ASP.NET 2.0: "hello world" page fails with "Failed to map the path

G

Guest

I've installed Visual Studio 2005 Beta from the MSDN cd dated Aug 2004, which
installs the 2.0 framework and ASP.NET 2.0. I write a simple aspx page
containing <HTML><BODY>Hello world</BODY></HTML> and place it in
inetpub\wwwroot. I run the page http://localhost/test.aspx and it fails with
"Server Error in '/' Application." "Failed to map the path '/test.aspx'. " I
can successfully run asp and htm pages from that same location, however.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply, Steve. I gave ASPNET_REGIIS.EXE -i a try, as you
suggested, but it did not change the outcome.

Hello randy,

I think this is because wwwroot is not a vroot. ASP.NET apps need to have
a vroot.

Thanks for your reply, Matt, however, I get this same error regardless of
whether I put the aspx page in a virtual directory or in the root of the
website. I can access asp pages from either of these. I reinstalled visual
studio 2005 a second time and reran the asp.net registration, too, to no
avail.
