Hi Imar,

I went through your book Beginning ASP.NET 4 and I really learned a lot. Thank you!

Since finishing the book I created another website to practice on. I created a test domain However,the site I have put on there is giving me issues. I was wondering if you can help me with it.

The structure of my test site has a folder and then the site. When I go to the URL I get the following error. I think the issue has to do with the site not being in the root of the domain. I can send you the URL if you would like privately. Thanks for your help.

Server Error in '/' Application.
Configuration Error

Hi there,

Themes need to be in the application's root. This means you'll need to either move the site to the root, or mark it's folder as an Application in IIS. For the latter you may need helpmfrom your ISP or they may providenan online control panel so you can do it yourself.

Cheers,

Imar
