Web.Config Issues

I have an ASP.NET web application that has a web.config file in the website's parent directory. I have another folder in the website which has another asp.net application. The folder开发者_高级运维 also has a web.config directory for itself. When I run the application within the sub folder, it throws error and somehow these errors are related to references in root level application.

Initially it threw this error: code sub directory doesnt exist, . I added a dummy folder for this within the application in the sub folder but it seems to be looking for more references. is there a way to resolve this issue.

Parent application has it's own config and the application within Sub folder has it's own web.config. Whe i run the appl within sub folder, it is trying to use the web.config from parent application not it's own.

Thanks Jay

you must clarify this:

I have an ASP.NET web application that has a web.config file in the website's parent directory. I have another folder in the website which has another asp.net application. The folder also has a web.config directory for itself.

1. are you telling us you installed a web app and its web.config is not in the same folder but in a parent folder? This is wrong!

2. your other folder contains an asp.net application which has a web.config directory!?!?

in ASP.NET for nested or not nested applications you should basically have the web.config in the same folder where you have the default.aspx page and the bin sub-folder, if the web.config is not there but in any parent or child folder, it won't work, most likely.

I am assuming things here as you do not explain much, edit the question with more details and I will edit this answer :)
