Hi,
I'm having the problem in configuring aspx(asp.net application) website in IIS 7. I've read the walkthroughs from MSDN site and configured successfully as a website in IIS 7, when i configure the same configurations as a virtual directory i can't able to browse my startup page. I've checked all the rights permission but nothing works,
Kindly share your suggestions.

Note: I'm using forms authenticaion.

Regards,
BlueSathish

Perhaps you would be so kind to share the error message. There are about 1,000,000 reasons it won't work so instead of us guessing let's narrow it down a bit.

I didnot got any errors and browse successfully if i browse the page from website in IIS, but I got the below error when i browse the page from virtual directory
"StartIndex cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: startIndex".

At what line of code?

bluesathish 16-Aug-13 8:22am

it shows the errors(when i browse through virtual directory) with the header as like i mentioned the last posted comment.

I know. But your code is crashing at some line. Which line? What is the code giving you that error? It's likely somewhere where you are trying to determine the path.

I thought i've missed something in Virtual directory configuration part. Because the same configuration works great if i configured as a website. could u help?

I have now asked 3 times for which line of code is failing. I am trying to help. Do you have code somewhere that is trying to determine that path? That would be why it is failing in a virtual directory and not as an app. Otherwise, I don't know. I can't see anything you have or anything you have done. Look at the stack trace and find out where there error is coming from.

It doesn't shows any error lines, but it throws inner exceptions from one component called Notes.For Gallery tool in which i mentioned image path to display images as a Thumbnail view. The following code for your reference,
<cc1:Gallery ID="Gallery1" runat="server" FolderUrl="~/Images/Events/" AlbumTitle="Photostream" ImageText="Photo" Size="150" Width="100%" />

No, and use the improve question link to add any more relevant information.

Thats fine, its privacy i know. Thanks.

bluesathish 16-Aug-13 8:55am

have u got any idea about this error in that control i've posted?

ZurdoDev 16-Aug-13 8:57am

~ puts you to the root of the app and since you change to virtual directory it is going up a level which is invalid.

bluesathish 16-Aug-13 9:00am

so you mean to say i've to remove ~ symbol from property as follows FolderUrl="/Images/Events/"
isn't it?

ZurdoDev 16-Aug-13 9:01am

The real question is why don't you make it an application in IIS? Then you should be fine, I believe. Why just a virtual directory? Right click it and choose convert to app.

bluesathish 16-Aug-13 9:03am

I've tried that too. Its also having the same problem.

ZurdoDev 16-Aug-13 9:04am

Can you not have it at the root? It needs to be the root of the application.

bluesathish 16-Aug-13 9:14am

I'll check it and revert you. Thanks for help ryan, i really thankful to you. :-)

Solution 1

first check whether you have given access rights to the folder. run the sql query profiler and check whether it is connecting to the database or not.

No problems with database connection. I thought i've missed something in Virtual directory configuration part.
