Hello, I've spent some time wrestling with getting BlogEngine.net up and running on my Windows Plan website.  Unfortunately, despite my attempts, I see this error:

"Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.  This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."

I've triple-checked my Plesk setup and here's what I did, I FTP'd the blogengine.net files in to a httpdocs/blog folder and then I went into Plesk and navigated to "Web Directories".  I then used the "Add New Virtual Directory" tool and input my blog directory and made sure that the "Create Application" checkbox was activated. 

Despite that, I still receive the error and I can't seem to find any documentation that could describe why I'm still seeing the same error.  Has anyone out there run into a similar situation, or can offer any ideas of what to try?  Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Chad

I don't understand why it is not working. I installed it a while back following pretty much the same procedure, as described in Al's excellent "How to Install" video, and it works fine. The only thing that I can think of is that you're trying to access it with the directory name instead of the virtual directory name.

For example, on mine, the files uploaded are in mydomain.com/blog. The virtual directory is named myblog, so to access the blog I enter mydomain.com/myblog, which works fine. If, instead, I enter mydomain.com/blog, I get the same "not configured as an application" error. Could this be your issue?
