web application hosting Asp.net

I hosted a web application on Windows 7 and now I want it to be hosted on Windows Server 2003.

I am getting this error.

I copied the application to the server and added a new virtual directory pointing to it.

When I want to browse the application from the IIS this error rises:

Configuration Error:

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'type'.

Source Error: 

    <configuration>
       <configSections>
           <sectionGroup name="system.web.extensions" 
                         type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, 
                         Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">

Is there any solution to solve the error or is there any other way to make the transition from Windows 7 to Windows Server 2003?

After you install .NET Framework 4.0, make sure its status is set to Allowed in the Web Service Extensions within IIS.

I am not sure but this is happening because your server doesn't have the .net framework installed as you have target in your own computer.

2 days ago I have same problem. in mine case I have update the web.config where server doesn't have new version of .net.

in your case you need to install new version of .net to server 2003.
