URL rewrite - web.config error

I am getting the following error when i run my .aspx page.

Error Code0x8007000d The configuration section 'rewrite' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration

I have a simple v.aspx page which has the following code:

Response.Write(Request("q"))

My hosting server as IIS 7 installed with URL rewrite feature enabled (that's what they claim)

My web.config file has the following lines under :

Note: The node has blue squiggly lines under it

<rewrite>
      <rules>
        <rule name="RewriteUserFriendlyURL1" stopProcessing="true">
          <match url="^([^/]+)/?$" />
          <conditions>
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
            <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
          </conditions>
          <action type="Rewrite" url="v.aspx?q={R:1}" />
        </rule>
      </rules>
    </rewrite>

I have searched stackoverflow but did not find a solution.

May be someone found a solution.

TIA
