Required permissions cannot be acquired error when hosting web site

A client has sent me their web site and I got it to work on my local machine, but after hosting it on my website under a sub domain I get the following error:

Required permissions cannot be acquired.

I did some searching and tried messing with the trust tag in web.config, but then that told me:

This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when the site administrator has locked access to this section using from an inherited configuration file.

I have looked through the location settings in the web.config and don't see anything strange. What should I try next?

check the machine.config to see if something there is blocking you...

see this

Basically you are looking for this...

<location allowOverride="false">

If you see that in the machine config that is wrapping the same section you are trying to edit in a web.config you will get that error.
