Hi all,

I wanted to ask about web.config file. I was getting an error from something i was making basically saying it could not open the cnnnectionstring to the database which i has specified within my Web.Config - i always throught that it went into the main file ie MYAPPLICATION (i moved it to) MYAPPLICATION/ADMIN/ now it works... but i thought that you could only have one web.config in any given application, so will it cause the same error in pages in the MYAPPLICATION folder.

thanks


David

Should there be one Web.Config in each directory or one for the whole application?

If the answer is one for the whole application, what directory do i need to put it in and why would a page not pick up the web.config in the file above so that it picks up the connectionstring?

Sorry hope thats a bit clearer - i have a tendancy to run away with myself!

Thanks

One should go in the root folder of your web app that sets all folders. If you wanted to add anything to a specific folder you could add another. The ones in the sub folders will inherit from the root config. Most people block anonymous access with sub folder configs.

Cool thanks you.
