 <p>I think what you may be seeing is:</p> <pre><code>http://servername.domain.com/virtualdirectoryname/applicationname </code></pre> <p>If you have named your virtual directory the same name as your application then I could see how that could confuse you. If you had no virtual directory and just your application at the root of the Default Web Site you'd be seeing:</p> <pre><code>http://servername.domain.com/applicationname </code></pre> <p>Is your virtual directory the same name as your application name? If so, that is why you see this.</p>
