IIS7 pages cant find other links properly

Hi all.

I have 2 problems which I believe are related. I'll start off by saying the website in question is one I worked on on my work PC and it works fine, but now when I run it at home (a direct copy) it has problems. So the problem will not be the actual website, I'm sure its the setup of my IIS7.

Basically, I link to files at the top of my ASPX pages. It would be something like:

src="/ADMIN/some_test_file"

or

src="~/ADMIN/some_test_file"

and I would use this in a page which would be located at "/TEMPLATES/" within the site root. Both the TEMPLATES and ADMIN folder are in the site root. Now the problem arises that I then need to change the src tag to:

src:"../ADMIN/some_test_file"

for the file to be found. What would I need to change in IIS so that I don't have to change all the links to files, which would be hundreds of links! And then I would have to change it back when at work! So that it would do all its searching from the site root.

Secondly, my .aspx.vb code-behind files have import statements at the start. But for some reason my own made class files are not recognised when I try to instantiate an object. I would assume that it cannot find the APP_CODE folder for the same reason as above where it is not looking in the site root.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks, Paul.

I am having a similar issue since moving to IIS 7. Did you find a resolution for this?

Any actual error messages would help identify your problems. parent paths is one likely IIS setting to check.
