I am trying to setup a asp.net application that has a link that points to another asp.net application.  Both apps are hosted on the same server (Godaddy.com) each with their own web config files. The secondary application is in a subfolder of the main application.  I can navigate to the first application, but when I click the link for the second app, I received some kind of error related to the second applications web config file.  Are there special parameters/settings I need for the second web config  to work?  Is there any way to have two asp.net applications  hosted on the same server?

What was the error message?

Can you access the secondary directly by a direct URL? If so change the format of your  link to the second app to use the full URL.

hi,

There are a difference between - 1 application with 2 web.config files by example, and 2 different applications...

If you have 2 applications, you should create a second virtual directory for the second application in the IIS console (I mean to be application folder).

Regards

 What was the error message?

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.  This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.


Can you access the secondary directly by a direct URL?

 No.  Typing the full URL into the second browser gives the same error as above.
 

This is 2 applications hosted on one server.  Each applications has its own web config.  Someone mentioned  creating a second virtual directory for the second application in the IIS console (application folder). However, I am unsure of how to do this on hosted environment owned by Godaddy.com.   Any suggestions ?

 Given the negative comments about GoDaddy, either move to a more flexible hoster or combine the two sites.

here is support site from godaddy http://help.godaddy.com/article_list.php?topic_id=173 - not all plans will allow you to do this

BTW here are 2 hosting companies i can recommend

WebHost4life - good prices & good support . for 9.95/m you can have great plan and you can host up to 8 web app. (you will pay only 15/year for 2nd, 3rd web site...)

CrystalTech - best host ever ! super servers & pro support good plan with MS SQL & mySQL, .net, ajax , Smarter Stats & Smarter Mail from 16.95/m

Follow the steps here to setup the second directory http://help.godaddy.com/article.php?article_id=300&topic_id=173

Good Luck, let us know how you get on.

 Really? When I think .net application, especially two on the same site, the last thing I think of is godaddy.... Anyway you can run as many different .net applications as you want under one site as long as us seperate them in their own folders with application starting points created.

 Jeremyh,

Thanks.  The link you provided helped. I was able to get the two applications to work.  Thanks again.
