    IIS 7.0 - HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found - Static File Handler.

    Hi Friends,

     Recently I had migrated my web service from IIS 6.0 to IIS 7.0.
    before that my web application used to execute perfectly without errors...

    Presently after upgrading:
    When I browse from webservice am getting error as:


    " HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found
    The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler. "


    => Application pool for “MyApplication” is “Classic .NET AppPool”

    My System Details:

    1)Windows Vista Ent , 32 Bit

    2)VS 2008

    3)ISS 7.0 (recently upgraded)...


    Please help me out, Let me know work around or please guide me if I am doing anything wrong.


    Thanks & regards

    Hi,

    The 404.17 error indicates dynamic content mapped to the static file handler. The pre-selected setup defaults of IIS 7.0 only provide the IIS modules required to support static content.

    Please make sure the ASP.NET role service is installed. You can refer to the ASP.NET Workload section in the following article:

    More specifically, it means that you have a mapping for that content to something other than StaticFile, but that handler mapping does not apply for the current pipeline mode (integrated/classic), bitness (32/64 bits) or even asp.net version - you would normally need to have multiple mappings to asp.net for any extensions for it to work across all possible combinations of those things.
