Configuration :: Loading Web.config From Different Directory?
Nov 9, 2010
I want to relocate the web.config outside out of the website root directory.I have already built a wrapper class that will load the web.config AppSettings but how do I tell the .NET engine to load the other settings from the web.config such as sessionstate, customerrors etc.
I am using a Network Solutions (NS) shared hosting account. When adding two domain names to my NS account I originally had my entire hosting folder "/htdoc/" assigned to my first domain. I was instructed by customer service to create a new sub folder for each domain and assign the domain names to each one using my NS account manager. Each website is its own application with vastly different settings At this point my directory looked like this:
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
Naturally I called NS assuming that all they need to do was change a setting so that each sub folder would serve as the main directory for each site. Instead I was told that I need to configure /htdocs/ as its own application with a special web.config file configured to handle this in some way. Of course my next question was how do I configure the web.config to solve this problem and instead of answering the question they said that the question was outside the scope of their customer support.
What I need is simple. Code to add to a web.config with default settings in the /htdocs/ directory that specifies the sub directories as the parent directories for those websites and that no setting in any specifec site should have an effect on any others.
I created a default website from Visual Studio 2010 but it works only when I deploy it on to the root directory. It fails when I publish it onto a sub directory.
An example will be

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'MyWebPage.SiteMaster'.
in MyWeb there are all the aspx page and some entites datamodel, in MyApp there are the class with function like "getter data from DB" and there is a entity data model.
afeter the deploy, I have only the web.config and the connection string for the entity datamodel....itīs run ok, read/write the data on the DB.
The problem is with MyApp.....after the deploy it is a dll file and I donīt have the app.config and the entity inside it donīt run, not read/write nothing on the DB.
There arenīt error or messager but not read/write the data in the MyApp project.
all run on the iis 7
now...the question is:
I lose the connection string (in app.config) after the deploy?
Can I put a entity in the MyWeb and read it in another project (myApp)?
I am developing web applicaiton. I want to read web.config in App.config file. I have appSettings and connectionStrings in web.config. How to read that?
While using a third party dll I was getting the following exception - "exePath must be specified when not running inside a stand alone exe" with following trace
The reason I found was that it was looking for app.config and I had provided the details in web.config. My question is why does the system.configuration differentiate between web.config and app.config.
I upgrade my application from .NET 2.0 to .NET 4.0. Everything went smooth, with very few errors. Now the code is compiling fine, but run time environment is loading the configuration parameters from app.config instead of web.config;Here is my setup:Objects project: has app.configUI project: has web.config, When I run this site, it is fetching the configuration parameters from app.config. Any idea if I need to make any changes to read it from web.config instead of app.config? It used to work fine in my previous environment.
I built my ASP.NET website using vs2008 professional.
Now I have purchased vs2010 professional edition.
I do format my computer and then installed vs2010.
Now I want to deploy my website in vs2010, but it is giving configuration error in <add assemblies...

I have a web.config in a sub directory with an appSetting in it. It does not seem to be picked up and added to the appSettings collection? what I'm doing wrong or how to get round setting directory specific settings?
The directory has this config file
[Code]....
And its picked up (or not) by an ascx control like so
I have a WebSite and I woud like Deny Directory Browser from a web.config file. Here the code I'm using placed in the ROOT. Does not work. I'm testing it Locally so with URL LIKE http://localhost:3214/ I can still browser the directory fro CMS. What I'm doing wrong? Should it work even on Local Machine?
My applications appSettings is located in a virtual directory called "Resources"how to reference it in root web.config files <appSettings file="__??___">
Web.config is the main settings and configuration file for an ASP.NET web application. The file is an XML document that defines configuration information regarding the web application. The web.config file contains information that control module loading, security configuration, session state configuration, and application language and compilation settings. Web.config files can also contain application specific items such as database connection strings
Example 1:
<!-- This is an example Web.config file -->
[Code]....
In this article, we will see how to read the configuration settings in the web.config using 'JavaScript'.
Step 1: Create a new ASP.NET website. Add a button control to the Default.aspx.
Step 2: Right click the project > Add New Item > Web Configuration File
Add the following sample entry to the appSettings section in the web.config between the <configuration> tag as shown in the example 1:
<add key="var1" value="SomeValue"/>
Step 3: To read these entries using JavaScript, add the following script in the <head> tag of your Default.aspx page as shown below:
<head runat="server"> <title></title> <script type="text/javascript"> function ReadConfigSettings() { var v1 = '<%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["var1"].ToString() %>' alert(v1); } </script> </head> Step 4: Call this function on a button click and display the values of the configuration settings
<input type="button" value="Get" onclick="ReadConfigSettings();" /> That's it. Run the application and click the button. The value of the key in the appSettings will be displayed in the alert window. I hope you liked this short article.
I keep getting the all-too-familiar Report Viewer Configuration error, even after double-checking changes in web.config.It worked fine yesterday morning. Then by late afternoon, after I uploaded some site changes, it reverted to throwing the error.Report Viewer Configuration Error The Report Viewer Web Control HTTP Handler has not been registered in the application's web.config file. Add <add verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type = "Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0
I have a virtual directory setup in one of my web apps that needs to not inherit the web.config of the main app so it can run on it's own. I am wondering how I can do this because right now when I hit it (mainwebapp.domain.com/virdir) it throws an error saying it can't find some dependencies that are listed in the main apps web.config (shows main app web.config in the error message), this virdir contains it's own little app that needs to just run standalone.
Here is the problem area:
[code]....
error is on line 145: "Could not load type 'Weborb.ORBHttpHandler'." (this is the parent web.config that it is showing the error in, which I do not want to modify)...
If I add <clear/> to the top of that same block in the child web.config then I get:
"No http handler was found for request type 'GET'"
The example above is specifying that all directories will be locked down to anonymous users except the two directories dir1 and dir2. I'm curious if there is a syntax that I can use that will allow me to define more than one directory within one location element. For example, it would be convenient if we could do something like this...
aspnet_regiis.exe -pdf "connectionStrings" c:web.config And this is the error I got. Error - "The configuration for physical path 'C:Web.Config' cannot be opened. And the permissions of that file is not read only.
I'm preparing to deploy a ASP.NET web application. The target server has already a previous version of my web application with parameters specified on the web.config file.
In the new version of this web application, the web.config file contains new sections I would like they appear into the target web.config file on the server.
However I can't find the way to merge the new web.config sections into the existing web.config file ?
Does I have to do it programmatically, or is there a tool to merge the both files during installation ? (I'm using Web Setup Project).
I had an ASP.NET 1.1 application that I converted to 2.0. I deployed the application under IIS 7 on Windows 2008 Server. I can browse images and static html pages but I can't browse .aspx pages. When I try to run any .aspx page, my browser says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". My application pool is set to .NET framework 2.0 with Integraded in Managed Pipeline mode.
I've deployed a test project onto one of our web servers, and it doesn't appear that the CSS file is taking correctly. The page loads fine, but the styles aren't there. It looked fine in dev, but not now. Any thoughts on what's going on? I'm sure there is an easy solution, but I'm very new to the ASP.NET world.
I have a very serious issue with my ASP.Net server when referencing (indirectly, it's a dependence of a referenced assembly) some third-party assembly.When I connect to the server I obtain this exception :
[Code]....
When I remove the assembly from the "bin" directory the site is accessible and works normally.So what might be the issue and how to get rid of this exception ?I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Professional.
