Doesn't work when installed as virtual directory under parent asp.net

  • I am running an ASP.NET website (MVC) which has its own user membership system based on .NET’s Membership.

    I needed to ask a CMS and chose WordPress. For that I created a virtual directory under the main website (ASP.NET) and installed WordPress in the virtual directory. The installation itself was successful.

    However, when I try to launch it I get an error that it cannot find the assembly that implements the membership. The error in the WP launch is referencing the membership profile from the parent ASP.NET application.

    As it appears, the WordPress under IIS is inheriting these system.web settings from the parent application (the main website). I tried wrapping the system.web section with location tags to prevent inheriting them in the child (WP) application but that throws a 500 Error (Internal Server).

    Does anybody has experience in that setup? main site being an ASP.NET (4.0) underneath a virtual directory that becomes an application which is actually WordPress?
