Can I upload two web applications on the same web domain using ASP.NET?

Is it possible to publish two web applications on the same webdomain? Currently when I try to do this, it gives 500 server error.

Also, these two web apps will have two 开发者_StackOverflow中文版different webconfig files. So is that okay?

I plan to publish these two web applications not in root but in seperate folders other than root.

Please let me know.

Yes, it's possible. They should also run in separate application pools. They should both be written in the same version of .Net that is being run in the root directory. If there is a difference, you may run into web.config errors regarding unsupported keys. Preferably if there must be a difference, you will want the newer version to be in the sub-folder since backwards compatibility will allow deprecated elements to be tolerated.

Edit:
Also: Each sub-folder will need to be configured as a separate "Virtual Directory" and run with a separate application name. If they share an application pool and potentially an application name, you may have object collisions and memory usage problems.
