Hi, Please can someone confirm the correct installation approach for use with WIndows Shared hosting (yes, Full trust is given) where Umbraco should NOT physically be in the webserver's root, but only appear to.
This is for version 4.5.1 for .Net3.5
1. Am I correct, usage in a physical sub-dir is not supported but a virtual directory is? 2. Some URL re-writing is need to make Umbraco appear as if in the webserver's root? 3. Do I need to use Sub-Domains for this? 4. Example. An installation has been successfully made to www.mydomain.com/umbraco1 but this does not work when browsing directly (css files are missed). Does Umbraco incorporate some web.config settings so that Umbraco appears to be in www.mydomain.com Or do I need to use ISAPI rewrite to acheive this.
A virtual directory (to the best of my knowledge) can't be mapped to a (sub)domain.
You just have to make sure in your templates to refer to the source of files as /umbraco1/styles.css or /umbraco1/jquery.js and so on. I believe that that's all there is to it.

Yes, you need a vdir, just a subdir won't work.
A virtual directory (to the best of my knowledge) can't be mapped to a (sub)domain.
