I have copied one website to another folder and tried to run it in Visual Studio using IIS, but for some reason it is giving me a compile error in the following lines in the web.config file:

    <add tagPrefix="QuickBuck" tagName="RecentlyModified" src="/Controls/RecentlyModified.ascx" />
    <add tagPrefix="QuickBuck" tagName="Sitemap" src="/Controls/Sitemap.ascx" />

There is also another line underneath them which doesn’t error, making this even stranger:

    <add tagPrefix="QuickBuck" tagName="Menu" src="/Controls/Menu.ascx" />

The controls are there, why is this happening? The exact errors are like so:

The virtual path '/Controls/RecentlyModified.ascx' maps to another application, which is not allowed.       

The virtual path '/Controls/Menu.ascx' maps to another application, which is not allowed.

There isn’t actually a line number next to the errors so I assume it is from the web.config. Please help this is driving me crazy!

    I don’t know what happened but I was able to get it to work by putting ~ in front of the path. Hope this helps someone.
