Web.Config (location path=)Question

[Patrick Olurotimi Ige]

I have a Virtual directory FORUMS and the a folder CORP under that
Directory.
And i want to add a location path to this folder in web.config but after
trying the below code it doesn't seem to WORK!!


Am i missing something ??

<location path="/Forums/CORP">
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off" />
<authorization>
<allow roles="Corp_Manag/>
<deny users="?" />
<authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

I THINK MAYBE I'M NOT PUTTING THE ABOVE CODE IN THE RIGHT PLACE BECOS
I'M INCLUDING IT IN THE DEFAULT WEB.CONFIG GENERATED BY VSTUDIO.NET

Where are you placing this in the Web.Config?

Matt i placed it in the Directory folder!
I got it working but i noticed can't use:-
<location path="/Forums/CORP">
It has to be a FOLDER name or a file name only
for example <location path="Forums"> or just use
<location path="Forums.aspx">
Any other ideas?

<location> must be inside the <configuration> element -- make sure you have
that in the web.config that's in the child directory.

You should place your 'location path' tag at the root of the main folder
web config file. Right after the web.config's </system.web> tag.
