    Application Folder

    Hello, I am taking ASP.Net at school and I have run into differences
    between running the code at home and running it at school.

    I have a couple of issues which I believe are related to the folder
    under which I am running my application on is not designated as an
    "applicatio n folder" so things like Forms authentication does not
    function correctly.

    I have not been successfull in getting the school to change the folder
    to an application folder, so I was wondering how I would go about
    setting the same situation up on my home machine to "validate" that this
    is the root cause of my issues.

    Using Windows Explorer, I created a directory in WWWRoot and ported over
    my application. When I do, the application does fail and I get a
    "different error" message, but It is failing right in the web.config
    file on the <authentication . On the school machine it was giving me an
    error about "<customErrors" , but that was a bogus message.

    Now what exactly would I now need to do to make this folder an
    "applicatio n folder", so that I can see the problem "go away".

    Thanks in advance for your assitance!!!!!! !

      Re: Application Folder

      Under the control panel, go to administrative tools, open up the IIS applet,
      navigate to the tree to find the folder you want to set up as an
      application, right click on that folder and select properties, and under
      application settings click on create.
