    I am getting this error when attempting to go to navigate to the umbraco backend on my site: 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.

    It is pointing to this section of the web.config: trust level="Application"

    sounds like a misconfiguration in IIS, you normally get this error if as stated in the error your website is not configured as an application.

    How is your website set up in IIS? do you have Umbraco in a subfolder of another site?

    This is an old website that I loaded into a new project. I am running the website from Visual Studio. The error also occurred on the live server, so I am not sure if it is simply the IIS on my machine.

    It is most likely some setting in your Umbraco web.config that is causing this problem
