RussianQuestion
I’m trying to set the authentication provider for a newly created web site (Application Management -> Authentication Providers). I try to set it to either Forms or Windows (the setting doesn’t matter).
When I click save I get...
Failed to apply a web.config modification to file 'configuration/system.web/pages'. The specified node "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\testsolution9\web.config" was not found in the web.config file. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebConfigFileChanges.ApplyModificationsWebConfigXmlDocument(XmlDocument xdWebConfig, String filepath)
I check the web.config file and the section is present! Here it is...
<pages enableSessionState="true" enableViewState="true" enableViewStateMac="true" validateRequest="false" pageParserFilterType="Microsoft.SharePoint.ApplicationRuntime.SPPageParserFilter, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" asyncTimeout="7">
<namespaces>
<remove namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts" />
</namespaces>
<tagMapping>
<add tagType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.SqlDataSource, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" mappedTagType="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.SPSqlDataSource, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" />
</tagMapping>
</pages>
However I don’t get the error when I select an old web application to change provider. I’ve even copied the entire contents of the old web.config into the new sites’ web.config, but I still get the same error.
On a separate but related note I have a solution that adds the Ajax entries into the web.config file and it produces the same error message.
I’ve googled a lot but can’t seem to get anywhere, they all say "add in the pages section" but it’s already there?
Update 1
I've been looking through the SharePoint logs (yuk) and have got these entries, the last one being the actual error.

Solution 3
I've traced this back to an install of the CKS Blog Edition, it seems to have done something to the sharepoint web.config modifications.
OTHER TIPS
Is that really the error message?
It seems to me that something is transposed, perhaps indicating something is making a web config modification in code but with a bug. It seems strange to me that the message states:
- "Failed to apply a web.config modification to file 'configuration/system.web/pages'". This is not a file - that's a node!
- "The specified node "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\testsolution9\web.config" was not found..". This is not a node - that's a file!
Can you think of anything in your solution which could cause this?
I believe the API code throwing the exception has a bug that swaps the parameters: Check out this page (Bottom of #1).
