Hi,

My production server is down and "luckily" I have zip the whole web applications yestersday and place it in a backup media.

Now, I find a dummy machine and unzip the file and the web application is not working. Other apps such as web services are all ok. Just the WGX is not work.

I try to load the image or plain HTML inside the web application and it can load, means that the virtual folder and URL is correct.

The WCF web service is run correctly so I assume that the database is ok and the IIS can run .NET4.0 code.

I have check the mappings. It is setup correctly; with all 4 items, .NET2.0 32bit and 64bit, plus .NET4.0 32bit and 64bit are all in place.

Now, the production server is still down (and waiting for hardware parts), and the dummy server is not working. What should I do next ?

Both the production and dummy servers are 64-bit and running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit. Both have .NET3.5 built-in and .NET4.0 installed.

The Error message is look like: felixchan.servehttp.com/temp/error01.jpg

 Hi Felix,

Please check the mappings if they are set to be used only to invoke if a physical file is found. You should find the setting under the handler's restrictions name something like "Invoke handler only if request is mapped to"...

You should also check if the application pool set for the application is Classic or Integrated. Most likely it should be in Integrated mode. 

If you are using NET4.0 (VS2010) the application must also be using v4.0 .NET framework.

Hope this helps,

Palli

 Hi Felix,

I'm sorry to hear about your problems and glad at the same time that you were able to sort them out.

I can not say what may have been wrong, but based on the fact that by setting it up again from ground up, that would mean that something wihin IIS was either missing or not correctly registered. 

I assume case is closed then, unless you notify otherwise.
