    Help with installation issues...

    Hi I have this strange problem and I want to know if I can safely move Umbraco files and folders in a sub-folder but still use the same DB. It gets a bit complicated!

    On a client install of umbraco, everything was working fine until I tried to add a .NET usercontrol to the usercontrol folder (and the dll to the bin). The usecontrol does not appear in the macro dropdown. I have tried typing in the name of the usercontrol, /usercontrols/ProductsMenu.ascx, /ProductsMenu.ascx, umbraco/usercontrols/ProductsMenu.ascx

    But I just keep geeing the following error:

    User control doesn't exist

    Please verify that you've copied the file to: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\vhosts\mywebsite\ProductsMenu.ascx or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\vhosts\mywebsite\usercontrols\ProductsMenu.ascx or C:\inetpub\wwwroot\vhosts\mywebsite\umbraco\usercontrols\ProductsMenu.ascx

    So I started to look into this and there are a few stranage issues.  The install was done by a server guy at the clients site (I cannot access the remote computer or database).  Originally the install was done in a sub folder called Umbraco - so to access the site you would have to go to test.mywebsite.com.au/umbraco/page1.aspx
    I got back to the client and said that Umbraco needs to be installed in the root (as per the install instructions) and that maybe they should do a clean install on a new test application.  So they created test2.mywebsite.com.au and now I can view the site via test2.mywebsite.com.au/page1.aspx - so all appears to be good. 
    Except the Umbraco files are still in a sub-folder called Umbraco - but the site works except for the usercontrol issue I mentioned above adn not being able to add in an UmbracoReservedPath in the config file.
    Any ideas on what is going on?

    Verify the reserved paths in the web.config... they should begin with ~/ instead of /
