trouble serving .aspx scripts 2

[GreatSeaSpider]

Hi there,

Random problem with my windows 2k3 server running iis 6.

It's happily serving many many sites running coldfusion, but when i needed to quickly deploy a customer's simple .net site, i ran into a problem.....

i created a new application pool for the site, made sure that index.aspx was set as a default content page, created an application in the new application pool, and checked that aspx was set as an application extension. all looks fine!

However when i try to browse the site, all the .aspx files return a 404, but there's a couple of flat html files in there and they work fine.

any ideas what i'm missing?

cheers,

Pete

.Net isn't enabled by default. You need to turn it on in IIS web service extensions.

Glad that fixed it. If you look closely at the 404 error in the logs it is actually:

404.2 - Web service extension lockdown policy prevents this request

List or all status codes can be found here:

Why it is a '404' error at all is beyond me, but hey.
