I have not installed the main App yet… just the forums.
If I just go to the forums directory in IIS and click the ‘create’ application on that directory I get the following error trying to access it:
The directory does not exist or is not accessible because of security settings
If I set the forums as its own virtual directory then I get web.config errors because there are authentication conflicts. ( I thought that this error would go away because it is it’s own application)
So is it possible to have a sub-directory a different .net application then the main directory?
This was a test domain so I was configuring directly throug IIS.
They are in different pools.
Since one was a sub-directory they share cookies. What I was trying to test is if they can share the asp.net forms authentication cookies between 1.14 and 2.00
I’m not getting that far.
I thought if I configured the subdirectory (forums) as it’s own asp.net application it would ignore the web.config from the parent directory. This does not seem to be happening.
it should run on its own web.config considering it is different pool, app folder, etc
I HAVE with 2.0 seen it read down to the root a few times and never able to figure out what directed it to do so, even with sysinternals tools (which won’t run on the VPS so no need to try them)
In those cases I recommend subdomains, they work better in my experience, and it shoudl not be technically differnet than different app pools/app folders as far as sharing is concerned
Is there a difference in IIS between creating a virtual directory (for the subdirectory) and right clicking on the subdirectory in iis and clicking the create application button?
