1) For point one, if you're working locally only and want to map meaningful names to hosted sites you could update your hosts file to add name resolution, i.e.:
2) For point two, no your website can be in any folder provided it has the correct permissions applied (for instance, IUSR and NetworkService likely need read+/write access).
3) For point three, this could perhaps happen for a couple of reasons; what version of Umbraco are you using? Double check the application pool .NET Framework version is correct for the Umbraco instance:
IIS Manager -> Application Pools -> Double-click Application Pool Name -> Set Framework version
Yep you can install multiple versions on the same system. You need to use host headers (bindings) within IIS to map which domain name you want to go to which site (directory). It all should be good though then.
You can also put the site wherever you want you just need to make sure that the IIS process account has the correct priviliges onto the file system. The IIS process normally runs under an application pool account so the user would be IIS APPPOOL/application pool name but this is dependent on how you have your server setup.
The configuration section could be due to the permissions - did the site work before you moved it to c:\staging?
installing umbracco
Hi,
I have one version of umbraco which is installed directly in wwwroot. I want to install another. Questions
- Can I set up alias for the sites rather than call them locahost:80 and localhost:8080?
- Does my site always have to be in my site always have to be in the wwwroot folder?
- I am trying to set my new site in c:\staging but get an error
The configuration section 'system.web.extensions' cannot be read because it is missing a section declaration
170: <!-- ASPNETAJAX -->
171: <system.web.extensions>
172: <scripting>
I have always worked in a LAMP environment (though umbraco looks great) so sorrry for the stupid questions.
Very, very few questions are silly...

Thanks for the replies - I had to add .net version4 to the application pool. Still working through issues
is working on a reply...
