Replacing partitions in web.config with a web deployment project

I am trying to replace the next section with an empty section.

<secureWebPages mode="RemoteOnly" encryptedUri="abc.co.uk" unencryptedUri="www.abc.co.uk" maintainPath="True" warningBypassMode="AlwaysBypass" bypassQueryParamName="BypassSecurityWarning" ignoreHandlers="WithStandardExtensions"> <files> <add path="abc.aspx"/> </files> </secureWebPages>

But after execution it gives me the following error

 WDP00002: missing section secureWebPages/configuration.

Can anyone help me in this regard

This error means that the section you want to replace was not found in the web.config file.

For example, read my entry in my WDP

authentication = authentication.config

However, authentication cannot be found in the root, as it is in the system.web file, so I changed it to

system.web / authentication = authentication.config

and it worked.

Please note that during debugging I tried to replace the entire system.web element, and this also did not seem to work for me - I am not sure what caused this, but if you cannot replace system.web, I suggest you try another element and see does this work e.g. connectionStrings

So, this problem arose for me recently and until I found it, I was at a loss. It seems that web.config consists of not only sections, but also groups of sections. Now system.serviceModel, system.web, etc. They are service groups and as such cannot be replaced as a whole.

You can replace sections in a group using "section group" / "section" = x.config

Hope this helps :)
