Can you specify allowSubDirConfig in the web.config

Question

Is it possible to set the allowSubDirConfig to False in the web.config of the actual virtualdirectory?

Answer 1

Hi, I am also looking for this answer. I cannot find much information about this configuration: "allowSubDirConfig" in "webServer.sites"

I was also trying to find this configuration in IIS Manager but there isn't.

It sounds really simple but they have made IIS7 really complicated. In IIS6 this problem didn't exist.

Answer 2

No, it is not possible to set it in the web.config, this is a property in the Virtual Directory level that has to be specified inside ApplicationHost.config. It is only exposed in IIS Manager inside Configuration Editor since it is an advanced setting that is not commonly required.
