Installation error

Hi Joe,

Just installed a new version of 2212 (newly built files and brand new db) and am getting

The path '/mojo2212/Web/App_GlobalResources/' maps to a directory outside this application, which is not supported.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Colin

Re: Installation error

Is this in a hosted environment using release files or a development machine using source code?

Sounds like the Web folder doesn't correspond to the IIS web application root. If in a hosted environment I think you uploaded the files to the wrong location. The contents of the Web folder in the download should be uploaded to the web root at the host, not in a sub folder.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Installation error

Dev PC using source files.

The 'web' folder is set up as dotnet application as per all the other version I've used (I then deploy to our web server when everything is OK)

"Sounds like the Web folder doesn't correspond to the IIS web application root"

it doesn't but previous versions worked this way OK for me

Re: Installation error

so your url is localhost/somefolder and somefolder is an IIS virtual directory configured for ASP.NET 2.0 and the App_GlobalResources folder is directly beneath somefolder?

That should work. If there is a web app with another web.config file above the somefolder it could cause a problem. Other than that I can't think of what is causing that unless there is some virtual folder mapping on your dev machine that is making App_GlobalResources appear to be outside of the somefolder virtual directory

Re: Installation error

Just created a virtual IIS folder (never done this locally before but will do in future) and all seems well now.

Thanks again for your time Joe.
