I'm using Windows Server 2003
I have this phycical structure directories
c:/Inetpub/Webapp_1
c:/InetPub/Webapp_2
Config file paths:
c:/Inetpub/Webapp_1/web.co
c:/Inetpub/Webapp_2/web.co
I have this IIS setup
WebApp_1 setup as a web site pointing to c:/InetPub/Webapp_1
WebApp_2 setup as a virtual directory inside WebApp_1 pointing to c:/InetPub/Webapp_1
both are setup as applications, and use the same application pool.
When I goto www.mysite.com (which maps to WebApp_1) the application works fine.
When I goto www.mySite.com/WebApp_2 the site crashes
The crash I'm getting is caused because some DLL's which are refferenced in the config file for WebApp_1 are NOT in the bin directory of WebApp_2. WebApp_2 has it's own web.config file.
Why is the config file for WebApp_1 being used when I access WebApp_2? What can I do to stop this?
I had thought that by creating a virtural directory I would not be required to use the config file for webapp_1.

Lookup inheritance.
It sounds like it is inheriting some things from the other app.
You can use remove statments in the failing applications web.config to remove the specific references that are causing trouble, or in both web configs try adding the following tags around the entire config files.
These should stop either appliations inherting from each other, i think.
