Hi Ryan,
Thanks very much for your comment. I am not too knowledgeable with the syntax.
How should I remark from line 199
or Should I just remove the line
Line 198:</configuration>
Line 199:<location path="brachsites" allowOverride="true">
Line 200:
Line 201: <system.web>
Line 202: <trust level="Full" originUrl=""/>
and why is that I am having different error message when I changed to the .Net version 4
Thanks

The comment format for a web.config is like so:
<--! My comments go here -->
To comment out an entire section, as Ryan suggested, you would insert a line above the line you wanted to start at, enter the first part of the comment "<!--" then go to the last line of what you want to comment out, and under that last line, insert a line and place the last part of the comment there "-->"
Everything in between the the comment start/stop, will not be used by the application.
For example, with a web.config that looks like:
You would comment out like the following:

Let's take a step back.... exactly why are you directly modifying the machine.config?
Do you have the original or a clean copy of the file before you started editing it?
IMO, modifying this file is only a source of headache and needs to be done only is rare and very specific cases.

Thanks Guys,,
Yes, actually I have never modified anything on the server. I just copy the file and work on the copy.
But let me share what i have learned. I have been troubleshooting IIS for 4 months now everyday and I learned that most of time error messages we are getting does have no relation with the original cause. I am not sure why. When ever I got an error message, It turns out to be completeyl different thing.
In this case as well, problem doesn't originated from machine .config file but from some other causes.
Thanks for the input guys

the setting of line 200 onwards, which is " <location path="brachsites" allowOverride="true"> "... should be put within the <configuration> tag. which mean should be put before line: 199.
or simply remark from line: 199 onwards.
