website with virtual directory

Question

I have a website running which is using asp.net and iis 7.

I made some changes to the website and I wanted to do some testing using the same url but in a sub directory like /private/test

So in IIS I set up a virtual directory inside the main application pointing to the code with the changes. Then I converted it to an application.

But I get iis errors like

"the entry in web.config testDataconnection has already been added."

How would I fix this so I could get this running?

abc123.com main asp.net application is here

abc123.com/private/test test application is here -this is just a clone of the original with a few modifications

Answer 1

In your configuration file after the <providers> and before the first <add....> node add a node. that will fix it.
