Virtual Directory "PAge Not Found" Problems

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi,

I'm just trying to get into setting up my companies internal website and
would like to use a Virtual Directory to access some files. However, after
I have set one up, any files I try to access in there e.g. test.htm, just
ends up with a 404 Not Found. Now, if I put the same test.htm file in say
the _layouts folder, then it works. By the same logic, if I copy one of the
existing virtual directory files e.g. _layous/1033/selcolor.htm and put
that in my virtual directory, then I also get a 404.

I am accessing the site via https://[ipaddres]:444/ and would like all
links etc to be accessible via the internet for our employees, hence the
need for the virtual server.

We have SBS2003 with IIS6. I have compared the properites of existing
virtual directories and everything appears the same.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Steve.

Take a look at the IIS log file, what's the status + sub status code ?

Hi,

Nothing is added to the log if I say try and get at selcolor.htm from the
Virtual directory I have created. Bascically I moved that file into there as
I know it work in the existing directories. However when I tried with the
create.aspx file instead I get a different error which says "Server Error in
'/_notice' Application" and then gives:

"<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

and

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Then in the log file it says:

2004-12-10 10:02:35 [ip address] GET /_notice/create.aspx - 444 - [ip
address]Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322) 401 2 2148074254

Obviously have removed the IP addreses for security.

Any help to you?

Cheers.

Steve.

Based on the IIS log you get:
401.2 - Logon failed due to server configuration.

what authentication you using ?
if you move the file to root, it works ?
it only happen to this virtual directory ?
