test.aspx bringing up a 404 not found error

[nidifice]

I have a test.aspx file that displays a couple .net controls. This file works fine on my local pc.
When I move this file onto my live site (win2003) it comes up with a 404 not found error.

I've ran 'aspnet_iisreg.exe -i' and the file type exists in my IIS configuration.

Obviously I'm missing something and any help would be appreciated.

Did you set up and configure a new virtual directory?

Yes.
I added the virtual dir and gave it an app name/configuration.

Can you access other pages on the server without trouble?

Usually if the file exists on a different machine you get some sort of permissions error at least (not a file not found). You may check to make sure the asp.net user has access to the file on the server, but I really doubt that the problem is there.

.aspx pages are obviously configured to work on the server (even if they aren't, you typically don't get a 404)...

I don't know. If I were you, though, I'd focus my efforts making sure the file system/virtual directory are all set up correctly.

Maybe if you created a web setup project for your app and loaded everything through an .msi the directory issues would be automatically handled without further effort on your part.

I have an images folder inside of my app's folder and I can navigate to the images just fine
ex: h*tp://server/application/images/test.jpg

It's really wierd to get the 404 instead of some other error. I'll try some different settings and post whatever I can find out.

I managed to get this working.
The .aspx extension was denied in the Web Service Extensions and I had to give read/execute/dirlist access to the account 'servername'\ASPNET. This access had to be on the web root and the virtual directories.
