Hi All,

 I am relatively new to DotNetNuke but have been working as ASP.NET developer for a while now.

 I am trying to install dnn 7.1.1 on Windows 2008 Server with SQL 2008 R2. As soon as I finish installing the site and navigate to the site, I see the splash screen with 404 - File or directory not found but in the backgroud I can see the default page displaying correctly. If I manually enter another address in the URL text box and try to navigae such as http://www.mydomain.com/About-Us gives me 404 again.

I have tried to look for solutions in this forum and found this Ver 7.1: 404 - Not found "Getting-Started" post which seems to be in-conclusive at the moment with no resolution. I have tried making a post to this post but it seems that it will be some time before the post will be available for others to see as it is moderated so I decided to create a new thread.

 Basically, I have tried deleting and re-installing the site a few times with an IP address as the host name, a proper domain name and www.dnndev.me but all with the same outcome.

It is interesting to note here that I was able to create the site on my dev environment (windows 7 pc, SQL2008) as www.dnndev.me and seems to work fine.

 Any help in this regard will be much appreciated.

 Thanks

Hi All,

Just an update, I have gone back to V7.1.0 and can install without the above problem.

Will report if there are any further issues.

Thanks

Ok, have this solved on IIS7.

Issue is in the web config the

 <system.webserver>
    </system.webserver>

This fixes:

  • 404 on the get started page
  • 404 on all pages other than the homepage

Thanks in advance

Ok found the answer eventually in one of your other posts. Just in case someone needs the solution I quote your other post: 

Ok, have this solved on IIS7.

Issue is in the web config the <modules tag needs to be changed to the following:

 <system.webServer>

    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">

This fixes:

    Cheers
