Exception in configuration section handler <RewriterConfig>

Hi there,

I have a new server that we are adding to our web cluster. This server has
Windows Server 2003 32-bit Service Pack 1 installed. We have .NET 1.1 and 2.0
on this machine. A web application is throwing the below error and I am
curious as to why the web application works ok on the other web servers in
the cluster (web editions) but not on this new machine (Standard Edition).
Each server points to the same directory on a filer. Any help appreciated.
thanks, Matt.

Server Error in '/' Application.

FYI, it was a problem with permissions.
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\ directory needed permissions for the user account running
the web application pool (generally NETWORK SERVICE account).

The odd thing was that all other .NET sites worked except for the one that
used URL Rewriting.
