Umbraco Installation as a website under root or in a virtual directory?
I have started playing around with umbraco Version 4.7 and I have succeeded in installing through Web Platform installer as well as manual Install without any issues following the documentation available in wiki.
I was also able to install umbraco as a website under root in IIS as well as in a virtual directory.
In some of the earlier posts I have read that umbraco (earler verisons not sure about this version) is designed to work as a website under root.
Could you please elaborate what are the pros and cons of installing umbraco under a virtual directory?
For e.g: If I install umbraco as a virtual directory installation for development and as a website under root in IIS for production, will there be any problems for packaging and deployment?
While playing around umbraco installation in the virtual directory under a website, one thing I noticed is that I cannot pick the home node through content picker for redirecting to home with special property umbracoRedirect because it is pointing to "/" which is the root website. Can this be configured anywhere?
Redirection will work with "umbracoInternalRedirectId"
Can anyone point out the other major issues if we are installing umbraco site in a virtual directory of a website?
