I had just compiled my site using Publlish Website feature of Visual Web Developer. But when I deployed the compiled website in the local IIS, I received the following error message in the browser:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Can anybody help me solve this problem?

what version of IIS you running ?

Sorry, i don't know the version of my IIS. How would I know it?

control panel >> administrative tools >> iis >> help >> about internet information services

I've seen this before. I think that you may be running the website under ASP.NET 1.0 instead of 2.0 on the server. Go to the website in IIS, right click on it, get the properties, make sure you're running it under asp.net 2.0 on the asp.net tab.

That should fix the problem.
