If I put sitefinity in charge of my site (www.website.com) and have a virtual directory pointing to a .NET site/application that isn't controlled by sitefinity (www.website.com/helloworld) is that allowed? If so, is there a special way to set that up? I want sitefinity to control my site but I need to have a handful of virtual directories that point non-sitefinity sites/applications. Right now I'm having trouble with this. I'm getting 404 errors and some other issues with web.config inheritance that I can't get rid of for the life of me.

Hi Jaime ,

I don't see a problem with the setup - Sitefinity application and other .NET application. You can crate a new website and put Sitefintiy in its root. Then create a new virtual directory under Sitefinty's website that will host your other .NET application. Here it would be better if both the applications are build on .NET 4.0 . You should also break the applications web.config inheritance.

In some places you need to explicitly use clear or remove tags to break the inheritance. In most of the cases this happens in handlers section.

Well, I thought I had tried that already but it didn't work. But regardless, it works now. Thanks!
