froms authentication loginurl not found

[TJS]

i'm having problems where the user is not correctly redirected to login page
if starting in a folder below the webroot.
in these cases, it always tries to go to /foldername/login.aspx

this is the web.config code:
....
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="testAuthCookie" loginUrl="/_security/login.aspx" />
</authentication>
....
how do I reset path so it can find the "/_security/login.aspx " file ??

In the we.config file it needs to be <forms name="testAuthCookie"
loginUrl="_security/login.aspx" />
Note no leading slash

I tried removing leading slash but it still does not find the file.

Thgsi is how mine looks. and it works. Is the underscore part of the folder
name?
<forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="login/default.aspx" timeout="25"></forms>

thanks for the example but I'm still not getting the right outcome.

yes, the underscore is part of the folder name

You forgot the ~ in front of the /. This is .NET way of saying go to the
root of the project and start looking from there.

Before:

<forms name="testAuthCookie" loginUrl="/_security/login.aspx" />

After:

<forms name="testAuthCookie" loginUrl="~/_security/login.aspx" />
