localhost 404 error after Setup runs...

 PLEASE HELP...

I am trying to get an installation of mojoPortal working on my local dev machine.  I have successfully deployed to 3 web serves w/o incident, but this has me stumped.

I am working with the source code, I have the latest version of the code and have used UnleashIt to copy the web folder to another folder on my hard drive.

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate x64.  The code is configured to use the MySQL database.

I have created a new site in IIS and have pointed the virtual directory to the same location where the web folder has been copied (c:\mojoportal\mysqldev)

When I try to visit the site (http://localhost) for the first time I am directed to the setup page and the process runs.  I have verified that the schema is created in the mysql database OK.  However, once the setup is done and I click on the "Home Page" link at the bottom of the setup page I receive a 404 error.  I have even tried to type in the page manually (http://localhost/default.aspx?pageid=1) and still receive the 404 error.

I can manually type in the address for the setup page and the process runs again (no errors) but the home page is still not found.

At this point I am assuming I have something configured in IIS wrong, but I find it strage that the setup process is working...

Please let me know if you need more info.  Is there a log that could tell me what is going on?

Thank you for your help,

David

Re: localhost 404 error after Setup runs...

Hi David,

Make sure the NETWORK SERVICE user has read permission on the root folder and read/write permission on the /Data folder

Or if you copied a "web" folder into the mysqldev folder then change the site home directory to c:\mysqldev\web

Make sure the  Default.aspx file exists in the root, and make sure you have configured all the file masks correctly for UnLeashIt or it may not have deployed all the needed files.

Hope it helps,

Joe

 Thanks Joe,  your response led me to realize that I did not include the skins folder in the UnLeashIt process.  It is running great now.
