How can I map A directory of Main Application as another domain?

Question

I want to set www.domain.com/folder as folder.domain.com. Both must run as same application.

This is not really clear. You want to access the content from `www.domain.com/folder` using the url `folder.domain.com`? — cheesemacfly, Jun 04 '13 at 14:15
@cheesemacfly ya exactly... I don't want to create a domain for this... — Subin Jacob, Jun 05 '13 at 03:32

Add following rule in your web.config file -

<system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>    
         <rule name="FolderSubDomain" stopProcessing="false">
           <match url="(.*)" />
             <conditions>
               <add input="{HTTP_HOST}" pattern="^(?!www)(\w+)\.domain\.com$" />
             </conditions>
             <action type="Rewrite" url="{C:1}/{R:1}" />
           </rule>
     </rules>
   </rewrite>
</system.webServer>

pointing to folder consider it as another application. I can't access the session state or cache from Main Application – Subin Jacob Jun 04 '13 at 11:49
I already created a subdomain folder.domain.com . Now IIS maps it into that folder. – Subin Jacob Jun 04 '13 at 11:50
@SubinJacob - try the alternate way then. I have removed new solution option. – Parag Meshram Jun 04 '13 at 11:52
what this means `{C:1}/{R:1}` ? – Subin Jacob Jun 04 '13 at 11:53
Should I remove the site folder.domain.com that I created already before setting the web.config to the main app – Subin Jacob Jun 04 '13 at 11:54
if your url is folder.domain.com, `{R:1}` matches `folder` and `{C:1}` matches `domain.com`. So url `"{C:1}/{R:1}"` results in `domain.com/folder` – Parag Meshram Jun 04 '13 at 11:58
@SubinJacob - yes, remove that newly created site – Parag Meshram Jun 04 '13 at 11:58
Read more about url rewriting. You will get an idea what exactly you need to do. http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2011/11/02/introduction-to-url-rewriting/ – Parag Meshram Jun 04 '13 at 12:01
That means all subfolders can be accessed via subdomains. rite? Thanks for the guide – Subin Jacob Jun 04 '13 at 12:08
`The requested resource is not found.` this error shown while I added it to web.config – Subin Jacob Jun 04 '13 at 12:14
No. I installed rewrite module. (no config changes made). but still 404 error showing. However, I can access domain.com/folder. (testing on local network with domain configured locally) – Subin Jacob Jun 04 '13 at 12:33
