ASP.Net MVC Wildcard Mappings IIS 6.0 - Page Can Not be Found

1.1k views Asked by At

I added wildcard mappings to my website in IIS 6.0 so that my MVC application works properly but now I get a page can not be found for every request. Once wildcard mappings are inserted I can not browse to a test html file I created or any of my routes.

The site works fine when the wildcard mappings are off and I create a application extention called .mvc which is then used in my routes however I woupld prefer not using the extension in the Url.

Here are some highlights of my setup, server, and application:

Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0:
.Net 3.5 SP1
Bin deployment for the MVC dll's
Server has mutiple sites running on it. With this particular one being set up as its own site (not a virtual directory).
The site uses forms authentication
When setting up the wildcard mappings I unchecked "verify file exists" and mapped to c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.050727\aspnet_isapi.dll.

The web service extensions where pointing to framework64. As soon as the wildcard mapping was pointing to the correct folder (framework64 instead of framework) it worked.

Url rewriting can help you to solve the problem. I've implemented solution allowing to deploy MVC application at any IIS version even when virtual hosting is used. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/iis-aspnet-url-rewriting.aspx
