    Umbraco on IIS - 404, url rewriting problems?

    I'm having a hard time trying to configure Umbraco 4.7.1 on IIS 7 (32bit Windows 7). 

    I downloaded Umbraco 4.7.1 from the Codeplex site and extracted the file contents (using WinRar, to avoid the "unblocking" problem).

    Then I created a asp .net 4.0 website in IIS and mapped it to the folder with the fresh umbraco files. I entered the website on my browser and the umbraco wizard was displayed. I followed it until i got stuck on step 3. It won't get over the 0% status. I searched for topics on this issue without any luck.

    Using the SQL Server Management Studio I can see the client gets connected but it won't create any tables or whatsoever

    Using the browser developer tools, i can see that there are lots of client side warnings:
    GET http://localhost:8103/install/utills/p.aspx?feed=progress 404 (Not Found)

    Then I used WebMatrix to setup the site (mapping it to the same folder as the IIS site), everything went fine. Step 3 finished without errors, the database was correctly initialized. 

    Then, I got back to IIS and the site is there, the frontend works perfectly but I still have a big problem on the backend:

    I get a 404 error, for every 2nd level node I click in the navigation tree, except on the content section - where there's no 404 error, but no content data is loaded. As an example, here's what I get, when I try to edit a template:

    I checked the folder structure and the editTemplate.aspx file exists but its on /umbraco/settings/editTemplate.aspx.

    When I navigate to the settings section the URL is:
    http://localhost:8103/umbraco/#settings
    so it's seems umbraco is not using the #settings token, on its requests for some reason.

    Then I tried to go to the settings section on the webmatrix version and everything works as it should, so it's clearly an IIS configuration problem.

    I also realized that the URLs are built differently:
    IIS: http://localhost:8103/umbraco/#settings
    Webmatrix: http://localhost:55570/umbraco/umbraco.aspx#settings

    I believe it may be related with some URL Rewriting configuration. I read some people had to tweak the IIS handler mappings, but I still couldn't solve it. Can someone help me on this? I'm lost.

    Thanks

    Hi Fillipe

    Most times issues like this is caused by permissions not being set properly.

    Have you given network service and iusr full permissions on your Umbraco root folder?

    For manual installation I can recommend that you read Sebastian Janssen's post How to install Umbraco manually.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Jan

    Thanks for your input. Unfortunatelly this is not a permission related issue. To rule that out, I already gave full permissions to everyone... No luck!
    As for  Sebastian Janssen's post, that's pretty much what I've done.
    I strongly believe that this is an IIS configuration issue.
