I've created a virtual folder/application under Umbraco for a custom in-house MVC app. This app needs to run separate of Umbraco but under the same domain name as my Umbraco site. In order to keep the root site and child app web.configs from conflicting I used the much mentioned
in the top level web.config. Everything looked great until I tried to login to the back office. Now I get a 500 error. I can only assume that since the back office no longer is inheriting the root web.config that is my problem. I tried placing a copy of the root web.config in the Umbraco folder but that caused an odd YSOD error which did not give me any clues.
Any ideas how I can get the main site and two child apps (Umbraco and my custom MVC app) to play nicely in the same domain?
