I am new to IIS7. I got a problem with the default document for a website. I have the default document enabled and the default document was set to home.aspx but when I browse the site using only http://example.com, I got the
403 - Forbidden: Access is denied
error. It works fine when I use the URL with the name of the file like this: http://example.com/home.aspx.
Take a look in the web.config file - double check that the defaultDocument section is correctly set up.
Post it here if you're unsure

I have a page with the name "man.aspx" , when i open it , it works good in localhost,
but when i publish it , it give error :
mywebsite-3.ir/error.htm?aspxerrorpath=/man.aspx
or
404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
It can be cause by a lot of things, did you set the path properly in IIS ?
Does you default page is displayed correctly ? Try to add a file with index.html in your root folder.
Did you set ASP.Net ?
Go into IIS Manager -> Servername -> "Web Service Extensions", and set ASP.NET v2.0.xxxxxx to Allowed.
I was trying to run a .cshtml file but it gave an error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This type of page is not served.
Description: The type of page you have requested is not served because it has been explicitly forbidden. The extension '.cshtml' may be incorrect. Please review the URL below and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /index.cshtml
So I searched for the solution and found that I had to edit the web.config file which is in the root directory(here it is My Site), but there is no file like that there there is only an index.cshtml which I had created.
I searched even the IIS and the IIS Express folders in Programs Files\ but there was no file like that?
If you are using WebMatrix, maybe your mistake was the starting point choice.
If you want to create a new Web Pages site you must start from a template in the Template Gallery of WebMatrix. Pay attention that the Empty Site template differs from the Empty Site option outside the Template Gallery because the first holds the files (binaries, packages and the web.config too) that are needed.
As the server error suggests, .cshtml files are not served, the reason for this is because they are server-side files that make up your application, they are just one piece of a much bigger picture.
If you launched your web application in debug mode and the URL in the browser was something like http://localhost:2932/Views/Home/Index.cshtml, just drop the /Views/Home/Index.cshtml part of the URL.
I have added an application on IIS 7 and the physical path selected correctly.
However, I got this problem when browsing the application:
404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. the problem is also when I tried it like this: http://abc.com/default.aspx
but if I tried it with: http://abc.com/myimage.png => works
the server has installed .NET Framework 2.0, and also 4.0
Any idea what is wrong here?
THanks in advance.
Do you have the Default Document set to your homepage correctly?
One solution:
Try to add the type to IIS Mime types. Ex: I meet this error when try to click a mkv video file.
Open IIS Manager
Selection "MIME Type" feature
Add...
Enter this content
File name extension: mkv
Mime types: mkv/mkv
OK
Restart the website
Click the file again, its worked
I am encountering an unexpected behavior:
The following statement works fine:
Context.RewritePath( "~/Default.aspx" ); // redirect to default doc, explicitly
This gives me a 404 error:
Context.RewritePath( "~/" ); // redirect to default doc, implicitly
Loading document / from a browser without doing any URL rewriting correctly loads the document, so I figure IIS is correctly configured, and that / and /Default.aspx indeed refer to the same document.
I would rather use the latter statement, as there is a possibility that the Default document name will be changed in IIS as time goes on. I'm assuming the solution involves some method to retrieve the Default Document name from IIS, however I've been unable to locate such a method.
So my question is: What is the correct way to specify a default document when rewriting the URL?
Your problem is that IIS handles the path translations for the "default document" before it turns control over to asp.net.
When a browser requests a URL without a file name, IIS will check the list of "default documents" configured for that site. It then looks for physical files in the requested path that match the name of the configured default documents. It then returns the first matching default document that physically exists on the disk.
After this, if the requested file is an asp.net file, it will invoke the asp.net runtime and hand off processing to asp.net.
Your URL re-writing takes place inside the asp.net process. It has no awareness of IIS's settings with regards to default documents and such. When you use a technique like URL re-writing that take place entirely within asp.net, you can't use default documents and such. So always re-write using the page name.
I have an authentication script (CheckLogin.aspx), and if any of the credentials do not match my application will redirect (via Server.Transfer) to the access denied page (forbidden.aspx). Each time my script runs,it gets an InvalidOperationException: Failed to map the path '/forbidden.aspx'. Here is a mockup of my applications file structure:
<root>
..default.aspx
..forbidden.aspx
..<inc>
....scripts.js
..<auth>
....CheckLogin.aspx
As you can see, the CheckLogin.aspx page is in a folder inside the root, and the forbidden.aspx page is inside the root itself. The path I am telling my application to redirect to is /forbidden.aspx.
Sometimes you have to precede the page path with a tilde to indicate the root directory:
'~/forbidden.aspx'
Are you using "~/..." to make sure all your paths are relative?
By the way, you should just set up page access via Web.config, by using the <location> tags. That way you can have some sort of role-based access, without much custom code.
