I get the following error on my SharePoint WFEs: "A configuration error has occurred."

The following error may occur on the SharePoint WFEs Event Log when installing the CardioLog Analytics Tracking Agent Feature:

3008 
A configuration error has occurred.

ConfigurationErrorsException 
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS. (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\template\layouts\cardiologagent\web.config line 36) 
http://sharepoint/_layouts/CardioLogAgent/CardioLogAgent.js 
/_layouts/CardioLogAgent/CardioLogAgent.js 

at System.Configuration.ConfigurationSchemaErrors.ThrowIfErrors(Boolean ignoreLocal) at System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.GetSectionRecursive(String configKey, Boolean getLkg, Boolean checkPermission, Boolean getRuntimeObject, Boolean requestIsHere, Object& result, Object& resultRuntimeObject) at System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.GetSection(String configKey) at System.Web.Configuration.RuntimeConfig.GetSectionObject(String sectionName) at System.Web.Configuration.RuntimeConfig.GetSection(String sectionName, Type type, ResultsIndex index) at System.Web.Configuration.RuntimeConfig.get_Identity() at System.Web.HttpContext.SetImpersonationEnabled() at System.Web.HttpRuntime.ProcessRequestNotificationPrivate(IIS7WorkerRequest wr, HttpContext context)

 

These errors may appear when the CardioLogAgent web application under the SharePoint website /_layouts folder in IIS is not configured as a web application.

In order to resolve it please do the following: 

Open IIS Manager > Right click the CardioLogAgent directory located under the SharePoint website (http://sharepoint in this example) /_layouts folder and select "Convert to Application".
