title: IIS virtual directory from web.config
body: <p>I have a IIS problem that I think <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201127004607/http://geekswithblogs.net/ranganh/archive/2005/04/25/37609.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this blog</a> gives me a fix for:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>To resolve it, Right Click on the virtual directory - select properties and then click on &quot;Create&quot; next to the &quot;Application&quot; Label and the textbox. It will
  automatically create the &quot;application&quot; using the virtual directory's name. Now the application can be accessed.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>However I don't have access to the IIS GUI. Is there a way to do the same thing by editing the web.config file?</p>
