This line indicates one possible reason:
"This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an
application in IIS."
Web.config sections can be specified to only be allowed to be modified at
the application level, i.e. modified in the root folder of your web
applications boundaries on the server. The authentication section looks like
it is one of them. At the moment, the folder which contains the web.config
where you have configured this section is not the root folder of the web
application.
There's at least two explanations for this:
1) you have tried to configure this stuff in a subfolder of your web
applications root folder
2) the virtual directory containing your app has not been configured as an
IIS web application within IIS.
So, on your server, you need to go into IIS, then to the properties for this
folder, and make sure it has an application created on it. Or, configure
this section in the web.config which exists in the root folder of your app.
HTH,
