Hi Russ, Yes that's correct and I thought I had it right: dev server d:\myApp and have my app set up in IIS and host file set, so in the browser I have: http://myApp and everything works fine
in prod d:\domain is the webRoot and myApp is a folder bellow like this: d:\domain\myApp\utils\ and call it like http://www.domain.com/myApp and I get the error. A dump of mappings show /domain which in my mind should work fine but it doesn't (with absolute path) so obviously I misunderstand something but cant figure out what :( Thanks Victor On Sat, Apr 2, 2011 at 12:07 PM, Russ Michaels <[email protected]> wrote: > > if you want to use absolute paths then the path needs to be same on both > live and dev.
