Server Error in '/kenticocms' Application relating to Virtual Directory.
I have been having installation issues with my GoDaddy hosting service, and tried to resolve the issue by following the instructions on this thread

However, it appears that I am facing a unique problem with my virtual directory:

I was able to install the application fine initially, with the following steps:
1. Installed Kentico on my local machine and stored the files into a temporary folder in inetpub/wwwroot/KenticoCMS

2. FTP'd the entire folder to my GoDaddy hosting account at [root]/KenticoCMS/

3. Created the application database (SQL Server 2005) on GoDaddy.

4. Created a virtual directory for the KenticoCMS application.

At this point, when I attempt to access my site, I receive a configuration error message stating: "Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. "

I have attached a few screen shots to show that the database and virtual directories were setup according to the link above, as well as the corresponding error message that I received.

Any help you an offer would be greatly appreciated, as I have spent a lot of hours (days) trying to resolve this issue.

Hello,

GoDaddy updated the IIS from 6 to 7 version not long ago. Please see the instructions for IIS7: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/configuration_on_w2008iis7.htm
I hope it will help you.

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova
