From what i've read here it seems this may not be possible. I would just like to confirm this is the case, and forgive me if its an noob question.
I have an existing site which I will need to run, its more of a web application then website, so I can't use umbraco for it. But I want to use Umbraco for all content pages except a handful custom ones. Ideally the custom non-umbraco pages would be wrapped by umbraco to maintain consistency of site navigation etc.
As you've probably read, umbraco is designed to be running from the root of the site, and not in a virtual directory below.
But anyway, there's lot's of sites around that are Umbraco based, and has special pages with web-application features. If you're trying to get a site up and running with umbraco maintained pages, and a handful custom pages, I would recommend porting the custom pages you need to asp.net usercontrols, and then use these usercontrols in Umbraco.
Theres a video explaining how to use usercontrols in Umbraco here:
I did a website recently that was ported over from classic ASP. There a couple of sections (customer admin stuff) which couldn't be moved into Umbraco at the time, so I run those sections in the same hosting space, alongside Umbraco. You just need to add the folder(s) to the "umbracoReservedPaths" key in the web.config.
can you run alongside existing application

thanks for your time.
