TeamSite ASPX Preview Problem - Apache File Mapping

Annad

We have an intermittent problem when previewing an ASPX code page within TeamSite. It seems that a completely incorrect physical path is being accessed...see below.

The REAL physical path to the file I am previewing is
"Y:\global\main\iwglobal\WORKAREA\iwglobal\docs\utilities\page1.aspx"

The physical path below is what Apache is tryng to access. It appears that the first part of this path [before iw-mount] is possibly cached from some previous preview of a page within that particular folder.
"Y:\store1\main\internet-internet\site1\branch1\WORKAREA\content-contenu\iw-mount"

This is an intermittent problem, and is "sometimes" resolved by running "aspnet_regiis.exe -i" on IIS, or even re-publishing an unrelated ASPX code page.

Note that we never have a problem on the target server, only when previewing ASPX pages within TeamSite

How do you have TS configured to preview ASPX ? By default it won't and you need to make some changes. There are 2 basic approaches I have used, create a folder iwmount-dummy in the Inetpub (and follow a KB you can get from support). Another approach is to use a proxy remap that redirects to a specific port configured for aspx.

It sounds like you have one of them *partially* working.
