How do you prevent the IIS default site web.config file being inherited by virtual directories?

Question

I have the following code in a web.config file of the default IIS site.

Answer 1

I've found the answer. Wrap the HttpModule section in location tags and set the inheritInChildApplications attribute to false.

Now any virtual directories will not inherit the settings in this location section.

@GateKiller This isn't another website, its a virtual directory so inheritance does occur.

@petrich I've had hit and miss results using . I have to remember to add it to every virtual directory which is a pain.
