Deploying MP Alongisde other Apps

Hi,

I am attempting to run another .Net application from the same website I have a Mojoportal instance. (IIS6, MP 2.2.6.4 MSSQL).
 

Having created a new virtual directory for my application, the Mojoportal Web.Config is being inherited by my application, causing it not to work. I understand that Web.Config inheritance is by design and is usually a desirable feature.

Instructions to stop Inheritance of Web.Config can be found from http://forums.asp.net/p/1119582/1966162.aspx#1966162:

You can stop web.config inheritance by adding

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
<system.web>
...
</system.web>
</location>

I can stop the Web.Config being inherited by my application, but this also stops the special MojoPortal folders like "Admin" from working.

If I knew how to add multiple paths like <location path=".,Admin,x,y,z" ... > that would be ideal, but I haven't found out how to do that yet.

How is everyone else managing to deploy other applications along-side Mojoportal?

Many thanks,

Kenny

In fact, the previous post was in error. This does NOT stop the "Admin" pages from working. Perhaps this will do the trick after all.

Re: Deploying MP Alongisde other Apps

Hi Kenny,

Yes it should solve it. A similar discussion of this technique is here:

http://aspadvice.com/blogs/ssmith/archive/2006/08/21/HttpModule-Breaks-SubApplications-Problem-Solved.aspx

The situation is if you have a Web site say at localhost or any root level site, and you have mojoportal running as a Virtual Directory/application beneath it, if there is a Web.config file un the folder corresponding to localhost or the root site, it will by default pass settings down to the Virtual Directory/Applications beneath it. This technique is a way to overcome that problem. It should also help in reverse, if you have mojoportal running at the root and some other app as a Virtual Directory/Application beneath it.

Best,

Joe
