The resource cannot be found

Hi all

I've got a wierd problem occurring when I create new web projects. As soon as I try to navigate to an ASPX web page - it gives me a 404 not found. I've checked the path and it is going to the correct location and the wierd thing is that 'plain' HTML files present no problem.

Can anyone help me with this, please?

Thanks as always

It didn't have access so I added it with Read & Execute and Read permissions on the folder - did an IISRESET but no change ...

Hmmm...if it didn't have access that could be where the problem is (i.e. it's a security issue).

You could try repeating the steps above from start to finish once you've added permissions for that ASPNET account on that folder (if you set the permissions on the folder you can go into the advanced settings and make it cascade the permissions down to each file and subfolder).

Also, first of all, try setting the permissions to Full Control to see if it works and then work backwards from there, removing the permissions you don't want them to have.

Tried it all from start to finish but no luck at all.

I'm afraid I can't think of anything else at the moment then. Hopefully someone will have some other ideas.

Well thanks for all your help - don't think it's unappreciated!

Once work is finished for the day I will reinstall IIS and see if that makes a difference.

did the reinstall of IIS do that trick? I am having the same issues...

Urk - it was a mission!

I uninstalled IIS, reinstalled IIS and then reinstalled the .NET framework and reregistered it with IIS - but a custom component totally corrupted my .NET installation to the extent that I had to create a new profile to access it!

Good luck
