Installing on Softsys hosting - getting 404 when using umbracoUseDirectoryUrls
I'm trying to install a new umbraco project on a Softsys shared hosting server. I update the web.config file so that umbracoUseDirectoryUrls is equal to true. Everything seemed fine until i created and tested pages/nodes other than the homepage.
It keeps returning a 404 error message and I can't firgure out why.
I have no problems logging in via the default umbraco login url (domain.com/umbraco) and I can make the normal updates inside the CMS without any issues.
Figured it out. After reading about Pauls experience with installing on Softsys - discovered that I needed to update the server not to "NET 4.0" but to "NET 4.0 (Integrated Pipeline)" instead.
So if anyone else experiences this - from the Softsys Website Panel, follow the following steps
Choose "Web Sites"
Choose the website from the list of current websites that have been created

in the web.config i've set the following:
I've also added the following rewrite rule to the UrlRewriting.config and that doesn't work either:
All of this works fine on my localhost.
Is there anything else i need to do on my server at Softsys to get both of these working?
are you able to log on to the backend of Umbraco? Are you using Umbraco 4.5?
I have no problems logging in via the default umbraco login url (domain.com/umbraco) and I can make the normal updates inside the CMS without any issues.
I am using Umbraco 4.5.2
