How to connect my blog under separate folder?

[Odettes]

Hi!

I'm trying to install a blog in a separate folder of my store installation, like "/blog"
How can I make the blog folder a .NET 4.0 application that lives it's own life without interfering with the ablecommerce installation?

If I install the blog in the root folder without ablecommerce it works perfekt, but I need it in a subfolder.

Can someone please help?

Have you tried adding the blog as an Application under the AC site in IIS? That will let you put the blog in it's own folder outside of the AC folder structure.

Yes, If the blog application is php based (Wordpress) you can set the blog as a web application folder under yoursite.com/blog.
The application should have its own application pool set to "unmanaged code".

If the blog application however is asp.net based app. like http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/ then you have to prevent the application
under yoursite.com/blog from inheriting the main AbleCommerce web.config settings by adding the following line before <system.web>

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
<system.web>
.....
</system.web>
</location>

If you are experiencing issues with the above methods send me PM and I will be happy to help.
