I have the same problem.
page not found when using http://localhost/sitename to view local asp.net website in a browser
I have installed windows vista and in
control panel > programs and features > Turn Windows features on or off
I have enabled Internet Information Services as well as in stalled .net frame work and check the Asp.net boxes in
control panel > programs and features > Turn Windows features on or off > Internet Information Services
if I type http://localhost the default page shows (iisstart) html document, but none of the default pages will show for any folders or asp.net websites I create for it.
also:
.aspx is not listed in the MIME types
does it need to be listed there? If so, what is the MIME type for the .aspx extention in iis7?
In IIS 6 on windows XP once iis 6 asp.net framework was installed all you'd have to do is righ click in iis to create an application and it worked when you goto http://localhost/site name
