Web Application as Virtual Directory of EPiServer site in IIS

Vote:

Hi,

I have an EPiServer CMS 6 R2 site running fine in IIS 7. However I wish to add another web application as a virtual directory within that EPiServer site in IIS.

I have ensured that the path to this virtual directory is excluded by EPiServer in the URLRewriter. When I try to hit the URL of the web application I have added, I get the following error:

CS1519: Invalid token ',' in class, struct, or interface member declaration

Has anyone ever managed to successfully add a web application as a virtual directory of an EPiServer site in IIS before?

Thanks.

In the child virtual folder wrap the <system.web> and <system.webServer> elements as follows:

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
  <system.web>
    <!-- ... -->
  </system.web>
</location>

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false"> 
  <system.webServer>
    <!-- ... -->
  </system.webServer>
</location>

This should stop you inheriting settings from the parent application.

Thanks for your response David. I tried your suggestion but unfortunately it didn't work.

Do you mean add the lines of code you suggested in the web.config of the EPiServer site, or the virtual folder site? And I assume I should replace path="." with path="myvirtualfolderpath"?

I've just realised I was wrapping the location tag around the system.web and system.webServer in the wrong area of the web.config.

I've placed it in the correct area now and it works! Thanks David.
