Hi,

I have installed the latest monox and the initial pages all work fine. I can see the home and content pages, login to admin etc.

As soon as I attempt to view a groups page it gives a 404 not found error eg
http://localhost/MonoX/MonoX/Pages/SocialNetworking/Groups/GroupView/tTEhT5qOAE-0VZ4pAYNDfA/Aiden/

I'm guessing its something to do with url routing but cant figure out specifically what.

I'm running .Net 3.5 SP1.

Cheers

Hi,
I assume that you are using IIS 5.1 or 6. Since the group part (and many others) are using the "rewritten" URLs - they do not have the .aspx extension - you need to set the "wildcard mapping" in IIS so it could catch all requests, including the ones for "extensionless" resources. This feature is crucial for SEO and many other techniques.

By default, only the .aspx and related files (.ashx, .asmx) are mapped to the ASP.NET runtime. You can change this by following tis procedure:
- right click on the Web site you want to administer, Properties, Home directory tab, Configuration button. Copy the executable path from one of the existing ASP.NET extensions (.asax, for example). Click on the insert button, paste the executable path you copied in the previous step, and uncheck "Verify that file exists". This should fix this problem.

I am having the exact same issue, but in Windows7... What are the steps for IIS 7.5?

It should work by default on IIS 7 and higher if runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests attribute of the modules node in the system.webServer section is set to True.
