I'm currently managing a .NET 6 Blazor standalone application that utilizes WebAssemblyHostBuilder. For deployment, the application is configured to operate under a virtual directory, enabling it to be accessed via a subpath (e.g., test.fr/subpath1/). However, when I attempt to adjust the applicationhost.config in Visual Studio to reflect this setup, the changes are not effective. It issues a 403 :
Has anyone encountered issues with configuring the applicationhost.config in Visual Studio ?

you would edit the file (it is in the hidden .vs folder under the project) and update the site section for your website. you are hosting a static website. you will need to update the launch settings also.
note: to tell the truth, if I wanted to do this, I'd use IIS instead. it has a UI to setup.
Hello, thank you for your answer. But like I said, I already updated the applicationhost.config file to add path to my virtualDirectory:
<virtualDirectory path="/test" physicalPath="xxx/>
But I still have a 403 error in the subpath /test. I modified the launchSettings.json to launch browser on /test but it does nothing.
An of course in Visual Studio, it use IIS Express so it does not have any UI ?
Okay its works now, but not in debug because of aspnetcore-browser-refresh.js script that is loaded from root and not from subpath ! That a great framework !
