Member	rsmith-uniteform - 5/19/2009 6:42:48 AM Installation Hi, I'm trying to install Kentico on a test server with the following environment ... 2003 Server SQL Server 2005 When the installer has finished and gives me a link to click on, the page http://localhost/Kentico just comes up with 'The Page cannot be found' Any help most appreciated.


Kentico Developer	kentico_martind - 5/26/2009 2:44:41 AM RE:Installation Hello, Could you please try suggestion described in "The page cannot be found" right after the Web installer has finished article? Best Regards, Martin Dobsicek


Member	vlado - 3/2/2011 6:06:29 PM RE:Installation I have the same problem with Windows 2003 and .NET 4.0. (I need the 4.0 framework since I am using components written in it. ) When I switch IIS to Framework 2.0 the site works fine. As soon as I switch IIS to 4.0 I get “The page cannot be found” error. The fix in article above did not help. Any idea what could cause the problem? Thanks Vlado

RE:Installation

I need to add to above text that I was installing it using Remote Desktop and running the installer direct on the server and let the installer create a virtual directory. I tried both web.configs from article http://devnet.kentico.com/Knowledge-Base/Installation/Installing-Kentico-CMS-5-5-on-remote-server-using-.aspx - no remedy. Kentico version 5.5.R2.11


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 3/3/2011 11:41:14 AM RE:Installation Hi, Could you please send us the exact error message you are getting? Which .Net version was selected when installing the web site? Is appropriate .Net version installed on the server and is correctly registered in the IIS? Best regards, Juraj Ondrus


Member	vlado - 3/3/2011 12:07:52 PM RE:Installation Juraj, Never mind, I think the problem is in our Windows 2005. When I choose in ISS .NET 4 and restart IIS it comes back to .NET 2. Tried reinstall framework 4 meny time and it behaves the same way. Need to Google more. Thank you very much for response.

RE:Installation

Hi,

Could you please try using regiis command to register the .Net framework - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h.aspx?

Also, please go to Control Panel -> Programs and features -> Turn windows features on or off -> Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services -> and check the ASP.Net item.

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus

RE:Installation

Here is the solution:

(I have to correct myself: it is Windows Server 2003 not 2005 as I mentioned above)

After you install .Net Framework on Windows Server 2003 do the following steps:

1. From your Run command, type inetmgr and press enter.
2. Expand the appropriate nodes in the IIS to locate the "Webservice Extensions" Node
3. Click on the same.
4. You will find a list of "prohibited" extensions in the right.
5. Click on ASP.NET v4.0 and "allow" it

You need to do it only with Windows 2003, because all the extensions are "Prohibited" by default to ensure security.
