Virtual Directory looking at parent web.config

Web Application inside a virtual directory refers web.Config of parent directory and error related to that configuration file encountered .

Solution for this is to include a statement : 

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false"> 
<system.web>
 ...
</system.web>
</location>

You have to insert the <location> tag as mentioned above in the parent web.Config .
