Configuring ASP.NET web site in IIS 6.0

Question

I have installed IIS and .NET 4.0 on Windows Server 2003.

I have a web ready website that that targets .NET 4.0 and have updated the default website home directory to map to the website's directory.

When I visit the website in a web browser (localhost, localhost:80), I get a 404 error (File or directory not found).

Here is the IP address so you can see for yourself. http://72.45.244.92/

How do I get my ASP.NET 4.0 website to run?

Answer 1

You need to install IIS before installing .NET 4.0. If IIS is installed after .NET 4.0, you need to use command prompt and run the aspnet_regiis tool located in the .net 4.0 directory.

Answer 2

1. Did you install ASP.NET in the using the Add or Remove Programs dialog box on the Control Panel?
2. In IIS Manager: did you allow the ASP.NET Web Service Extension?
