This was due to a switch master to web config file being included in the deployment package. Removing this file corrected the error
Hi Ryan,
ReplyDeleteTHanks for sharing this pose. I am running into the same type of error with a very similar stack trace. Took out the SwitchMastertoWeb.config file but I am still getting the error. Any idea what else might be causing the issue?
Highly scaled website project with many config files running SC 7.2
Is the error happening on CM or CD and is it only appearing when you load the admin area?
