Question

I am trying to add a ribbon tool bar button in SDL Tridion 2011 SP1 by using a custom editor configured in IIS. I need to open a pop-up aspx page when a user clicks on the ribbon toolbar button.

Clicking the button returns:

Server Error in ‘/WebUI/Editors/2011Extensions’ Application.

Configuration Error 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.

Parser Error Message: 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.

After this I also tried to change the virtual directory to application. Still I am getting the same error. Please Help in this issue.
Thanks in advance.

It seems like you have a web.config in your pop-ups folder. This should not really be necessary. You only need one in the root folder of your editor.

You mention that this occurs when you click the button. Can we assume that the new ribbon item shows correctly?
