OT: ASP.NET

[runaway_vibrator]

I know that this place may not be my best bet for posting an ASP.NET ....but
here goes..maybe theres someone out there with an answer. My hosting provider
only allows one web.config in the root directory. I have multiple applications
that use forms authentication. Im wondering if anyone knows the way of setting
up the web config for multiple applications rather than one for each directory.

Change hosts.

is there not a location tag or something that can define where each application should be set up...ive just moved to the host away from another host. Everything else about them has been 100%.

The application folder needs to be set within IIS itself. Unless they give
you some means to do that remotely, they have to do it for you. If they
don't want to do it, find another host.

The root is going to be established by the hosting provider. That's the way
it is and no hosting provider that is legally sane is going to provide
access to his file system. To even suggest moving to another host who may do
so sounds ludicrous.

Secondly, most host providers now have control panels that allow virtual
applications to be created under the root. Its all self-service.

Finally, the DNF does not support multiple web.config files in the same
directory (the same application root). We have to put a web.config into the
root of each virtual application if we do not want that virtual application
to inherit the web.config settings from those instances in the file system
that are located above the instance. If there is no instance in the root of
the web itself the machine.config settings are used.

No one mentiond accessing the file system.

This kinof contradicts your comments on moving to another host being
ludicrous, obviously runaway_vibrator's host is not one of those "Most
Hosts" you mention, so moving to one of those hosts is a possible solution.

No one said this was supported.
