.

Any comments appreciate.

Is SITE specified as a virtual directory in IIS?

Yes it is.

Try placing sessionState tag outside system.webServer tag. If I remember correctly, webserver doesn't support sessionState tags.

I'll check that and let you know.

Hey,

If you haven't already done so, you can find information about the sessionState element in the web.config file here:
