Setting up the portal in a sub directory with only one application (root) Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on ASPFriends.com 'aspngibuyspy' list.

The application is also the root folder. I would like to install the portal in a subdirectory (/portalsdk) I have changed all references from Request.ApplicationPath and "~" to PortalSettings.Application Path. I then added the following sub to the configuration.vb file: Public Shared ReadOnly Property ApplicationPath() As String Get Dim req As HttpRequest = HttpContext.Current.Request If req.ApplicationPath = "/portalsdk" Then Return [String].Empty Else Return req.ApplicationPath End If End Get End Property I'm thinking that I need to add some information in the sub so that the correct folder is returned however I'm not sure how to do that. The error I'm getting is: Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Source Error: Line 33: Line 34: ' Ensure that the visiting user has access to the current page Line 35: If PortalSecurity.IsInRoles(_portalSettings.ActiveTab.AuthorizedRoles) = False Then Line 36: Response.Redirect(PortalSettings.ApplicationPath+"/Admin/AccessDenied.aspx") Line 37: End If Source File: M:\web\users\V011U29FIK\html\portalsdk\DesktopDefault.aspx Line: 35 Thanks for all the help.

I want to have my portal in a subdirectory not the root directory. However my hosting company only allows one application per virtual server. This application is set up for the root directory. So I'm trying to run a portal in a subdirectory (/portalvb) from an IIS application in the root (/) Thanks, Jeff Giesbrecht [Original message clipped] -- http://OwnYourOwnBusinessNow.com by http://HealingWithSugars.com -- Reply to this message...        Tom Ward Jeff, I have not read your entire thread but I have set up an IBS portal at a = host that wants the code at the root. What you need to do is go ahead = and place the code in a sub directory using FTP just like you would do = on your own server. Then in the Root directory that the host setup for = you there should be a default.aspx or default.asp or some other default = type file. Edit this file and place a "response.redirect" to you = subdirectory. It should look like this <% = response.redirect("/portalvsvb/default.aspx") %> where portalvsvb is the = name of your subfolder. This of coarse is an asp command and might need = to be slightly different if you use html or some other default type = file. Hope this helps Thomas G.

Yes I also use Maximumasp as my host. However my response from them has been a little different. Dominic and Duncan have both been extreamly helpful and I have been told developers are working right now to fin a fix for the portal issue later this week. They have a KB article on getting the store up and running. I was sent a link to another article on a different site on installing the portal in a sub directory. Basically it mentioned that you had to change all the Request.ApplicationPath to PortalSettings.ApplicationPath with a little sub in the configuration.vb(c#) file. I made that change however I'm still getting the same error and my portal isn't running. The url to my portal is at http://eaglewings.com/portalsdk I can understand not wanting to backoff on security, etc however not being a hardward guru I don't understand why a server can't be set up to allow multipule applications per virtual server. *Sigh* If anyone has information on running the portal in a subdirectory to the main IIS Application directory I should would love to hear about it.
