Re: Getting Virtual Directory not configured error

hi Nick,
if you have a root web.config and a sub-directory web.config file, that could explain the error you mentioned if the either one is not configured correctly. i would be happy to test your configuration on my own IIS server. perhaps you could reply with both of the web.config files. i will assume that the IIS 'application' is created on the subdirectory, as you indicated in your original post.

Thanks for answer back I commented out

<authentication mode="Windows"/>

and built it, but ddn't work. It complaining alway when it gets too the
following line:


<viewstateService defaultProvider="ViewStateProviderGlobal">

I don't know if this is where the problem exist. It's funny that this was
working without IIS configuration on my machine, and as soon as I rebuilt it
once the problem started occurring. Originally I had the above mentioned
authentication mode in the root web.config and another web.config file (the
one I posted here) was in another folder called Web. I thought this was a
problem so I got rid of the root web.conifig and just kept one web.config
file in the folder web as shown in my VS Explorer image. I even commented
out

<authentication>
<forms loginUrl="~/WH/login.aspx"/>
</authentication>

but it made no difference. Any other suggestions.

thanks again
Nick

hi nick,
seems strange that you have configured Windows authentication, but provided
a Forms loginUrl? perhaps asp.net is getting confused by this apparent
contradiction? can you try deleting the authentication sections?
