I’m running a Windows Server 2008 for all my ASP .NET stuff. Then I have some stuff which is still managed by WordPress as a CMS. For some reason, I believe that it’s a bad thing mixing ASP .NET and ASP.NET files in the same domain (or subdomain), especially when talking about a huge project like WordPress.

The thing is, right now we have a subdomain hosting a knowledge bank built from WordPress with all the information we need. However, where I work they want to change that to mydomain.com/knowledge instead of knowledge.mydomain.com. This adds complexity, since mydomain.com already contains ASP .NET files.

I told them that this is probably not a good idea. Yes, it’ll work, but it’s not pretty. What to do? What are your suggestions?

I know this may be subjective, but all I ask is some pros and cons for mixing or not mixing up PHP and ASP .NET files in the same folder, and perhaps some alternative solutions to the problem.

Note IIS is what is running on the server.

    If it’s simply an issue of separation of files and folders, just map the URL to the folder.

    I believe this can probably be done with Virtual Directory. “The virtual directory name becomes part of the application’s URL, and users can request the URL from a browser to access content in the physical directory.”
