QuestionImplementing an ASP.NET app with ASP classic [modified] Pin

(Posted on behalf of a colleague - for reference purposes, I am the system admin)

I have a .NET 2 web application which I'm trying to deploy. I published the project to a folder on the production web server, but got the popular "It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level." error.

I said, "I know how to solve this." I cranked up the IIS manager, drilled down to the project's folder, and clicked the "Create" button to make the site it's own application. Problem solved.

Then the site administrator stopped me and said that the site could not remain in production as a separate application. At that point, things got interesting.

I Googled extensively and found lots of references to solving this problem the way I did it by creating an application, but nothing about what to do if that wasn't an option. There are several which say I can move the web.config closer to the root of the main site, but not a lot of info about how to actually get the site working that way.

Moving web.config out of my app's folder starts causing errors leading me to believe it can't find all it's components.

A couple other points worth noting: the bulk of the root site is classic ASP and there are other .NET sites embedded in other folders deeper in the tree already (system admin pointed this out immediately). The existing sites are uncompiled, single-page affairs. Their web.config files are in the folder one level up in the tree from the app- still several levels below the root. My app is multipage, AJAX enabled, and makes heavy use of custom controls.

So, I either need instructions on how to successfully move my web.config up towards the root of the base ASP site, or a I need a good excuse why it can't or shouldn't be done this way which I can sell to the system admin.

EDIT ON
The Intranet is a menued environment with integrated security and logging; allowing access directly to a portion of the system bypasses these provisions. This is not just my call, it is the opinion of the department manager
EDIT OFF

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tim
