  Re: asp page not found error when browsed Reply Contact Hi, If you look in the IIS log files for the web site in question you should be able to see the full status code (including sub-status) for the failed request. A 404 error usually means simply that the resource requested was not found but it can also mean that the web server is mis-configured in some way, for example if you see a 404.2 in IIS 6 usually means that the web service extension you are calling hasn't been enabled. Once you have determined the HTTP status code in your log file refer to this KB article for further troubleshooting tips : Description of Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 and 6.0 status codes   Regards, Paul Lynch | www.iisadmin.co.uk

  Re: asp page not found error when browsed Reply Contact Thanks so much for the response. I looked at the log file I found one for all of the IIS but nothing for the individual website, is there something else I should be looking for? Also I didn't see anything about the error in there, I noticed too that any changes I make affect my other working websites, even if I don't change the default website properties, then I have to restart IIS to get them to be ok again. I have some working .net asp pages on the server already (not ones I created) and when I compare the properties of them to my new one (and they are the same) the old one works and mine doesn't. The file is located in the same shared folder that the rest of the websites are located in, with the same permissions and format... i'm not sure what would be different. Thanks again for all of the help, any other suggestions are appreciated! :)  Julie

  Re: asp page not found error when browsed Reply Contact Hi Julie, The IIS log files are typically located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles, you can see folders with name W3SVC, each folder is used for one of the web site. You can look at fields like sc-status, sc-substatus, sc-win32-status in the log files.

  Re: asp page not found error when browsed Reply Contact Hey! I had a look at the LogFiles but I don't see anything in regards to the page I am trying to get working, just the already exisiting working pages. And no the page does not redirect to any other Url. It just says "404 Not Found" nothing else. I've tried two different ways to create the virtual directory, 1- by going into IIS and creating a new virtual directory and linking it to the folder for with the aspx page in it, and setting the properties to match an already exisiting working one. 2- I have gone to the folder for the website application and went to web sharing and selected to share it with the Default website which is where the other website applications are located. Any other suggestions of ways to create a virtual directory?  Thanks!!  Julie

If your IIS logs don't show the request, it isn't getting to the server.  Might be redirecting to a different server. Also, any subcode on the 404, such as 404.1, etc.?  Have you checked permissions on the virtual folder?  Is the virtual folder configured as an application?

  Re: asp page not found error when browsed Reply Contact Jewels.08: It just says "404 Not Found" nothing else. Is that all it says, those three words?  If so, I don't think that's the standard 404 message from IIS ... could something else be in the way?
