Unrecognized attribute 'xmlns'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive.

I am recieving an error below on my plesk 9.0.0 server on one of my new clients website setups. They are migrating the site to me from a standard IIS6 web server with no control panel like plesk on it. In googleing this error the only assitance that I have found have suggested that I use ASP.net Version 2 instead of 1. I have changed the ASP.net version to 2 and I am still seeing this error. I have deleted and readded the connection string using the plesk control panel. Nothing seems to fix the error. Is this a bug or am I just doing something wrong. ( I did put dummy values in the string to protect the client)

I tried this site on a Plesk 8.6 box and it worked there. Why won't it work in 9.0

Fix !

Hi,

This can be easily sorted by removing the xmlns="" attribute from the web.config or any other affected files.
