iis 7 - "HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error" with Dynamic Data

I have a simple Dynamic Data application set up using forms authentication as the admin section of another web application. This works when I run it inside Visual Studio as a standalone project.

I've deployed it to my live site inside an application directory and I get the following error:

HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

• Module IIS Web Core


• Notification BeginRequest


• Handler Not yet determined


• Error Code 0x800700b7


• Config Error Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with unique key attribute 'name' set to 'UrlRoutingHandler'


• Config File \?\C:\sites\website1\dd\web.config

Config source:

I found a suggested fix for this to change the following values from 'deny' to 'allow' applicationHost.config:

But, this didn't work. Does anyone have any other suggestions, or know what is causing this error.

Thanks.

Answer

That errors means that you have a duplicate setting for UrlRoutingHandler. It's probably set in C:\sites\website1\ or applicationHost.config. You should be able to delete that line from the web.config file for \dd\web.config and you'll be set. To find the root cause, check the other config files in the tree (site level, applicationHost.config in this case) for UrlRoutingHandler.
