Generally this happens when you have more than one Web.Config file in your application root folder.
Just check if you have more than one. If so, remove the duplicate copies.

Reason for my vote of one!
Please use proper language when posting solutions. Textspeak is definitely not an option.

How does this sound related to the error? Faced it earlier?
