  Statis ASPX and 404 Error Reply Contact All,  I am very new to IIS and have run across a problem I have been unable to find an answer to. I am attempting run a very basic static aspx file (not unlike "hello world"). I've written the code and there is nothing wrong there, but when I try to "browse" it while in the IIS Manager, I get a "Page not found" error. I've gone through all the "normal" hoops that I can think of to verify if IIS has the page loaded correctly. There's nothing complicated about my aspx but for some reason IIS is not accepting it. I've even created a similar static test HTML page and that works fine. Does anyone have any ideas?  Thanks, Joel

  Re: Static ASPX and 404 Error Reply Contact Are you running this on IIS 6 and did you enable ASP.NET in the Web Service Extensions? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315122 FWIW, this forum is for classic .asp pages, the forum for ASP.NET .aspx pages is at http://forums.iis.net/1038/ShowForum.aspx ...

I checked to see if the aspx extension has been enabled and it had not. However when I go to add it, it wants a specified DLL file. I am unfamiliar with which DLL handles that extension. The microsoft help page is also very vague.  Thanks, Joel

  Re: Static ASPX and 404 Error Reply Contact You shouldn't need to do that, ASP.NET is a pre-existing Web Service Extension in IIS 6.0  - it's either allow or not allow. Regardless, the dll is at %windir%\microsoft.net\framework\version_number\aspnet_isapi.dll Tom Kaminski IIS MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ http://blogs.iis.net/tomkmvp/ http://www.linkedin.com/pub/8/690/408 http://www.bluesrepublic.org/

What do I need to do to activate the default document? I've added my aspx file to the default documents property within the Default Web Site properties. This doesn't resolve the issue. Is there something more I need to do?  Thanks for the help!
