    Hosting problems

    Hi,

    I have got a shared hosting package with 1&1. It seems to work well.
    However, I have hit a small hosting problem.

    Basically I have 1 domain and 1 subdomain

    www.mydomain.com
    development.myd omain.com

    In my web space I have 2 application directories "Live" and "Developmen t"
    created using Front Page Server Extensions upload from VS dotnet using Copy
    Project.

    If I set the home directory of www.mydomain.com to the root of my web space
    I can access both applications succesfully as www.domain.com/Live and
    www.domain.com/Development. Both applications use the web.config files and
    bin directories contained within their respective directories. Neither
    require web.config or a bin directory in the root.

    However, if I change the home directory of www.domain.com to point to the
    "Live" directory of my web space, it stops working. I believe that even
    though I set the home directory to the "Live" directory the server is
    looking for web.config and the bin directory in the root of my web space.

    Bizzarely I can have one domain's home directoy pointing at the root and one
    pointing at the "Live" folder and the one pointing to the root will work and
    the other won't.

    Any thoughts would be most welcome

    Thanks

    Jim
