Default Multi folder web app
Hey guys
I have an app where i have some folders like admin, members.
So i have set them as virtual directories to run.
Then i have used formsauthenication for login in each folder's login page.

Do i need web.config in each folder?
At this moment i have this in my web.config which resides in root
Code:
    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms name="site" loginUrl="default.aspx" protection="All" path="/" timeout="30">        
      </forms>
    </authentication>

I think if you have them setup as seperate folders then you would need a seperate web.config for each...I think if you just setup the root as an app, you could still use sub folders for different sections, then they would all be handled by the root web.config...I think....

Do the pages in the sub folder still work if you don't have them setup as virtual folders?

micky, you're confusing me..

You say you always set the folders up as virtual directories, then you say you haven't tried not setting them up...

Yeah, you would have to set the root of the app up, but then I believe sub folders of this root would use the same web.config....In the same way your App_Code, App_Data etc. folders use the same web.config...

I'm not entirely sure micky.....I would have said that setting up each sub folder as a virtual folder means you'd need a seperate web.config in each virtual folder.

If you just setup the root of the app as a virtual folder and had normal sub folders then they would use the web.config in the root of the app....

I think.... Not entirely sure though...

No, a config file is not needed for each directory within an application. It will inherit from the root web.config. However, if you wanted to handle things like authorization, you could place a web.config file in the specific sub directory with the authorization information...but this can also be handled in the root web.config file.
