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.
Help with installation issues...

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