    Installing umbraco in subfolder... works?

    I installed umbraco using the Web Platform Installer.

    I entered Umbraco as the application name and installed it.
    The installation path became "wwwroot\Umbraco\".

    Later I read that I was not supposed to install it this way,
    Nevertheless, the installation works fine, and it has been running without problems since March.

    Is it just bad information lying around or is it supposed to work?

    is it running as a virtual folder in IIS? That's not supported.

    There's nothing wrong with having it in a sub-folder of the wwwroot. In fact I always have them like that, I just have different IIS applications. My wwwroot looks something like this:

    \aaron-powell.com

    \umbraco4

    \umbraco-demo

    (and so on)

     

    Each of those folders map to a different IIS application, where I have different host headers so I can access them.

    One of the reasons that running Umbraco in a virtual folder isn't supported is there is a lot of code which has expectations that it's at the web-root (/) level of the application.

    Ok. Seems it is me who have misunderstood. My installation is not installed in a virtual folder, but in a subfolder.

    Thanks for the clear-up!
