I have an existing ASP.NET 2.0 website in a shared hosting environment.  I want to add CS 2007 functionality to the site, eventually with the same look and feel of the rest of the site.

I have uploaded the web install files to a /cs directory on the existing site.  My hosting provider has set the /cs directory as an IIS application with Read and Run Scripts permissions; I have set the Full Control permissions for the necessary CS subdirectories.  I have edited the installer/default.aspx to allow installation.

When I attempt to navigate to the /cs/installer/ directory to run the install, it appears the installer is reading my root web.config instead of the /cs/web.config.  I receive the following error message:

Line 37:     </compilation>
Line 38: 
Line 39:     <pages styleSheetTheme="Fixed">
Line 40:       <namespaces>
Line 41:         <clear/>

Hello,

No that is currently not possible. Community Server needs to be installed in the site root or in its own virtual directory.

HTH,
Scott

I am experiencing the EXACT same issue as described here and I have the CS files inside it's own CS Virtual Directory with the read/run checkboxes marked.  This is still causing errors from settings inside my root folder's web.config file, but I was able to perform a few workarounds and get the installer to run.  Basically had to copy a DLL in from the root's bin to the cs's bin and also set the <pages theme="" .../> to remove the default theme in the root's web.config, etc...
