I more or less maintain a web site for an academic organization I am
a member in. The site was redone in ASP.NET about three years ago by
someone else. I have read some in a few books and articles about
ASP.NET but this is not a technology I normally program in and
therefore every problem seems like a big deal. The programmer who set
it up wrote a utility for searching text files on the site. I never
use this but a member of the organization recently tried and got a
nasty error:
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3615;
ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3053
I've shortened the URLs but i've looked at the identified lines and
don't see anything that interesting. So I don't know what needs
changing.
In addition, this web.config file is in a subdirectory of the main
directory for the site's contents. That directory also has a
web.config file and the only difference is see is that the higher one
says:
<connectionStrings>
<add
name="DataAccess.Properties.Settings.MembershipManagementConnectionString"
...
<add name="eSources" connectionString="Data
Source=vcnsql82.webhost4life.com
and the lower one says:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="eSources" connectionString="Data Source=VCNSQL82\I82;
Do I need to have both of these web.config files or can I solve this
problem by nuking the one in the lower directory, the one that is
causing the complaint? My own experience in other programming
languages and tools is that a database has one name. Does this syntax
mean the programmer created two databases? What can I do to solve
this? Thanks.
