  ASPX, IIS7 & default documents Reply Contact aspx, IIS7 & default documents Hi all, Sorry, I am not very good with IIS7 yet, but I have a particular problem that is driving me mad. I have a single page asp.net web application, developed in C# under VS2008. The page is just default.aspx I publish the site to an IIS7 web server on another machine, and create an application for it (integrated). The site has default document enabled. When I try to access the page, I get the following results: Local machine http://localhost/myapp  Works http://localhost/myapp/default.aspx Works Local network machine http://server/myapp   Works http://server/myapp/default.aspx Works Internet http://www.somethingfishy.com/myapp Works http://www.somethingfishy.com/myapp/default.aspx FAILS! When I get it, the error is strange, and I have not been able to get any better diagnostic: Server Error in '/' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies)..... /myapp/default.aspx Any help would be appreciated Baffled of England

  Re: ASPX, IIS7 & default documents Reply Contact 1)is the default.aspx document listed on the server on the internet? 2) anything strange in the event log? 3) Can you post the iis logs for a single request? 4) On the server displaying the Internet name locally, does it list a more detailed status code.  Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS MCTS - Windows Hosting http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.iislogs.com http://www.orcsweb.com/ Managed Hosting Solutions #1 in Service and Support

  Re: ASPX, IIS7 & default documents Reply Contact Hi Steve Thanks for getting back to me. To answer your questions: 1. No, I cannot access default.aspx from the IIS machine via it's internet address 2. There is nothing at all to be seen in the event log for the server machine. 3. The following log entries were taken in IIS format. The first entry is a request to http://www.mywebsite.com/myApp The second entry is a request to http://www.mywebsite.com/myApp/default.aspx 81.96.84.217, -, 6/27/2008, 18:55:53, W3SVC1, DESKTOP, 192.168.1.6, 26, 710, 383, 301, 0, GET, /myApp, -, 81.96.84.217, -, 6/27/2008, 18:55:53, W3SVC1, DESKTOP, 192.168.1.6, 198, 711, 758, 200, 0, GET, /myApp/, -, The following lines are W3C format, for the same two requests: 2008-06-27 17:57:22 192.168.1.6 GET /myApp - 80 - 81.96.84.217 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+7.0;+Windows+NT+6.0;+MathPlayer+2.10b;+SLCC1;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727;+Media+Center+PC+5.0;+Tablet+PC+2.0;+.NET+CLR+3.5.21022;+.NET+CLR+3.0.04506) 301 0 0 22 2008-06-27 17:57:22 192.168.1.6 GET /myApp/ - 80 - 81.96.84.217 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+7.0;+Windows+NT+6.0;+MathPlayer+2.10b;+SLCC1;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727;+Media+Center+PC+5.0;+Tablet+PC+2.0;+.NET+CLR+3.5.21022;+.NET+CLR+3.0.04506) 200 0 0 331 There are also no entries from Failed Event Tracing. A log file is not created. 4. There are no more detailed error messages to be seen by making the request from the IIS machine. In IIS7, I have set up detailed error messages for error 404. Still, nothing is shown other than the same old: Server Error in '/' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. Requested URL: /myApp/default.aspx And, yes, I have already done a sanity check. I am happy that default.aspx exists!!!   Thanks for your time   All the best   col

  Re: ASPX, IIS7 & default documents Reply Contact I have some further light to shed on this (but that is not to say I have a solution!) My web site is reached through a url redirect, courtesy of dynamic DNS.... Web forwarding by my domain, from (e.g.) http://www.somethingfishy.com does a framed forwarding to my server, which is reached at http://somethingfishy.gotdns.com, and points at my web server machine. http://www.somethingfishy.com/myApp/default.aspx does not work, but http://somethingfishy.gotdns.com/myApp/default.aspx does Standard html pages work fine. I am still stumped for a solution, though!

  Re: ASPX, IIS7 & default documents Reply Contact It sounds like the internet forwarding service does not recognize default.aspx as a default document.  Can you add to the list of default documents. 1) Try adding index.htm or index.html with a metatag refresh to the default.aspx.  So in the order of default documents on your server, it'll process the standard HTML page which does a redirect to your ASPX page.  Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS MCTS - Windows Hosting http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.iislogs.com http://www.orcsweb.com/ Managed Hosting Solutions #1 in Service and Support
