Currently, the Continua installer will try to install under a new website if an existing website is already running on port 80. Is it possible to run Continua under the same web site but just as a separate application? We tried this and it does not seem to work, we are getting mappath errors when attempting to hit the application ([InvalidOperationException: Failed to map the path).
If this is possible, what do we need to change to get this to work.
No, unfortunately it’s not possible, Continua was never designed to work as an application, this was a concious decision made during early development as a result of a lot of support issues we had with FinalBuilder Server. The IIS config inheritance causes so many problems for applications which are difficult to resolve.
Is the port number the issue or just you don’t want run another site? I fully understand the port issue, I hate using websites with non standard ports. One way around this if you control the network, is to add another ip address & dns name for the server, that way you can still use port 80.
