Problem in running .net framework 4.0 website on iis 7.0

Question

Go to IIS manager and click on the server name. Then click on the "ISAPI and CGI Restrictions" icon under the IIS header. Change ASP.NET 4.0 from "Not Allowed" to "Allowed".

If you look in the ISAPI And CGI Restrictions, and everything is already set to Allowed, then make sure that the ASP.NET v4.0.30319 handlers are even in the list. In my case they were not. This can be easy to overlook.

I added one for 32 %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll and another for 64 bit %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll. You can name them both the same ASP.NET v4.0.30319.

Check Allow extension path to execute.

1. Go to the IIS Manager.
2. open the server name like (PC-Name)\.
3. then double click on the ISAPI and CGI Restriction.
4. then select ASP.NET v4.0.30319(32-bit) Restriction allowed.

In my case, the problem was more severe: turns out asp.net was not correctly registered.

This response worked fine.

simply ran the following command at the command prompt

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

If I had been on a 32 bit system, it would have looked like the following:

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.21006\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Step 1: Open IIS and click the server name Step 2. Double click “ISAPI and CGI Restrictions” Step 3. Right click ASP.NET v4.0.30319 and select “allow”
