  1. web.config inheritance can be a real nightmare.

    One of the steps you should take is redundancy in your /bin/ folders.

    The next, tougher step, is to add and remove inheritant web.config sections.

    Google for a ton of other references to this.
     
  2. web.config inheritence... guess I'm stepping up to the next level of asp.net goodness [​IMG]

  3. I have an asp.net app working in my website root directory.

    I create a subdirectory /all/wiki and assign /wikias an asp.net application.

    I install my wiki app into /all/wiki and run it for the first time (Screwturn wiki).

    I get a compilation error when it initializes, and based on the error contents, I can see that it's referencing the web.config file from my ROOT directory application, instead of the web.config from the root of the /all/wiki application directory.

    What am I missing here? Why would the app in /all/wiki/ reference the web.config in / ?

    Thanks,
    John
