Different websites running from different subfolders?

[zalucius]

Hi,

I'm currently running into a bit of a problem.
All I want is to have a collection of "independant" subfolders, from where I can run seperate asp.net websites.

An example of my folder structure:

www.domain.com
|-- [group1]
|-- |-- [site1] (root of "site 1", with local Web.Config)
|-- |-- [site2] (root of "site 2", with local Web.Config)
|-- '-- [site3] (root of "site 3", with local Web.Config)
|-- [group2]
|-- |-- [site4] (root of "site 4", with local Web.Config)
'-- '-- [site5] (root of "site 5", with local Web.Config)

The problem I am running into, is that I have been using the tilde in my paths, when developing on my local system using VWD 2008 Express.
Apparently the "~/" is looking for the "absolute" root of the website, not the "local" root, atleast not in the way I want it to behave.
Furthermore, the websites are running on a hosted webserver, where I have no access for modifying any "machine" configuration.
This leaves me to rely on the web.config file.

The question is how do I set up the server with the web.config, and how do I prevent each "subsite" to look for the absolute root, instead of the folder where the "subsite's" web.config fil is located?

I hope anyone can point me in the right direction, this is beginning to annoy me

I wonder if I placed this post in the wrong forum?

Any assistance with this problem would be appreciated.

You define each [sitex] as an "application" in IIS. You write URL root-relative references as "~/page.aspx". Defining the directories as applications in IIS requires your host to support this.

Thanks for your reply honeymonster, even though the news wasn't good.

Back to the drawingboard, and rethink the concept..
