Windows Server 2008 R2 + IIS 7.5 + ASP.NET 4.0 = HTTP Error 500.0
- by Dave
I am having an impossible time getting asp.net 4.0 to work in any fashion at all. In fact, I completely wiped my server, reinstalled with Server 2008 R2 Standard (running on a VMWare ESXi box, not that it should matter), and cannot even get a test .aspx page to work.
Here is exactly what I did:
Installed 2008 R2 Standard
Activated windows and enabled Remote Desktop
Installed the Web Server Role with the necessary role services(common http, asp.net, logging, tracing, management service and FTP)
Enabled the management service
Installed .Net Framework 4.0 via web executable
Added FTP publishing to the default web site
Switched default web site application pool to asp.net 4.0 (integrated)
Added a 'test.aspx' file to the inetpub\wwwroot folder (contents below)
Opened a browser to http://localhost/test.aspx and received a 500.0 error (also below)
What am I missing? I haven't touched IIS in a while (3+ years), so it could be something stupid/trvial. Please point it out, call me a noob; my ego can take it.
Thanks,
Dave
