SYMPTOMS
If you deploy a Web application on a server running Windows .NET Web Server, and you confirm that the virtual Web and the supporting files are installed on the server, and then you try to run the application, you may receive the following error message:

The page cannot be found. The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

CAUSE
Because of security changes in the Internet Information Services (IIS) configuration on Windows .NET Web Server, ASP.NET is not enabled by default.

RESOLUTION
To enable ASP.NET, run the Windows .NET Server Security Lockdown Wizard. To run the wizard, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the Start menu, click All Programs.
 * 2) Point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services.

NOTE: By default, the IIS Security Lockdown Wizard should open. If if the wizard does not open, right-click your computer name in left pane and then click Security.
 * 1) On the first screen of the IIS Security Lockdown Wizard, click Next.
 * 2) Verify that HTTP is set to Automatic, and then click Next.
 * 3) In the Request Handlers list, click to select ASP.NET.
 * 4) Click Next.
 * 5) Click Finish to complete the wizard.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
