Hosting BlogEngine.NET

I've found some more information that relates to my problem.

The problem arises from hosting BlogEngine.NET in IIS 7.0

I found a thread in the BlogEngine.NET forum that seems to fit the symptoms I'm experiencing. http://www.codeplex.com/blogengine/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=21124

I quickly attempted the modification of the web.config, to no success.

For the second solution:

By using remote IIS Manager, I should be able to setup a classic app pool. However, I'm not sure how I could run the cmd line command against the DiscountASP account.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

 

I'm trying to setup my instance of blogEngine.NET but I'm running into virtualpath issues.

Currently, when you visit the site none of the style show up and I have problems with paths not being correct. You can see for yourself at www.chrisnicol.com

The site works fine, both from development and run locally on IIS. The problem I believe is do to with permissions. I've gone to the 'Permission Manager' to make sure that ?anonymous? user has both read and write ... but it states that 'No Users Exist' ... I have two users in the User Manager, but I'm not sure why I can't add them on the permission manager.

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks Bruce, that fixed the problem.

However, now I'm not taking full advantage of the managed pipeline. I found an article that will migrate the configuration of the site, so that it can be run under an managed pipeline.

The problem is that it's a command that needs to be run from a command prompt. Obviously I don't have a command prompt to access through the web tool. Is it possible to coordinate with support at DiscountASP in order for this command to be run.

The command is as follows:

%systemroot%\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe migrate config 'blogengine/'

where 'blogengine' is the name of your IIS web site.

Thanks again,

Chris

 

Thanks Bruce ... and agreed ... MS doesn't always think these things through
