where is the folder of Connection string?

thanx

Hi,

I just wanted to tell you that I have one more application running as the root and I just created a folder for nopcommerce and set it in IIS.

I Set this as application root. I think its reading the web.config in the root before accessing the webconfig in thye nopCommerce.

Is there any fix..

I just typed something which I felt might be the issue. Not sure though.
