Question

Hard to fit the exact question into the title, but given the following:

If you have a managed path with explicit inclusion i.e. http://foo.com:123/bar and you attempt to create a web on your root site called "bar" at http://foo.com:123/bar ... what happens?

And vice versa. If the web exists, what happens if you attempt to create this managed path?

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you have the "bar" as managed path and you are trying to create a subsite under the root site collection ("/") then it will throw the following errors.

"bar" cannot be used as a site name. Site names cannot contain certain reserved words and cannot begin with an underscore. Please enter a different name.

But if you already created a web under root site called "bar",and now trying to add new managed path for Bar. New managed pathw ill be created sucessfully but now if you go back and browse the bar web, you will get the 404 file not found error.
