Installation Problems (404 errors)

[madrat]

After reinstalling both IIS and .Net in Win2K I still only run aspx files in certain directories. I can run them in the inetpub directory and in the root directory of any virtual directories I create. I cannot run them from a subdirectory of a virtual directory, I get the following error:<BR><BR>The resource cannot be found. <BR><BR>Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. <BR><BR>It seems like no one else has this problem. I don't think it has to do with any IIS permissions because I enabled all of them and I can run asp files from the same directories that I can't run aspx files. <BR><BR>Any suggestions? Thanks!Are the subdirectories inheriting permssions from parent?In IIS, I do believe that permissions are inherited. But I figured it out after all. It turned out to be related to the security warning on ASP.net download page. <BR><BR> (See http://www.asp.net/security.aspx)<BR><BR>To fix the problem, right-click on the subdirectory, go to properties, then the security tab, finally add a user named <MyComputer>ASPNET with Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read permissions. <BR><BR>As far as inheritance of security settings, it seems that subdirectories of a virtual directory root DO NOT inherit, but once you set permissions on that subdirectory, any folders within it are accessible. Kind of annoying, but not nearly as annoying as getting ridiculous 404 errors for 2 weeks...
