Virtual Directory not working

I have a site www.stf.com and a site www.stfstage.com (where I do all my
testing).

The problem is that www.stfstage.com is only internal and I need to get
access from the outside (without creating a new domain).

I tried to create a Virtual directory inside my stf site so that I would
access it like: www.stf.com/stage/.

I run as www.stfstage.com fine and have for a long time.

But if I try to do it as www.stf.com/stage/ I get the error:

Re: Virtual Directory not working

Either change the code so that you can run it in a virtual directory
(inside the application itself), or use a separate website with a domain
name you can access from the outside.

Why cannot you create a new domain? It is so cheap to buy a domain name
that it is the easiest solution.

I agree and I suggested this to my boss and will probably do this.

But I still want to find out why this isn't working. It works on another of
our sites but that site doesn't have ScrollKeeper on it. And I did find
that I need to add a tilde to all my paths (~/skins/file.aspx instead of
/skins/file.aspx). Never understood why the tilde was needed, and doesn't
seem to do anything different in a normal website, but in the case of a
virtual directory it does seem to make a difference.

Thanks,

Tom

Re: Virtual Directory not working

Let's say you place the application in the virtual directory
/application/. When you use /skins/file.aspx as path, it starts from the
root of the website, so the full path is /skins/file.aspx. The tilde is
used to refer to the application root (instead of the website root), so
the path will be /application/skins/file.aspx.

I would recommend you to never use absolute paths, but instead either use
relative paths or tilde (in an ASP.NET application).

I agree (now).

But I did find that this didn't work in my code when I use the virtual
directory but did when calling the website (www.stf.com/stage/)



This does work:

The other thing that doesn't seem to work is:



And this doesn't work - I assume as it only works on tags with
"runat=server":

The other thing that doesn't seem to work is:
