Problem with Themed Web Site

I'm trying to install FileVista to an existing themed ASP.NET 2.0 web site created using C#. How can I make FileVista work within a themed ASP.NET 2.0 web site? FileVista refuses to run properly and gives me the following error message:

Server Error in '/fpd2185w' Application.

Configuration Error

This is the next error message after I add Theme 'Black' in FileVista.

Server Error in '/fpd2185w' Application.

Using themed css files requires a header control on the page. (e.g. <head runat="server" />).

Actually the error messages tells what's missing. Edit login.aspx and add runat="server" to the <head> tag like this:

<head runat="server" />

You may need to do the same to other aspx pages (default.aspx already has it).

Indeed... and I still get the same error after doing exactly what it tells me to do. I made sure that all aspx pages contain the head tag just like you said above. Any other idea?

Did you run the configuration wizard before adding this theme setting in the web.config? If not, it will first try to run configuration.aspx and not login.aspx, then also make sure configuration.aspx contains the server head tag.

I found a way to make it work without having to go through this debugging process. I just published the web site contents on the same level as the FileVista application, so the web site won't try to take over FileVista's web.config. I'll eventually play around with the theme settings to make it look pretty when I have more time.
