404.4 and 404.0 when requesting default document

Reply Contact

I'm migrating an existing site to IIS7, and I've having some issues in doing so. I have set the default document to default.aspx in inetmgr, but when I request the page in the browser ("http://localhost"), I get a 404.4 error. I then added a handler for static files and specified a "*" for the path and verb. The 404.4 goes away, but then I get a 404.0. Note that if I request default.aspx explicitly ("http://localhost/default.aspx), IIS serves the page up with no problems. What else should I do to troubleshoot this? I just can't figure out why I would get a 404.0 for the default document. Thanks in advance! -T

Hello,

Do you have any errors in systemroot\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR ?

Thanks for the response. To answer your question, there are no error logs at that location.

1. Http.sys log file should be in systemroot\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR, Is your server a fresh new one?

2. Create a new aspx page named like "Home.aspx". to see 404.0 error still occurs.

3. Could find your log files in C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles by default?

Thanks

404.4 and 404.0 are two different error codes..
404.0 - Not found.
404.4 - No handler configured.

Try simple html page first, then try the aspx page. Make sure you go .net framework installed.

Hi, I'm akilhoffer's partner on this.

In reply to both Andrew and qbernard, please note that when any page is called directly, they load properly with no errors. The only problem comes from entering just the domain name or localhost, we get a 404.0 error:

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Detailed Error Information

Module	IIS Web Core
Notification	MapRequestHandler
Handler	StaticFile
Error Code	0x80070002

Requested URL	http://beta.example.com:80/
Physical Path	C:\projects\Main\edge\Web
Logon Method	Anonymous
Logon User	Anonymous
Failed Request Tracing Log Directory	C:\inetpub\logs\FailedReqLogFiles

This happens whether or not I set up a plain html doc or aspx page as the default doc. I have tried both ways, same error.

As for the log files, I did find them, but they did not seem to be too helpful - they only showed looking for the page and then returning a 404, as if the page did not exist - but if I call it directly, the page loads just fine.

Any other suggestions? Or if you need more info, just ask.

Ok, and I assumed you got default doc component installed. In this case, can you do the FREB tracing on 404 status... also look at the IIS log.. post the 404 entry here.

Re: 404.4 and 404.0 when requesting default document

Fixed it. For future reference, the solution was really stupid. In the web.config, the Static File handler with the Static File Module and Default Document Module had the "resourceType" set to "file". The other options are "folder" and "either". Obviously, I want the Default Doc module to handle folder and file requests, so the correct choice is "either", which fixed everything.
