Migration tool I think I know what's wrong
OK maybe it’s not the end of the migration issues, but I discovered (IMHO) what could be the root of the problem.
When I migrate a web application, I am asking if I want to backup the project before the conversion. First whatever your choice, you will still have a backup.
And I think there is a problem here. Because if I pick a project under wwwroot, the backup will be under my current project. Then yes I will have all sort of problems with IIS and virtual directory, because I have now two web config!
Something like:
– wwwroot
– Project (virtual directory)
web.config
- Backup of the project (not a virtual directory)
– same web.config
After conversion, I quit VS2005, delete the backup folder and voila, no more errors. But even if I managed to compile the application, I still haven’t a running application.
Always the same server error ‘Server Error in XX ApplicationThe path ‘/XX/App_GlobalResources’ maps to a directory outside this application..’
Still searching !
