• Create a web application on port 5 (not only on 5 you can chooose other ports too)
• Extend the web application on to port 6 (which was created on port 5)

copy & paste the below tags exactly after machinkey tag (<machineKey validationKey=”7B896F9AC751CE89F7EEB83E766CF6004D42A26DB9C26C95″ decryptionKey=”2DB30482C44B8B6EE13444509E5243E761241B67209B6FF2″ validation=”SHA1″ />)
