Blog Engine as a virtual directory and Umbraco application as parent application is causing the below error

Question

Parent application built using Umbraco 4.9.0. Child application built using Blog Engine 2.8.

Am hosting this on IIS6, and am loading the website, my parent application is loading good but my blog is not loading and it is throwing the below error.

Server error in '\blog' Application. Runtime error

I couldn't view the description of the error even after i make the customerror to "RemoteOnly"

But below is the error from Event Viewer.

Exception information: Exception type: HttpException Exception message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

AM very sure the parent application is inheriting and causing the above error, but i could fix it :( please help!

Your help is very much appreciated by this lone fighter.

Answer 1

One thing you will need to do is to tell Umbraco to ignore the /blog url. That way it won't try to process that route.

NOTE:

To do that find the "umbracoReservedPaths" key in the appSettings (in the web.config file). In the value add ",~/blog" to the end of the other paths.

Also, remember that virtual directories inherit the web.config settings from the website they are in. So you may need to add some 's to the web.config for BlogEngine to remove Umbraco things that it cannot or will not use.

Are they both running the same version of .net?
