Parser Error Message: Unrecognized configuration section
system.serviceModel.

I'm trying to get the Community Server SDK up and running. I've got IIS setup
and .NET installed. I can run the IIS sample scripts no problem(even when copied
into the directory i'm running trying to run the SDK files out of), but when I
try to hit the csdev virtual directory I set up within IIS, one of two things
happens.

 If I just hit localhost/csdev directly, it appears the file type is 
incorrectly recognized, and it gives me a download diaglog. If I download and
open the file, it is the contents of Default.aspx. 

 

If I try to hit localhost/csdev/Default.aspx directly, I get the following
error: 


Server Error in '/csdev' Application.

Normally I would think this was just a .NET configuration issue, perhaps paired
with an IIS configuration issue(I typically use apache, so i'm somewhat in the
dark on IIS). However, since I can run the sample .net scripts that come with
IIS, and only the communityserver file seem to be effected, i'm not sure where
this leaves me. Any information you can shed on this issue would be greatly
appreciated.

Community Server doesn't have a web.config file which has 



<system.serviceModel> in it.

Please remove that!   IIS doesn't know what to do with that element.

If you are using it in a virtual folder, .net will be pulling the data from the
parent configuration file
