How to set Allow Parent Paths in IIS Express Config
I am running a classic asp web site in IISexpress.
The same web site is also used in IIS 7.5 in a w7 pro and works fine enabling the parent paths in the IIS configuration of the web but trying to use the web.config in IISExpress does not work
The problem that I am experiencing is that in the suggested web.config in order to enable the parent paths:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<asp
enableParentPaths="true"
bufferingOn="true"
errorsToNTLog="true"
appAllowDebugging="true"
appAllowClientDebug="true"
scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true">
<session allowSessionState="true" />
<cache diskTemplateCacheDirectory="%TEMP%\iisexpress\ASP Compiled Templates" />
<limits />
</asp>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I get a 500 error every time that I try to use any asp tag
If I remove the asp tag it all works fine,
Anybody has a clue?
TIA

You have not read carefully. The configuration file that mentioned isn't
web.config
. It isapplicationHost.config
. As a shotcut:Press Win+R
type
hit ⏎.
This will open the host configuration file with notepad. You need to find your web site's section. It's something like
<location path="YourSiteName"> ... </location>
. Look inside that node, find the<asp>
section and change with yours. Finally, don't forget to remove the asp section fromweb.config
.
