Works in VS Cassini Server but not on IIS - What am I missing? 

I have gone through setting up DNN (I've got my handy copy of Professional DotNetNuke 4 (from Wrox) and also read a couple of articles about configuring DNN on Windows Vista.  It's working fine on my Cassini server with VS2008 but when I publish to IIS now I get a "file not found" error.  it's frustrating because I've configured IIS to look for "default.aspx" and I've confirmed there IS a "default.aspx" in the root directory of my site, but nevertheless I'm getting that error.

What have I forgotten to check?  Once my site worked in Cassini, I published the site from VS2008 to the IIS server (using File System, since it's local to my LAN), but I can get nowhere once it's published.  What am I doing wrong?

Re: Works in VS Cassini Server but not on IIS - What am I missing? 

Did you update your portal alias?  If not, change this in the portal alias table, and then restart the application.

Here are some other suggestions if that doesn't work:

  • I know I am stating what should be obvious, but have you confirmed that the Home Directory is pointing to the right folder for your DNN install? 
  • Is Default.aspx the first file in the list of "default" pages?
  • Make sure that you do not have any rewrite rules getting in the way.  Check this in your SiteUrls.config file.
  • Do you have anything in your site that might be redirecting the page request?  (logic in a module or skin)

Re: Works in VS Cassini Server but not on IIS - What am I missing? 

This is quite frustrating.

I did find that I needed to make the change in the database.

This is a REAL newb question, but do I have to install DNN on the IIS server?  I mean, I installed it to my Visual Studio, then created a new DNN project, then published that entire project to my IIS directory.  Is that sufficient, or do I have to do something else?  I'm sure this is a dumb question, but I've been staring at this for 24 hours now, and I'm afraid that my years of ISP experience is making me presume/assume things that I should not presume/assume.

Re: Works in VS Cassini Server but not on IIS - What am I missing? 

There is not an "install" for IIS persay,,,  But you do need to ensure a couple of minor things at the server level.

  • The correct versions of the .Net Framework need to be installed
  • Make sure that the permissions for you site are correct  - the correct account needs modify permissions for the entire site (Network Service for Win 2003 Srvr, and ASPNET for WinXp)
  • Your permissions should inherit from the parent folder unless it also has the correct permissions
  • Your site or virtual directory in IIS should have the correct version of the .Net framework chosen
  • Do not have too many Application Pools
