ASP.NET Context RewritePath 404 Error

Question

I have an .net 4.0 web application works like a charm at my local computer and old web server. Both computer uses classic and .net 4.0 application pool without any problems.

But when i migrated to a new web server it gives 404 error instead of rewriting urls. I created a new application as simple as it can be. It rewrites all request paths to default.aspx as seen as below:

Global.asax.cs

protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Context.RewritePath("default.aspx", false);
}

I can access default.aspx if i make a direct request to file itself but when i make a request to an adress except 'default.aspx' i get 404 error from static file handler.

Do you have any idea, how can i fix it?

You must check application pool identity settings. Make sure your web application's appPool Identity is set ApplicationPoolIdentity and Managed Pipeline Mode should be Integrated.

Then check your web config system.webserver modules and enable this configuration on your application web config.

<system.webServer><modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"> </modules></system.webServer>
