Hmm. I'm trying to deploy a web service to a new server and there is no ASP.NET tab. I've tried running aspnet_regiis from ASP.NET 2.0 directory but this doesn't seem to work. Any ideas anyone?
If you've had (or have...) VMware Server installed on this particular machine, the following steps will most likely fix the issue with minimal pain:
Stop the IISAdmin service (and its dependencies)
Open %windir%\system32\inetsrv\MetaBase.xml in a text editor
Delete the line that reads Enable32BitAppOnWin64="TRUE"
Restart your services using iisreset /start
Did you try uninstalling and then reinstalling ASP.NET?
i.e.
aspnet_regiis -u
and then
aspnet_regiis -i
The uninstall and then reinstall worked for me before.
The default install for IIS doesn't include ASP or .Net. You need to enable those in Windows Features menu where you installed IIS from. This shows the basic steps - they may be different for your IIS version and host OS.
This can have multiple causes ranging from installing IIS after the .NET Framework or the IIS metabase getting corrupted. The order I would go with is:
reinstall ASP.NET (as noted above: aspnet_regiis -u and then aspnet_regiis -i (found in the Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\vX.Y.Z directory)
If #1 does not resolve it, then reinstall IIS (remove/reinstall using Add/Remove Windows Components from Add/Remove Programs on XP/2003 or from Programs Control Panel Applet on Vista)
Is this IIS6? I think you can go to the
Add/Remove Software
Windows Components
IIS
Make sure that ASP.NET is checked. I think this installs
support for ASP.Net
re-run aspnet_regiis
I resolved my problem with the following steps:
1) Set the necessary permissions in "C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv" and subfolders.
2) Do not compact this folder, subfolders or files inside.
reinstall IIS
Since you said you're setting up a new server, I assume it's a Windows Server 2008 (IIS7) or 2008 R2 (IIS7.5). In either case, ASP.NET support is not configured by default (as others have mentioned). Check out the following documentation: Deploying an ASP.NEt Server (IIS7)
I found proper way. Consolidating and summerizing the method for windows 7.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
In Control Panel, click Programs, and then click Turn Windows features on or off.
VERY IMPORTANT! In the Windows Features dialog box, click Internet Information Services to install the default features, and then select the following additional features:
ASP.NET,.NET Extensibility , Request Filtering , ISAPI,ISAPI Extensions
Click OK to close the Windows Features dialog box.
4.To verify that IIS installed successfully, type the following into a Web browser:
http://localhost
You should see the default IIS Welcome page
5.Uninstall ASP.NET with IIS aspnet_regiis -u
6.Reinstall aspnet_regiis -i.
7.ReInstall .NET framework 4 in order IIS to recognize v4 in application pool.

Our company ships an MVC based product (targeting v4.5) which has stopped working on a customer site for what appear to be environmental issues - a build which worked with no problems once upon a time now gives a 403.14 - The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.
.
What I think is happening...
The user accesses http://server/AppName
Because it's an MVC app, the default route (Reports/Index) should be used.
Instead IIS is looking for a default document...
... and, not finding one, it assumes the user wants to list the contents of the directory...
...which is not enabled so it throws a 403.14.
.
What I've tried so far...
Accessing the route directly.. results in 404 error. So I'm pretty
sure IIS doesn't realise it should use routing.
Use aspnet_regiis to register ASP.Net with IIS. This was done from the Framework64 folder since...
OS is 64 bit - Windows Server 2008 (Standard without Hyper-V)
IIS is 64 bit - though Enable 32-Bit Applications is true
Checked AppPool is targeting v4 of the framework - it is.
Changed AppPool mode to Classic - was pretty sure it should be integrated but was worth ruling it out. It is now back to Integrated
Confirmed RunAllManagedModulesForAllRequests is set to true in the web.config.
Checked permission conditions defined in <system.webServer> section of web.config are met - they are.
Created the simplest of MVC applications and deployed it - same problem.
Running the command shell as Administrator unregistered ASP.Net using aspnet_regiis -ua and re-registered using aspnet_regiis -enable -i. We hit a couple of permission problems - and the Temporary ASP.NET Files directory was missing but once they were address we were back to the same error.
Added a simple default.htm - when present, this is served in response to the http://server/AppName request.
I'm clean out of ideas and all google hits suggest some combination of the above - or enabling directory browsing (which I think is just a symptom rather than the root cause).
Also, not sure if it's relevant but the amount of configurable elements available for the application in IIS seems a bit below what I would have expected...
Have you Checked the user the application pool process is running under? I think Your site needs to run with permissions to execute the .net libraries and I've seen this just change for seemingly no reason (probably related to an overzealous update to the system).
You can try with the Enabling directory browsing .

SQL Server Reporting Services creates a folder called Reports by
default if you install it on IIS. If you install SQL 2008 then
Reporting Services doesn't need to use IIS and instead will try to
reserve the URL with the HTTP.Sys service.
I believe this is the cause of the conflict you are seeing. What you
could try is changing the URL that Reporting Services uses via the SQL
Server Configuration Wizard.
Also I found that
Report Manager of SQL Server can use reports path http://<server name>/reports

I think the problem is IIS features that are not installed yet. I have met this kind of problem frequently in Windows Pro. Make sure to turn on every feature under Internet Information Service -> World Wide Services because by default IIS is configured to use WebForms. So there might be some features that not installed yet to use MVC, especially ISAPI filters. In my case, that was the solution. I hope it helps.
Something similar i encountered using VS 2017 & ASP.NET MVC.
Was working on the project for long with no problems at all but suddenly the routing started misbehaving & stopped working.
So I changed the Port in Project Properties Page & it started working.
I really don't know what is the relation between a port & MVC routing modules. Someone else can enlighten if at all this helps.
I had the same problem and I just created an application pool out of the Default Web Site in IIS and stoped the default web site. With that difference you will not have the application pool's path
I know it's been a long time since this question but i've had the same problema recently. I've tried every single configuration, just like #amcdermott did, but the only action that solve the problem was reinstalling .NET Framework.
My app was built under .NET Framework 4.5.2. The application server had the version 4.6.1 and 4.5.2 installed. So, i uninstalled all framework versions and installed the one that i needed.
Please, make sure that no other applications use superior versions of .NET Framework if you going to try this solution.
Here are some quote I find on Microsoft official site which I think may help:
For site administrators
This problem occurs because the Web site does not have the Directory Browsing feature enabled, and the default document is not configured. To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:
Method 1: Enable the Directory Browsing feature in IIS (Recommended)
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
Start IIS Manager. To do this, click Start, click Run, type inetmgr.exe, and then click OK.
In IIS Manager, expand server name, expand Web sites, and then click the website that you want to modify.
In the Features view, double-click Directory Browsing.
In the Actions pane, click Enable.
Method 2: Add a default document
To resolve this problem, follow these steps:
Start IIS Manager. To do this, click Start, click Run, type inetmgr.exe, and then click OK.
In IIS Manager, expand server name, expand Web sites, and then click the website that you want to modify.
In the Features view, double-click Default Document.
In the Actions pane, click Enable.
In the File Name box, type the name of the default document, and then click OK.
Method 3: Enable the Directory Browsing feature in IIS Express
Note This method is for the web developers who experience the issue when they use IIS Express.
To do this, follow these steps:
Open a command prompt, and then go to the IIS Express folder on your computer. For example, go to the following folder in a command prompt:
C:\Program Files\IIS Express
Type the following command, and then press Enter:
appcmd set config /section:directoryBrowse /enabled:true
An ASP.NET web project loads with up the solution, but I get this error
The Web Application Project is configured to use IIS. Unable to access the IIS metabase. You do not have sufficient privilege to access IIS web sites on your machine.
How can this be solved?
This may have nothing to do with registering ASP/IIS. The reason is exactly what the error message says: Visual Studio devenv.exe is not running with sufficient privileges to access the IIS process, and it needs to do this if your solution contains a web project whose Web settings say to use IIS rather than the VS dev server.
There are two solutions to your problem:
Run VS as an Administrator and reopen the solution/project.
Edit the web application's project file with a text editor and change this line
from True to False:
<UseIIS>True</UseIIS>
That will stop it using IIS and demanding higher privileges.
The reason VS demands Admin privileges is, I believe, because it will try and create the IIS web site for you on demand if it doesn't exist.
An answer that worked for me can be found here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/17460774/3005965
Basically, go to %systemroot%/inetsrv/config. When prompt appears saying you need admin privileges, click Continue.
This should clear up your issue.
Just try to access Visual studio as Admin right click and choose run as administrator.
may fixes this problem.
and take a look at this link for instructions on creating a shortcut.
I ran into this problem when I had copied a project to a new project. I opened the project file (.csproj) and removed the value from the IISUrl element:
from: <IISUrl>http://localhost:21222</IISUrl>
to: <IISUrl></IISUrl>
Have you registered the .NET framework with IIS? You need to run the aspnet_regiis.exe utility found at %WindowsDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\vx.y.zzzz\. Run it as administrator as follows:
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
-i : Installs the version of ASP.NET that is associated with Aspnet_regiis.exe and updates the script maps at the IIS metabase root and below. Only the script maps for applications that use an earlier version of ASP.NET are updated. Applications that use a later version are not affected.
Find out more about the utitlity here.
This error also occurs if you modified your Machine.config and added some "invalid lines":
For example, I added some appSettings, to the configuration section (which IIS didn't like).
Just register your Web-project in your local IIS. All the settings you will find in *.csproj file. That works for me.
first uncheck internet information service from turn windows features on or off.
then uninstall iis from your system and restart it. after restarting it install iis again from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=34679 and try to open again.
Step 1: Close Visual Studio
Step 2: Go to Project Folder and find ".vs" folder Note: It may be hidden

Step 4: Open Project Again
I've just tried to deploy my first web application to IIS on my Windows 7 Home Premium notebook. After creating the application, I had to change to the Classic App Pool, then set that pool for framework 4.0. Now I get the following error:
HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found The requested content appears to be
script and will not be served by the static file handler.
The requested URL is http://localhost:80/pvmms/default.aspx
I'm afraid extensive Googling has yielded nothing clear or definite enough for me to work with and as usual I've turned to the experts.
EDIT:
I suspect this is because there are no framework 4.0 handler mappings for .aspx files. However, aspnet_regiis even gives my admin user the finger and says I need admin rights to run it.
EDIT #2:
I registered all the frameworks (2 & 4, 32 and 64) and all now works. I found this by manually adding a script map for .aspx to aspnet_isapi and voila. I don't understand why the installation of the framework doesn't do this, unless my memory fails me and I only enabled IIS after installing VS.
Maybe too late now, but more often than not you need to run
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
after installing asp.net. Maybe I would do it anyway now.
In addition to above, if you need WCF support, you might need to run this:
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\ServiceModelReg.exe -i
Replace v3.0 to whatever your current framework version is.
I encountered this error from IIS 8.5 when trying to access a WCF service I had written. Turns out the server didn't have the WCF HTTP Activation features turned on. Checked the boxes and clicked through the wizard, iisreset, started working.
If you are using iis 7.5.
Just go to IIS Manager, open your website properties.
You will see 'Handler Mappings' section there, just go to that section and Search for 'staticFile'.
Most probably its a last file in the list.
Then Right Click on it and Select 'Revert To Parent'.
I have wasted so many hours while i have faced this first time, anyways this will solve your problem.
I had this issue with Windows Server 2012 with ASP .NET 4.5 you can't use aspnet_regiis.exe, and just have to install ASP .NET 4.5 via the Add Roles and Features Wizard:
You can find the menu item "Add Roles and Features" in the menu "Manage", in the right corner of Server Manager
should check out this option i suppose
I solved this problem by enabling WCF Services
Programs and Features > NET Framework 4.5 Services > WCF Services> HTTP Activation node
But you have to admit it guys this ENTIRE IIS setup configure/guess/trial and see/try this/try that spends 4 or 5 of our days trying to find a solution around approach IS A COMPLETE AND UTTER JOKE.
SURELY, 'IIS' IS THE BIGGEST CONFIDENCE TRICK EVER PLAYED ON MANKIND TO DATE
I know this is an old question, but I've just had this with a 3.5 application on my rebuilt Windows 8 machine and I was still getting this after aspnet_regiis -iru and it turned out the be ASP.NET 3.5 wasn't ticked within Application Development Features (not enough reputation to post an image).
There is a chance that application pool created for you application by default is version 2. So although you see a handler for .svc extension in the list it does not work and treat it as static file. All you need is to open application pool properties and switch it to version 4.
Register asp.net again....will solve the issue.
Go to Visual Studio Command Prompt, And register asp.net as windows\microsoft.net\Framework[.Net version num]\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
I had this same issue on a windows 8 machine I am setting up. I had installed vs2012 before vs2010, which installs .NET framework 4.5. I have my app pools running in 4.0. I made sure I had aspnet registered for 4.0 using aspnet_regiis -i. That still didn't do the trick. Then I opened up the Windows Features and noticed that 4.5 added a set called ".NET Framework 4.5 Advanced Services". I enabled the WCF Service node and its children and then my svc endpoint operated correctly. Hope this helps folks who are making the move to Windows 8.
I stumbled upon this question when I ran into the same issue. The root cause of my issue was an incorrectly-configured app pool. It was set for 2.0 inadvertently, when it needed to be set to 4.0. The answer at the following link helped me uncover this issue: http://forums.iis.net/t/1160143.aspx
For Windows 10/Framework 4.7, I had to turn on HTTP Activation through the following method:
Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or off
Under .NET Framework 4.7 Advanced Services, expand WCF Services, select to check the HTTP Activation and whatever else you need when working with WCF
Click OK and let the install do its thing, then open an administrative command prompt and issue the IISRESET command
cmd -> right click -> Run as administrator
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
For other people reading this:
This can happen is if the .Net version that you have registered isn't the one selected under the 'Basic Settings' of the application pool attached to your website. For instance, your sites application pool has .Net v2.0 selected but you registered v4.0
Just another possible solution I found having the same error message.
When trying to setup a .NET 4.0 web application to a new applicition pool I was receiving this strange error telling me it was trying to process my aspx file with the static file handler, which didn't make sense.
For some reason the ISAPI for .NET 4.0 was set to disabled in the ISAPI and CGI Restrictions area of the server level in the IIS manager. Setting it to enabled was all that was required, however the IIS 7.5 manager is so convoluted and hard to follow it took me a long time to figure this out.
I'm guessing that since it was a 4.0 Application that could not be processed by the 4.0 Engine the static file handler was being used by default.
I had the same problem. When I added Static content feaute for IIS, It works fine.
it could be multiple reason, in my case under Application pool->advance setting->Enable 32 bit application (should be true).It was set to false before.
Using IIS manager, I found that .aspx files were mapped (under "Handler Mappings") to ISAPI 2.0 - even though ASP.NET 4.5 had been previously installed. Editing them to point (also) to an executable for ISAPI 4.0 64bit fixed the issue.
The executable was found in
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
i received this message for an application on iis 7.5 with a classic app pool assigned to .net 2.0. i needed to go to Handler Mappings and add two script maps, both were the same with except for the name. one name was svc-ISAPI-2.0-64, the other was svc-ISAPI-2.0. The request path was .svc. And the Executable was %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll. i restarted iis and all was happy
One of the worst case scenario I just solved is - having conflicting entry in Web.config.
On my local machine I didn't had .woff extension registered in IIS, so I added it using Web.config. But on production server .woff had mime type registered. This caused application level conflict.
Funny part is there are no error logged for this. Just a guess work (first time of course).
So for me solution was just to remove and/or elements from web.config.
I had the same issue, I just changed the target framework version on the website to the version it is developed in,Same in IIS. This solved my problem. Hope this helps...
Thank You
I am getting an error when I want to create a web site on IIS server. I am using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010.
Do I have to register or configure asp.net 4.0 for the IIS ?
There aren't many details here, but I was getting that same error while trying to Start Debugging on a web application project in Visual Studio 2010 that I'd just changed from 3.5 to 4.0.
This solved the problem for me from the command line:
cd %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
Just make sure to go into IIS Manager afterwards and double-check your application pools and such, since it's likely that this will reset some of your configuration.
This did the trick for me:
In IIS > under .NET compilation
Note: Default Website is selected only for screenshot purposes.
Changing the Debug option to True
This error can appear if the password for the account used by the application pool changes. If you start getting this error after changing your network password you may need to update it for the application pool used by your local web sites as well.
In Visual Studio 2010 this usually means there is a problem with Web.Config file that cannot be displayed in Debug mode. So, simply start the app using Ctrl F5 to run in normal mode will tell you which line in Web.Config is faulty.
Check that the path of your site in IIS points to the path of your web project in VS.
I ran across this before and it was an issue of mismatched paths. If you've configured Visual Studio to use IIS and later on changed paths, IIS isn't updated automatically. You need to manually go into IIS and update the path.
Make sure your site is setup to debug (debug="true") under web.config file
<compilation targetFramework="4.0" debug="true">
For me this was related to this solution: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/83338/Does-not-have-write-access-to
cd %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
aspnet_regiis -i
aspnet_regiis -ga "IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool"
Note this didnt work after I did it on Framework folder and then worked after I did it on Framework64 folder. I guess do both to be sure.
Tried running vs2010 as administrator?
Also try
1. Open IIS. Click “Default Web Sites”.
Check if “Anonymous Authentication” is enabled.
Enable “Windows Authentication” as well.
I've had this several times - in my case it's always that I've not updated my hosts file so VS is trying to locate an external DNS instead of my local one.
I spent a few hours fighting with this issue. In the end it seems to be that some changes made outside VisualStudio had confused it. I don't know what the issue actually was but things started to work again when I opened a different version from the same solution so that VisualStudio (or IIS) did some magic on the IIS configuration. Then I changed back to the original solution, the configuration was again modified - and now debugging works again.
Another reason would be if you have SSL Certificate installed on IIS. You will have to disable the SSL from IIS manager for the application that you are debugging. Because Visual Studio tries to launch it as http instead of https.
In my case, I was receiving a 0x80004005 error message box in VS2019.
That was caused by HSTS being enabled in the "Advanced properties" on the website.
Screenshot of advance site settings in IIS
Found this post which seems useful if someone wants to do debugging with HSTS being enabled: https://scatteredcode.net/debugging-on-localhost-with-hsts/
I get this same error every time I set my project file as a share.
I resolved it by going into the security tab of the file and re-adding "IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool"
In my case, i have to change the certificates bindings in IIS>Default Web Site > Binding.

If you are using Visual Studio, you need to check what server you are trying to run your application on.

I have written a small ASP.NET application. It runs fine when running it with the small IIS installation that comes with Visual Studio 2005, but not when trying with IIS. I created the virtual directory in IIS where the application is located (done it though both IIS and VS 2005), but it does not work. In the beginning I thought it might be caused by the web.config file, but after a few tests, I think that the problem lies with IIS (not certain about it).
Some of the errors that I get are
Unable to start debugging on the web server. The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error ocurred on a receiver. Click help for more information
Can anybody give me a suggestion of what to try next?
Have you run aspnet_regiis?
Here's an overview site for different IIS versions setup and should help if there are other questions/issues
Try reinstalling aspnet_regiis.exe.
If you are using .net frameworkype 4.0 and using 64 bit system,
Go to Run, Type cmd and Command Prompt will be up, then type
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
If you are using 34 bit system,
Go to Run Type cmd and then type
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
The site won't load at all or you can't debug remotely?
Some thoughts:
Make sure you've got debugging enabled in your web.config, if you're trying to debug. Otherwise, build in 'Release' mode.
Make sure your project is set as an application, and is running as the correct version of .NET
More description of your setup and the error message would be useful.
Make sure that the customErrors is set to off in the web.config. That should show the actual exception.
Make sure that your virtual directory in IIS is set to the correct version of the .NET framework.
Look at the properties in the virtual directory and see that the correct default documents are the ones that you are using in your dev project.
Also look at the url headers for the website in IIS.
On some of our servers we have both versions of the .NET framework. In IIS I typically have to set what version the virtual directory should be using. This can cause problems running it on the server.
First make sure you have installed and configured IIS server. To check whether IIS server is installed: Run->inetmgr press enter.
To know how to install and configure IIS server check the following Link:
http://chalaki.com/install-iis6-windows-xp-professional-sp3-setup-run-csharp-cgi/425/
To develop Website using Visual developer with IIS instead of "default ASP.NET Development Server", In the new website window under "Location" click on "Browse" to see the different Server options including IIS Server. User can select the server as IIS server instead of "File System", then the "Location" option will be "HTTP" instead of "File System".
In Visual developer 2008 under Properties->Start Option->Server->"Use local IIS server" option is not shown, Even though IIS server was installed and configured successfully. the only options shown are "use default server" and " Use custom server with base URL".
So in Visual developer 2008 to run on IIS server(If IIS server is installed), Need do the following:
New Website -> Under Locations Click on "Browse" -> Click on "Local IIS" and then select the "IIS Virtual Directory"(IIS vitual Directory which is directory created by the user while configuring IIS server) -> Open
While Running/debugging, the server which you selected while creating the website, the same server will used to open the website, that is while creating the website if you selected "IIS Server" then the website will be opened though IIS server.
One more thing is, while installing Visual developer 2008 and IIS server, If you installed IIS server after installing Visual studio then you need to do the following before creating new website:
Run ->cmd press enter (then enter the following Command)-> C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\Version# aspnet_regiis -i press Enter then you get message after 3 seconds "ASP.net was installed successfully".
(*Version# will be v2.0.50727 in most cases)
