I have a website independently developed that I want to integrate with DNN such that I have a link on a DNN page established to it.

This 'private' site has its own bin, web.config, authentication db, etc.  I simply want to use DNN as a front-end to authenticate users for forums, announcements, etc.

Nothing about DNN is used after that.  When I create my folder, and make it a application/virtual directory, place it withing the DNN structure and then try to access it, I get a runtime-error in the web.config of DNN and never get to my sub-site.

I've turned off customerrors and get a 'configuration error :

Line 110:      -->
Line 111:      <codeSubDirectories>
Line 112:        <add directoryName="HTML" />
Line 113:      </codeSubDirectories>
Line 114:    </compilation>

If setting up my own sub-website within DNN is not possible, I'll drop DNN in favor of my development website and find alternatives to forums and announcements.

Help is appreciated ASAP since I' under a time constraint.
