.net - Override IIS Virtual Directory/Url In Web Application Project?
Mar 2, 2011
I have a team currently working on a Web Application project, we want to be able to run the project through our local IIS web servers and let each dev map it to whatever virtual directory they like.Currently every time we check in we are stomping on each others virtual dir settings in th cs proj file.I know we could just agree on a virtual directory and stick with it but that does not solve another problem I am having with this where I actually keep multiple copies of the repository on my machine and want to be able to map each to a separate virtual directory.
So the result we are looking for would look like this:Dev1 has a checkout at say c:/dev/Webapp mapped to a virtual dir on their local IIS say localhost/WebAppThen Dev 2 has a checkout at say c:/workspace1/WebApp mapped to a virtual dir say localhost/workspace1/MyWebAppAND Dev 2 has a checkout at say c:/workspace2/WebApp mapped to a virtual dir say localhost/workspace2/WebAppPS. The reason Dev 2 has two checkout is because he uses on for active dev work and the other for merging between branches.
I have an ASP.Net project created by a team member on another computer. The project references a virtual directory that exists on my computer but under a different localhost location.Currently, the following error occurs when I try to open the project:
The local IIS URL http://localhost/foo/default.aspx specified for Web project foobar has not been configured. In order to open this project the virtual directory needs to be configured. Would you like to create the virtual directory now?[Yes] [No]
So, there are two options: select yes: It creates the virtual directory that it thinks I need, which I don't want to do. I already have a virtual directory somewhere else.
select no: This isn't an option, as the project opens, but without all the bells and whistles I know and love.
Where is the virtual directory location (in my case http://localhost/foo/default.aspx) specified within the project? Can I change this manually, say in a configuration file within the project, either before or after I open it? A configuration change seems more ideal than manually opening IIS to override a virtual directory path.
EDIT (solution): Buried in the comments below is the following answer (Thanks @Thyamine)This can be configured in the foo.csproj file for the project. Look for the lines:
I made Web Setp Project for a web application, I need to change virtual directory property for the web application.
This virtual directory is linked to TARGETVDIR property which is disabled in the property grid.But I need to control it, I searched for this and I found that the only way is to use orca.exe and change msi using it.
Can I amke another solution to avoid making modification on nsi after build???
I created a web setup project. When the users install it, the virtual directory gets created and all the files are created under "C:Inetpubwwwroot<myvirtualdirectory>".
How to customize the web setup project so that I can change the virtual directory physical path? I had followed the tutorial
[URL]
but it didn't work and my MSI stopped installing alltogether.
Error 1 It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS. C:PdfViewerPdfTestSiteWeb.Config 28

I have a CMS application that manages multiple websites, today whenever i change the codebehind of one of these websites - i have to rebuild the dll for all websites, deploy it - this disconnects all current sessions and is really bad.
The iis is configured to listen to all domain requests, if the request is to one of the websites' domain , the application rewrites it, or example, if someone requests for http://www.example.com, and example.com is configured in the application to be website 12, it is rewritten to http://www.example.com/websites/12/default.aspx.
This is done for all websites.
We want to seperate the dlls of the websites from each other, and from the main CMS, we have a virtual directory to each websites, but when trying to rewrite to it, we discover that IIS support this (we get an "Could not load type '_12._Default'". error).
How can we perform this rewrite so it does rewrite to virtual directories, or if anyone has any other solution for the initial dll seperation problem.

I am trying to deploy an asp.net MVC and a WCF service in a single website. The root site is the MVC application and i am going to run the WCF as a virtual directory of the site. However the service cant be accessed since the routing of the MVC would not relay the request to the service. It would say "Page not Found".
http://PC:9000 <- root of mvc application
I have a virtual directory for the wcf named "wcf",
http://pc:9000/wcf/service.svc <- should have accessed the service but routes of the mvc intervened and will display page not found.
how to make this work? How would i ignore the routing if the call is for the service?
to the <system.web> section of my web.config. However, when I do that I get this error: It is an error to use a section registered as allow Definition=' MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
what else I might need to tweak? Is the comment about it not being configured as an application likely? It's a struggle to get permission to check the IIS settings, and the website works correctly without this section in the config.

it need registry i think so, Now i did't get this error exactly
We have created a website and for the secured files created a virtual directory and in virtual directory properties we selected Application-user(pass through authentication).If any user directly browse the files link then the browser prompts a screen for virtual directory credentials.Here my requirement is i need to send the virtual directory credentials through the application.
Each virtual directory is configured on IIS6.0 as an application with own AppPool.
When redirecting authenticated user from dir1 to dir2 using response.redirect I lose authentication information for the user and the user is being redirected to the login page. This issue was not coming up with each app (dir1 and dir2) were configured under subdomain, ex: [URL]
I have resolved the issue by adding a machine key to the machine.config file.
Our website has all of the publicly accessible pages at the root and private pages (login required) in a folder below the root (call it "private").Private pages are accessed as
www.oursite.com/private/somepage.aspx.I want to run the pages in the private folder in a separate application pool without changing the URL for private users.I tried making the private folder a virtual directory but then the pages in the private folder did not render(I think because it did not find a web.config in the private folder).Is the answer to simply put a copy of the web.config that resides at the root in the private folder or is that problematic?
I have static content like html,css javascript stored in DB. when a user requests for these i create a temp file in virtual directory and return the url. My web app is hosted on a IIS server. On some systems on creation of a file my IIS Application pool crashes and restarts. If i disable file-monitoring though the problem is resolved, but i dont have this luxury when i am deplying at the client end. Is there any way by which i can avoid app pool crash during file creation? If not is there any way by which i can serve static content like html, css, images, xml and js without creating temp files. I would need a generalized way of handling all these data types.
I want to allow each user to create a webpage on our domain. example: www.site.com/username
I've created a few pages that get content from database and place it in a folder. I want each user to be able to edit their own data and when they hit "submit". the system will then copy those pages to a folder and modify the code so it read from the right database.
I keep getting "virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS" errors. Is there any way around this error? I want the process to be 100% automatic so that I don't need to manually go into the server and configure the IIS myself.
I have a WCF service in a virtual directory that is called in the code behind of a page that is in the parent directory, when i debug the code i can see the wcf service is being called, however when the service calls Membership.GetUser() it alway returns null. The user has already logged in to the asp.net site. When i call the service via jquery it does pick up the correct user, but i need to be able to call it via the code behind as well. I am developing in .Net 3.5 how i can make the Wcf pick up the logged in user?
I made a web form on a development website of mine (we'll call it dev.somewhere.com) and tried to publish it out to the web (we'll call it [URL]) in a subfolder. I named it default.aspx like I was supposed to and it worked flawlessly on the dev site. When I published it out the web, I wound up getting the following error when trying to get to the subfolder: [URL] Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed. Confused and flustered, I tried to go to [URL], but I wound up with some error that won't tell me the problem. Instead it tells me to change the my web.config to read <customErrors mode="Off"/>.
As virutal directory points to physical path of the application, so if the IIS root directory is C:inetpubwwwroot and the application is stored at D:websites, than we need to create a virtual directory but if the application content is placed at C:inetpubwwwroot, then why still need to create virtual directory.
-I've to centralize users' passwords in my domain and have visibility of them.
-Each user must change his own password each 3 months.
-Each user must have only one password for the access to Windows,Intranet application and ERP application
Is there a way to block all user accounts periodically and asking them to insert the new password after the logon to windows?after that i could make a query that update the passwrod in Intranet and ERP application.
I have an ASP.Net MVC app, and i have some xsl files inside of the Content directory.I've try a few methods to get directory dynamically buy keep on coming short.So how do i get the directory to point to the Content/xsl folder?the closest that i came to was with this:this.GetType().Assembly.CodeBase
which only returns the project DLL, but i can't figure out how to move up a few levels from there or what .net library to use to navigate around the path.there's no ../.. :(Basically i want to navigate to the Content/xsl folder which is at the same level of the Bin directory.
I set up a Virtual Directory called 'Site'. I browse to [URL].In the source file, the relative paths are coded as '/Page1.aspx', for example, and it has worked in the past.I'm using Win XP Pro SP3 and IIS 5.1. Any ideas on what might be causing this behavior?
