I successfully installed Easy Projects, but a "404 - Page Not Found" error was displayed when I tried to open the Easy Projects web-site in my browser. I run it on Windows 2003 Server.

First of all, please make sure that you specified URL correctly.

If the URL is correct, check if ASP.NET is installed and enabled in windows 2003/IIS6 - for IIS7 see below the graphic. By default Windows 2003 Server does not install ASP.NET support even if .NET Framework is installed.

To enable ASP.NET go to: Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services.
Select "Web Service Extensions", choose "ASP.NET v4.0.30319" and click "Allow".




For IIS7 / Windows 2008, the following info will ensure .NET maps to IIS:

You will need to enable the ASP.NET Role Service in IIS7 to be able to run your ASP.Net application on it, and this is how you do it:

  1. Open Control Panel
  2. Programs and Features
  3. Turn Windows Features on or off
  4. Roles - Web Server (IIS) - Role Services - Add Role Services
  5. Application Development 
  6. ASP.NET <-- check mark here
