Installing BlogEngine via Web Application Gallery

If I install BlogEngine.net via the Web Application Gallery am I giving up anything as far as the ability to customize BlogEngine.net? One of the main things I need to do is install BE in a sub-directory (i.e. example.com/blogs). I may also need to do other customizations though beyond just skinning BE. My DASP server type is Windows 2008 - IIS 7.0.

 

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I am having issues installing BlogEngine.net via the web app gallery. I'm trying to install it in a subdirectory of my site (.net 4.0 web application) and am getting the following config error when navigating to the site:

There is a duplicate 'system.web.extensions/scripting/scriptResourceHandler' section defined

 

...Look at the post by Alex here:

You should be able to safely remove those references from BlogEngine.net

 

Thanks wisemx.

I removed the following sections from the BlogEngine web.config and was able to log on to the site

Code:

<sectionGroup name="system.web.extensions" type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
      <sectionGroup name="scripting" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingSectionGroup, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
        <section name="scriptResourceHandler" type="System.Web.Configuration.ScriptingScriptResourceHandlerSection, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" allowDefinition="MachineToApplication"/>

        </sectionGroup>
      </sectionGroup>
    </sectionGroup>

Now on to the next error

 

...Good job ;-)
