Hello,
I have been receiving a reoccurring ERROR Message while attempting to preview my Web Page in a browser.
The message I receive:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<span>
<h1>Server Error in /App Application.

Configuration Error
<span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif Description:

<span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif From my understanding, there is information missing from my WEB.CONFIG file, however, I have not been successful in finding any relevant information to my error.
<span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif Here is my code for the web.config file:

<span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif <br/>

<span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif <?xml version="1.0"?><br/>
