Parser Error Message: Unrecognized configuration section 'connectionStrings'

Jun 9 2008 5:25 PM

I have a VS2005/C# project that (finally) works fine in debug mode. When I try to access it via a direct IP Address, I get the following error. Logic would tell you I need to change IIS to access ASP.NET 2.0 (because the bottom of the message shows that it is using 1.1), but IIS is set up for this website as 2.0. I cannot find anywhere else I can change it. I'm STUMPED!

Server Error in '/DW/DEPTDEPOSIT' Application.
