Should work just fine. It would be better if you had included the problems you're facing here...

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I'm glad to hear it's compatible and I've not been completely wasting my time. Below are some of details of the issues I'm running in to.

Ok, first I set up the site as a virtual directory under Default Web Site which I converted to an Application as per instructions here: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/installation/install-umbraco-manually

I'm running it under a new App Pool using .NET v2.0 and Network Service identity. 

If I attempt to use integrated pipeline I got the following error sayiong my config is not compatible. After I run the recommended command to migrate the config (cmd: %SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd migrate config "Default Web Site/") I get that old favourite "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at umbraco.UmbracoDefault.Page_PreInit(Object sender, EventArgs e)
   at System.Web.Util.CalliHelper.EventArgFunctionCaller(IntPtr fp, Object o, Object t, EventArgs e)
   at System.Web.Util.CalliEventHandlerDelegateProxy.Callback(Object sender, EventArgs e)
   at System.Web.UI.Page.OnPreInit(EventArgs e)
   at System.Web.UI.Page.PerformPreInit()
   at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)

If I configure the app pool for Classic pipeline I'm getting redirected to: http://localhost/install/default.aspx?redir=true&url=/umbracodev/default.aspx where 'UmbracoDev' is the name of the web app.

As mentioned above, ideally I'd like to get the site using integrated pipeline because that mirrors production, but any help to get it running would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Mat

Why don't you just create a new webapplication in IIS with it's own application pool (Integrated pipeline)? I have been running umbraco 4.0.X fine with this config.

I believe that's what I have done: I created a new Web Application under the Default Web Site with it's own 'new' application pool configured using v2.0 .NET and Network Service Identity. I've tried configuring it to use both Intergrated and Classic pipeline with the results details above.

Where am I going wrong?

Thanks again for your assistance.

Well I've never created an application under the Default Web Site. Try creating the application at the root of IIS?

Will do. I'll let you know how I get on

Ok, for anyone who may be interested, as unlikely as that may be, here's what worked.

I followed the instructions at the following address, creating a website (not virtual directory) and adding a host name to the hosts file. http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/installation/install-umbraco-manually

Configuring the newly created app pool to use the integrated pipeline generated an error saying my config is not compatible with integrated pipeline. After I ran the recommended command to migrate the config (cmd: %SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd migrate config "MyUmbracoWebsiteName/")  the site launched ok.

Thanks for your assistance.
