title: ASP.net MasterPage.master does not exist
body: <p>I am having a problem while publishing my website on the IIS server, i don't have direct access to it so i have to rely on some one else to configure my website on the IIS.
  however when i upload my website this error comes up:</p>
  
  <p>Line 1:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" title="Untitled Page" %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Line 2:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Parser Error Message: <code>The file '/server/website/MasterPage.master' does not exist.</code></p>
  
  <p>my masterpage is in the root folder of the website and <code>default.aspx</code> is on the root also, i have searched on internet for answer but the best i have found is changing <code>MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master"</code>  to <code>MasterPageFile="./MasterPage.master"</code> but haven't tried yet till Monday.</p>
  
  <p>i would appreciate your help. </p>
