So, I've been working on a web form that writes its data to a sql database. I had it to the point I was sure it was working, created a backup, and ever since I've been getting this error:

Line 51: <authentication mode="Windows" />
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.

So, I've Googled my booty off, and all I'm finding is to delete/move the backup files as they cause problems (I deleted them ALL, but some are still showing up in my searches... when I try deleting them from there it says they don't exist... so I don't know..........) or working with the IIS to configure the application. SO, I try doing that and can't find IIS to begin with. SO, I try installing/enabling it. Nope... didn't work. I tried it via command prompt and through enabling it in "programs and features", literally nothing is changing this. Does anyone have ANY idea why I might be having this problem? I'm going insane...
