I have DNN installed in root directory.

I have another ASP.NET application in the "calendar" directory that runs off of a MS Access database in the same directory.  It also has it's own web.config in the calendar directory.

It seems like the application in the calendar directory is trying to inherit the DNN web.config in the root.

I think I need to set the property like this:

1. <location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">  
2. <system.web>  
3.  ...  
4. </system.web>  
5. </location> 
   

However, I do not know where exactly to put it in the web.config for DNN.  Do I need to change the path?  I tried putting

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">  right before system.web and then closing the tag after system.web closed, but to no avail.

There's an article about this:

Anyone know how to do this specifically for DNN?  Also, if I disable inheritance in web.config, would it screw up all of the other directories needed by DNN?

even if using an application in a virtual directory do not nest physical folder location. place your application in a different directory and integrate virtually only.

Not sure which version of DNN version you are using, but you might find with later versions of DNN this doesn't work.
