VS2008 Testprojects

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.1.7)

MapPath() does not work for virtual directories outside of the current
application. However, this works perfectly using WinXP and the integrated IIS.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
To reproduce this bug I created two simple WebApplications using VS2008.
/WebApplication1 tries to access /WebApplication2 and read back some
application settings. To do this drag a Label from the toolbox to
WebApplication1 and add the following to the code behind class for
WebApplication1:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Label1.Text="Server.MapPath(\"/WebApplication1\"): ";

    try
    {
        Label1.Text += "<b>" + Server.MapPath("/WebApplication1") + "</b>";
    }
    catch
    {
        Label1.Text+="ERROR";
    }

    Label1.Text+="<br/>HostingEnvironment.MapPath(\"/WebApplication1\"): ";

    try
    {
        Label1.Text += "<b>" + HostingEnvironment.MapPath("/WebApplication1") +
"</b>";
    }
    catch
    {
        Label1.Text+="ERROR";
    }


    Label1.Text += "<br/>Server.MapPath(\"/WebApplication2\"): ";

    try
    {
        Label1.Text += "<b>" + Server.MapPath("/WebApplication2") + "</b>";
    }
    catch
    {
        Label1.Text += "ERROR";
    }

    Label1.Text += "<br/>HostingEnvironment.MapPath(\"/WebApplication2\"): ";

    try
    {
        Label1.Text += "<b>" + HostingEnvironment.MapPath("/WebApplication2") +
"</b>";
    }
    catch
    {
        Label1.Text += "ERROR";
    }

    string strPhysPath = Server.MapPath("/WebApplication2");
    Configuration config =
WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration("/WebApplication2");

    KeyValueConfigurationElement test =
(KeyValueConfigurationElement)config.AppSettings.Settings["test"];

    if (test != null) Label1.Text += "<br/>[test]=" + test.Value.ToString();
        else Label1.Text += "<br/>[test]=null";
}

In the Web.config for WebApplication2 add
<appSettings>
      <add key="test" value="Hello World!"/>
</appSettings>


To deploy the applications on IIS do the following:
1.    Delete all files within c:\inetpub\wwwroot and copy the output of both
WebApplications from above to some other directory
2.    Create two virtual directories in IIS for each WebApplication and call
them WebApplication1 and WebApplication2 and map them to the directories from
(3)
3.    Start a browser and enter http://localhost/WebApplication1

To deploy the applications on the Mono 2.6.1 Live CD do the following:
1.    Create a directory below your home dir and copy both WebApplications to
it
2.    Enter xsp2 –applications
/WebApplication1:./WebApplication1,/WebApplication2:,/WebApplication2
3.    Start a browser and enter http://localhost/WebApplication1

Actual Results:  
The output from the test under Mono 2.6.1 is as follows:
“Server.MapPath("/WebApplication1"): /home/rupert/DemoTest/WebApplication1 
HostingEnvironment.MapPath("/WebApplication1"):
/home/rupert/DemoTest/WebApplication1
Server.MapPath("/WebApplication2"):
/home/rupert/DemoTest/WebApplication1/WebApplication2
HostingEnvironment.MapPath("/WebApplication2"):
/home/rupert/DemoTest/WebApplication1/WebApplication2
[test]=null“


Expected Results:  
The output from the test under IIS produces the following:

Server.MapPath("/WebApplication1"): C:\Inetpub\temp\WebApplication1
HostingEnvironment.MapPath("/WebApplication1"): C:\Inetpub\temp\WebApplication1
Server.MapPath("/WebApplication2"): C:\Inetpub\temp\WebApplication2
HostingEnvironment.MapPath("/WebApplication2"): C:\Inetpub\temp\WebApplication2
[test]=Hello World!


By the way, calling
WebConfigrationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(“/WebApplication2”) from within
WebApplication1 will throw an exception on Mono 2.6.1 but not on Windows/IIS.

All in all, the following methods are not working as expected
System.Web.HttpServerUtility.MapPath()
System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath()
System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigrationManager.OpenWebConfiguration()
