web.config in a directory that isnt the root of the website.

Hello,

I would like to put the web.config in a directory that isn't the root of the application (for example a subdirectory). Is it possible ?

Thank you in advance for any feedback,

regards,

I think you have to have the web.config in the root since it loads from that. however, you may have more than one web.config as I do in many of my apps. The only section that is being used in them in subdirectories however is <configuration> with access permissions for users since some of my subdirectories are restricted to Admin only users. I hope this helps a little.

You may place web.config files in subdirectories. These files in the subdirectories override the settings of the web.config in the application root. This is typically done to change security permissions for the directory. However, this can also be done with a little extra work in the root web.config.
