Apologies if this has been discussed, but I think the scenario I have in mind is perhaps a little different to most.
We have a legacy website www.clientx.com. Developed mostly as flat HTML pages, with a couple of basic asp.net pages that have forms on them. We have a project to develop a new microsite for them (approx 50 pages) and the desire is for it to be located in a subdirectory e.g. www.clientx.com/campaignA which will be advertised.
Now I would like to do the microsite in Umbraco, but obviously am worried about whether it will work as a subdirectory?
The second thing is sometime further down the line (8-12 months) I would like to get the original site redeveloped using Umbraco. Will I be ruling this out as a possibility if we use Umbraco for the microsite and place it in a subdirectory of the main site?
Current umbraco can't run under subdirectory, but you can use 3rd level domain like campaignA.clientx.com. Maybe with some urlrewriting magic it can looks like it run in subdirectory..
Or you can try beta of 4.1 which should support running in subdirectory. We all hope it will be in RTM before your start redeveloping your current site
Any update on this question? The thread is 11 years old so hopefully that has given Umbraco enough time to enable this functionality. But I cannot find any directions or confirmation that installing into a subdirectory works with Umbraco.

Hope that makes sense!!

Tristan,
Current version of umbraco does not support installing umbraco in a subdir, it must be installed at the root of the web.
Might be an option to move the legacy web to a subdir and have it ignored by umbraco using a settings in web.config/
Cheers,

if it's mostly html pages, then umbraco will ignore these anyway, how about adding the existing aspx pages to
thanks for the guidance - I shall see how I get on with it
