Yes, all IIS settings apear correct, the problem is definatly related to web.config inheritance.

Do you set the new sub directory as an application in the IIS mmc?

asp.net site with virtual directories

I keep running into this same problem, and I never find a solution other than just creating a separate website.

I always get errors when creating an asp.net virtual directory inside of another asp.net site. I have found many blogs with work around to remove things like http modules and I belive another about surrounding the system.web portion with <location> with a parameter of something like donotinheritparent=true.

None of the things I have found work, I try and try but never get the sub app to run. Of course every time I have tried this, they have been completely different apps, occasionally targeting different frameworks.

Would I be right to say that this can’t be done, if we assume that the child config cannot inherit anything from the parent to work?
