Unrecognized attribute ‘targetFramework’. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive

by

This typically happens when you have an attribute of targetFramework="4.0" in the web.config but the App Pool is set to run ASP.NET 2.0. The targetFramework attribute is entirely unrecognized by ASP.NET 2.0 – so changing it to 2.0 won’t have the desired effect.

Contact Support / Your Administrator and have the AppPool switched to 4.0.

You could also remove the attribute entirely, however if your site was coded with the 4.0 Framework, then I’m sure something else will cause an error as well.
