Can't get rid of It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level

Question

I know this topic is discussed several times here but I read them and I don't believe they apply to my scenario. I added the following to my web.config:

<location path="Admin/default.aspx">
    <system.web>
      <authorization>
        <allow roles="Customer Service Admin" />
        <deny users="*"/>
      </authorization>

And I started getting the error. I looked at the other SO posts on this and I found another web.config higher up in the Account subfolder but I deleted it. There are no other web.config files. I have done the other things like deleting the obj file but I keep getting this error. I am running i IIS Express locally. What else could it be?

Answer 1

The problem was unlike in any of the other SO Posts on this error. The error was caused by two system.web sections in the web.config
