[resolved] deploying a project on the web

[tito_puente41]

hi all

i have a general question regarding deploying a project on the web...

when i copy the project files onto the web, and place them in the root, the application works fine... but if i place the files into a subfolder, for example, www.somesite.com/subfolder/login.aspx instead of www.somesite.com/login.aspx, i get an error...

but i don't want to have 50 files clogging the root and want to organize things a bit, so how do i get this work?

thanks all

here's the error message (error is on line 31):
