Problems with ASP.NET 2.0 application in subdirectory on a shared host

Hi,

I have a domain at an ISP provider and try to install an ASP.NET 2.0
application in a subdirectory. It's a wiki called ScrewTurn. I have asked my
ISP to set it up according to the developers' specification, but I
constantly run into problems. The subdirectory is set as an .net application
and the public directory is given read and write access to the Network
Service account. I have tried to alter the web.config file in the
subdirectory without success. I usually end up with a
System.NullReferenceException at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain or a
"The attribute 'userName' has been locked in a higher level configuration".
According to the developers the wiki engine does not require any type of
authentication, but they cannot assist in the configuration of the
web.config file. Apparantly, it runs it the root directory, and some ISPs
have ScrewTurn run i subdirecories. My ISP cannot figure it out. Can anyone
help me with common problems in web.config for a .net application in a
subdirectory? I know it is merged with the ISP's root web.config file, but
does not know the content this file. I suspect security issues or file path
problems.

Best regards
Ola Lie
