Re: Page Not Found when navigating to localhost/

Hi,

Make sure default.aspx is the highest priority default document configured on the site in IIS.

Also make sure that you have not specified default.aspx as the url for any CMS pages in page settings. See How mojoPortal Works and you will understand that default.aspx serves every CMS page.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Page Not Found when navigating to localhost/

Are you seeing the mojoPortal page for 404 errors or are you seeing the IIS default 404 page?

If you created extensionless urls on your dev machine, those would probably result in 404 on Win 2003 because it does not support extensionless urls for ASP.NET without some custom configuration or isapi filter.

Is it possible that you have something else on the server that is redirecting things before it gets to mojoPortal and causing a 404, ie custom url rewrite module or something installed in IIS?

See also Moving an Installation of mojoPortal to a Different Server.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Page Not Found when navigating to localhost/

Hi Magian,

we had exactly the same problem (missing picture and unneeded redirect to login.aspx for annonymous users) . It could be solved with your explanation:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I checked IIS 7 again in the Authentication settings for the site and I made a change to Anonymous Authentication. Initially it was set to Specific User and I believe the user name was set to something like IUSER. I changed this setting to Application pool identity, which my Application Pool in IIS is set to use Network Service.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank your very much.
