allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level

When am trying to build a web application through visual studio 2010, I was getting the following 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. "

 

The solution is to check whether the is any other sub folder which is having web.config file. After removing it, The build was successful.

 

Best Regards
