I downloaded Umbraco binary. I could install it and run it successfully from Visual Studio 2010 with no problem (other than hardcoded '/' paths on href/src everywhere, but I don't mind it).
I then spent 2 days trying to make it work on IIS 7.5 on Windows 2008, read tutorials and forum from all over the place, with no result. It doesn't even show the installation wizard on http://mysite.com, but a blank page instead.
I'm running my sites on windows 2008 and iis 7.5 with no issues. What is the error that you get during install? Or what did you do to upload your current site to your sever?
I think by now you completely messed up the site on your server. I would suggest you install web platform installer on the server so you can use the one click install option to install Umbraco on your box. This will show you if there is an error in your configuration. once all set ok you can redeploy your site.
Thanks a lot everyone! I solved the problem by reinstalling .NET framework 4! Didn't even think that was the problem because there has been another website live on the server.
Failed to run Umbraco 4.7 on Windows 2008
I downloaded Umbraco binary. I could install it and run it successfully from Visual Studio 2010 with no problem (other than hardcoded '/' paths on href/src everywhere, but I don't mind it).
I then spent 2 days trying to make it work on IIS 7.5 on Windows 2008, read tutorials and forum from all over the place, with no result. It doesn't even show the installation wizard on http://mysite.com, but a blank page instead.
Note that http://mysite.com/test.txt works fine.
If 100,000s of people have used this CMS, surely I am just missing something stupid...?
(I posted the same question here but feel free to ignore it http://serverfault.com/questions/272904/trouble-running-umbraco-4-7-on-iis-5-1-windows-xp-and-iis-7-5-windows-2008)
Hi Hardi,
I'm running my sites on windows 2008 and iis 7.5 with no issues. What is the error that you get during install? Or what did you do to upload your current site to your sever?
Cheers,

Thanks Richard. There is no error. I just extracted the 'build' folder, and create a new website on IIS to point to that folder.
I set ApplicationPool to .NET 4.0 Integrated, and give full directory permissions for IIS_USRS, and tried hundreds of other different things.
If I upload a text file, http://mysite.com/test.txt works fine.
But http://mysite.com shows a blank page instead of the installation wizard, and http://fbsnew.matai.com.au/umbraco/umbraco.aspx gives an error.
After I added this on web.config
I got a blank page too on any aspx page
Hi Hardi,
I got that working from following the instruction from the below link.
Check the permission setting details

Thanks,

Thanks but I did follow that instruction. I have set the folder permissions, both manually and using the scripts.
Hi Hardi,
what happens if you run the installer manually (http://mysite.com/install/default.aspx)?
