I am running an ASP.NET site using IIS 7.5 running on my local computer (Windows 7). The directory for the website is stored on a network drive (Windows Server 2003).
In IIS Manager, if the physical path of the website is set to
N: \ Path \ K \ Site \ Directory
running the site returns an IIS error.
HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error
The requested page is not available because the configuration data associated with it is invalid for the page.
If the physical path is changed to a UNC path
\\ server_name \ Path \ To \ Site \ Directory
the site is working properly.
The problem is that when a project opens in Visual Studio, the physical path in IIS returns from the UNC path to the drive letter.
