Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place: I'm a bit of a newbie.
I have an umbraco 6.0.0 site, created by another developer, that I need to move to new hosting. (IIS 7.5, .net 4)
I copied the directory structure, restored the database, configured the website in IIS etc.
Initially, the site was visible (front and backend), but there was an issue with URLS: instead of friendly urls, I was being redirected to the page with extension - for example, entering http://mysite/ in the address bar took me to http://mysite/default.aspx, http://mysite/about/ gave me a redirect loop, but manually entering http://mysite/about.aspx took me to the intended page.
Thinking it must be an IIS/Windows issue, I ran my Application Pool as a different identity, and gave this identity full control of all folders in my site (via Windows Explorer). Now my homepage is completely blank (no markup at all), and all my other pages cause a page-not-found redirect loop.
Any assistance on this would be appreciated.
I've tried republishing the site/individual pages in backend. I've tried Managed and Classic Pool in IIS, restarting IIS,changing pool identity.
What does the umbracoStatus key (If I remember correctly from the top of my head) in the web.config say? Is it also saying 6.0.0?
Btw, once we figure out how to solve this issue I'll recommend that you upgrade to 6.0.5 ASAP since there unfortunately was some security issues, which has now been fixed in the mentioned version.
Blank homepage, redirect loop on other pages

Hi Jan,
Thank you very much for your reply.
There was no umbracoStatus key . I added the key with value 6.0.0, and restarted the website
This made no difference to the issue: still blank homepage, and redirect loops on all other pages
is working on a reply...
