    how to set up IIS7 under Vista

    Reply Contact

    I had installed Vista Enterprise, and then turned on IIS7 (with all needed components including ASP.NET support) from control panel due to installation instructions from Windows Help. My Vista came with .net fx version 3.0 built-in, and therefore i downloaded .net fx version 3.5 from MS site and installed it.

    After, when i tried to open my asp.net application in browser, the IIS7 displayed a error screen with "MIME type handler is not set" error. Then i had look at my IIS7 settings: there is no asp.net file extensions under mime types, and no "Default.aspx" in "Documents". But under "ISAPI filters" i have "ASP.Net_2.0.50727.0". What i must do to make my ASP.NET applications run? Please tell, where can i get whitepapers about manual configuring IIS7 for serving ASP.NET applications.

    This happens because you have multiple versions of the framework on the same machine. ASP.NET IIS Registration Tool which is a part of .NET Framework Tools may come in handy.

    Problem resolved!!!

    I has deleted the "Default Web Server" host from IIS completely. Then i had added a new host with same name - and all settings became correct and this is wonderful!!!!!!!! My applications now works ok. The problem was, i'm sure, in Default Web Site's web.config file (this host was created by IIS7 when not all IIS7 extensions were installed) and, of course, my inattention.

    Thanks to all!!

    Next time when your changes don't take effect, instead of going throught the troubles of deleting and recreating thewebsite you can try to restart WWW Publishing Service:

    net stop w3svc & net start w3svc

    Glad it helped!
