Creating virtual directory alias

[bentorres]

I need to create a virtual directory alias which redirects user to a given web page. If there is no VD for that page, then master page ref works well.As soon as I created VD and try to get that same page by entering the path to VD, I got the error message

Server Error in '/subdirectory' Application.

(i)Make sure that the user account that the server is running under has permissions to access that directory.

(ii)When using "~" in a file path, make sure that the current application deployment believes the root directory is the same as it was before.

(iii)Open IIS, right-click on the virtual directory folder for this site, and selected "Convert to Application." Refresh and check again.
