I have a site www.stf.com and a site www.stfstage.com (where I do all my 
testing).

The problem is that www.stfstage.com is only internal and I need to get 
access from the outside (without creating a new domain).

I tried to create a Virtual directory inside my stf site so that I would 
access it like: www.stf.com/stage/.

I run as www.stfstage.com fine and have for a long time.

But if I try to do it as www.stf.com/stage/ I get the error:

Scrollkeeper is apparently causing the problem but only as a Virtual 
directory.  It works fine when I access it as www.stfstage.com.

If I take out the ScrollKeeper sections it seems to have a problem with 
virtual paths and gets an error:
***************************************************************************************
The virtual path '/skins/mth/MainPage.ascx' maps to another application, 
which is not allowed.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the

Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: The virtual path

allowed.

Source Error:

Line 27:    navigation = "NavigateTop" & ".ascx"
Line 28:   end if
Line 29:   pageControl = LoadControl(thePage)
Line 30:   thePlaceHolder.Controls.Add(pageControl)

CType(thePlaceHolder.FindControl("_ctl0:Navigation"),Control)

Source File: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\StfStage\jobSeeker\displaycompanyJobs.aspx

My code that is causing the problem is:

   tePage = "/skins/" & session("CompanyInitials") & "/" & "MainPage" & 
".ascx"
  pageControl = LoadControl(thePage)

How can I make this work in my scenario - or can I?

Thanks,

Tom

1. web.config files are inheritable.
So in your case when you have www.stf.com/stage/ ASP.NET takes web.config 
from www.stf.com folder and merges it with www.stf.com/stage/ folder. That 
is why you get an error "The module 'ScollKeeperModule' is already in the 
application and cannot be added again"

2. When you go by www.stf.com/stage/ your root is considered to be 
www.stf.com and /stage/ is subfolder. so when you refer to your controls as 
'/skins/mth/MainPage.ascx'  you actually refer to 
www.stf.com/skins/mth/MainPage.ascx which is another application and you can 
not do that. And ASP.NET pollitely tells you about it.

You should use ~/ so it will be '~/skins/mth/MainPage.ascx'. ~ symbol means 
in root of application. So in your case the ASP.NET will translate it as 
www.stf.com/stage/skins/mth/MainPage.ascx

You can use ~ anywere in a code that processed by ASP.NET
Example:
<img src="~/myimge.gif"> -- will not work.  The ASP.NET does not parse plain 
HTML.
<img src="~/myimge.gif" runat=server> --will work correctly. ASP.NET parses 
out any tag that marked as runat=server.
