Configuring subdirectory authentication mode in applications hosted under root site

Question

On my local machine, I work on multiple web sites and run them under IIS under a \"Default\" web site. That way I can access the sites through this type of URL: http://localhos

Answer 1

You can solve this by running the apps as Virtual Directories, they will then get separated processes in the application pool or you can have one for each app, still you directories etc will still be accessed the same way.

I think you will need a web.config file in the root directory even if its more or less empty and set the allowSubDirConfig to true.
