IIS configuration for application in default website
I had an IIS application (asp.net v 4) that was running fine. Then I wanted to run it under the default website (so I could use a UCC ssl). I created a virtual directory under the default website, and then converted it to an application. But when I run it, I get the error "Failed to map the path '/sitename'.
Some initial research suggests it was because of the '/ that precedes the name, however, I can't remove it.
Can someone direct to solve this problem?

Make sure the IUSR and Network service has permissions to the location where your virtual dir is located.
The path also takes back slash? \Abc instead of /Abc.

Ok, that's done, but problem remains. I noticed that the locations also give access to the defaultapppool, but this application uses a custom application pool (let's call it myapppool). I thought that myapppool should also have access to the directory, but didn't see how to add that as an entity when I was setting directory permissions. Do you think this is needed too?
