can you rename this item

[Guest]

hey all,

i was just wondering if you name the web.config any name as long as it has
the .config? True or False, why.

thanks,

No, you cannot rename it. Why? Because ASP.Net looks for it by name.

well, for whatever reason, the web host i'm using on the internet requires me
to place my dll files and web.config in my root folder and in the application
root. I'm sharing the root with 2 other people so I guess we're going to have
to share the web.config.

And share the default.aspx?? etc etc What do you mean "share the root with
2 other people"? Are you all working on the same web site?

yes, we are using and sharing a web site with 1and1.com. apparently this is
the way we have to deploy a .net project. our root directory and what ever
app directory we use, the dlls and the web.config have to copied to both.

You will then have to merge your web.config file with any other which
exists. This is asking for some pain because you may overwrite some settings
of an existing web.config or vice-versa

How do users browse to each individual website, if they share the same
physical directory? You each agree to have a unique home page?

I would get a different ISP. So you have to agree to never use similar
filenames??
