I have a web application that runs fine under IIS5 or IIS6. I just installed Vista, which has IIS7. I just copied the entire web app over as-is, no changes to any files. I went into the IIS7 manager and created a web appliction under the Default Web Site and pointed it to the app I copied over.
When I try to browse to the app in IE, it tells me there's nothing there to handle it and that directory browsing is not turned on. This is a .NET app, so it uses Default.aspx. I looked in the manager, and there was no handling of Default.aspx setup. Is that not on by default for IIS7?
So, I added Default.aspx, and now the error is "HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map."
I thought maybe it was because the default for IIS7 is Integrated Mode, so I created a new AppPool for Classic Mode and changed my app to use that. I still get the same error.
I was under the impression that I could move .NET apps to IIS7 without any changes. Is this not true?
0) Check if you have asp.net extensions installed under Programs and Features - Windows Features - WWW services - Application Development Features - .Net Extensibility / ASP.Net
1) The Microsoft .net framework
2) Try copying the whole directory to your IIS's root folder (usually wwwroot), common error that iuser/iwam does not have rights to read the other folder.
3) Check under "Handler Settings" if you have .aspx associated with any Isapimodules.

We hosted the website in IIS. When we test the home page of our site IIS suddenly offering to download the aspx page instead of rendering .
We hosted the website in IIS 7.0. Website developed with DotnetFramework 4.0.
Please help me in identify the bottom of the problem.
You'll need to drop into the command prompt and navigate to the folder;
c:\windows\microsoft.NET\Framework\V4.0.30319\
and type the command aspnet_regiis -i
this will configure the IIS server to correctly process the aspx files - not sure why it would work previously and then suddenly stop working, have you used this explicit version of .NET on this server before?
You have to configure it once again. Before that, follow some steps mentioned below:
You have to build the web application within your Visual Studio.
After successful build,you have to publish the application and save that published copy to specific folder say 'MyPublieshedApp'.
Start IIS and add new website. You have to point the folder which contains the published content of your application. In this case the folder should be 'MyPublishedApp'.
Set the application pool and set the framework version to ASP.NET 4.0.
5.Then browse one of the page after configuring it into the IIS.
May be this will help you.
I am having a problem setting up a website under IIS 7. I have created an application and the application pool for the application. Application pool is using .Net Framework 4.0 as my .net app is written in .Net Framework 4.0. Application pool is set to use classic Pipeline Mode. MIME Types have been automatically added to .asp & .aspx.
When I run the website windows explorer is showing me "View Downloads" and trying to download "application name localhost" when it downloads the file I notice that its the html of my default.aspx. I have checked Default Document and it contains Default.aspx.
If I remove .asp & .aspx MIME Types then I get an error: HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.
I have seen this problem many times. IIS is not serving aspx pages and most likely is not running for the entire server or that site.
For the entire server: Check to see if iis world wide web service is running.
For the site alone: Hit run inside IIS.
You can easily know if IIS is running properly by going to IIS and hit the browse option from inside a web site.
With the data you have put these are the things I would try in order if I were you:
Check in Server Manager/ Features if ASP.NET is installed (ServerManager/Roles/Web Server(IIS) look for ASP.NET
Check IIS Manager if everything is ok by:
Try to browse a test.html file to see if you are able to browse normal
Check Basic settings by clicking Test Settings
Check Handler Mappings to see if aspx is there.
Try to browse a sample test.aspx page with test data.
Check Application pool settings.
Reinstall Framework 4.0
Reboot machine ( a classical)
If you gave us more info and/or the ouput of my proposed tests maybe can help more. Good Luck :)
I had the 404.17 error happening on a server today. As you and cad mentioned, I checked the framework of the Application Pool that my site was using to make sure it was set to ASP.Net 4.0, and it was. What happened in my case is that my site was not using the application pool that I thought it was. My site was nested under another site, meaning my site pointed to a subfolder but another site was pointing to the root folder. Even though I had my site set to use the ASP.Net 4.0 Application Pool, the root site used a different Pool that had ASP.Net turned off, it was set to "No managed code". When I set the framework to 4.0 for the Pool the parent site was using, then my site started working.
In my case the solution was fixing the Handler mappings as explained here: http://forums.iis.net/post/1943489.aspx
IIS Manager->high-light you web site->click Handler Mappings icon on
the home pane->click Revert to Parent...
on the right Actions pane
I have an Asp.Net 4.0 Web Forms project that uses url routing for user friendly urls, i.e hiding aspx-pages behind clear text urls.
In this project we have an asmx web service that serves some jQuery controls on the pages. Everything has worked fine so far on development machines and the internal testing site but now when we installed the project on a production site the asmx calls are trapped by the routing code.
We have a catch all route that is added last that shows the Not found -page.
When I open the web service on the server (http://localhost/service.asmx?op=MyWebMethod), enter some values and click Invoke I get the Not found page. The url that Invoke opens is http://localhost/service.asmx/MyWebMethod so it's all quite logical (service.asmx looks like a directory) but I don't understand how this can work on all other installations of the same project.
The production server is Windows 2008 Server R2 Standard, the project is Asp.net 4.0 and I haven't registered any StopRoutingHandler for asmx-files.
The web.config files are identical between the internal testing site and the production site and the machine.config -files haven't been touched to my knowledge.
routes.Add(new Route("{resource}.asmx/{*pathInfo}", new StopRoutingHandler()));
I had a website hosted in IIS. One small section of it needed asp.net. So I just right-clicked that section/directory and made it an application and a virtual directory.
Is that alright? Or does the entire "website" need to be made into an application and virtual directory?
The reason I ask is that when I try to browse to the aspx page in this "application", I am getting a parser error message "Could not load type...MyCodeBehindType" in the page directive, which seems to me to indicate that it is not finding the dll's, or even the code behind class files (which are clearly in the same directory).
EDIT:
If I do it this way, with only a subfolder of my website actually being a web application, where do I put the dlls? In a bin folder of the website the web application is within? Or in a bin folder of the web application?
Making just a folder within a website, an application, should be fine. I usually have to remember to change the version of ASP.NET from 1.1 to 2.x, that may be what's causing the error.
In order to test the configuration, start with a blank test page (blank.aspx) with just HTML. If the HTML shows up, you know IIS is serving .NET pages.
If there is a problem with ASP.NET not being correctly registered for IIS, you could try re-registering it. Open the following folder:
%WindowsDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\x.x.x\
and run:
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
I am trying to get a web application project working, after we moved from a StarTeam repository to a TFS repository. I have a web site on my local IIS for the project; this web site is up and serving static content when I test it, but when I copy and past the URL to that site into the Local IIS Web server's Project Url in VS 2010, I get a message that the local IIS URL has not been configured. The popup that displays this message offers me the chance to create a new virtual directory, but this fails. Anyway, this is not what I wish to do.
I usually find myself setting things up in IIS and then copying the URL into VS, but I ensure:
IIS has IIS6 management compatibility components installed.
The folder in IIS is the root of a web application.
The app pool for the web app is configured with the correct .NET version.
And to add to Richard's answer:
Ensure the site's binding in IIS is set to "All Unassigned"
