Hi, I have a problem with physical and virtual directories on my shared windows hosting account, where it's IIS6 and I manage my hosting via Dot Net Panel (2.8.4).
I have installed a copy of BlogEngine.net into wwwroot\myblog, and created a virtual directory mydomain.co.uk\blog to point to it. My hoster has enabled my domain to run Applications, and the site works fine.
But of course, both the physical and the virtual are exposed on the Internet, and anyone trying the physical get the standard ASP error saying that the directory is not configured as an application.
I can cover this up of course by making the physical and the virtual the same, such as wwwroot\blog, and mydomain.co.uk\blog.
So what is the normal appoach to installing ASP apps. Should I install off my wwwroot and use only the virtual to expose to the Internet? (I've not tried this). Or is there something else I need to to control access.
thanks John
