hi

i am trying to add authentications to a login form that i created.
everything works fine but once i added in Web.config under <authentication>
<code>
<customErrors
mode="Off" />

<authentication mode="Forms" />
<forms name="SecTicket" loginUrl="WFlogin.aspx" />
</authentication>
</code>
i get the following compilation error:
[
Error trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server.
Server side-error occurred on sending debug HTTP request.

make sure the server is operating correctly. Verify there are no syntax
error in web.config by doing debug.start without debuging. you may also want
to refer to the ASP.NET and ATL server debugging topic in the online
documenation
]
the error occurs soon as i include <forms name="SecTicket"
loginUrl="WFlogin.aspx" />
but if i delete it, it runs fine!!
can anyone give me suggestions as to why??

thank you in advance

Jason,
It looks as though when you add in the <forms name.... tag you
leave the "/" in the opening <authentication mode="Forms"/> it should
be <authentication mode="Forms">
