Question

User1167734619 posted

Built and debugged OK my ASP.NET web app on Visual Studio 2017 Pro.
Published it to my IIS on Windows Server 2016 on my AWS EC2 VM.

But when I browse from IIS > Sites > my site > Manage > Browser … I get "error 404 - file or directory not found" 

project start file is Default.aspx and that's what is set in IIS > my site > defaults

I set projects security permissions to "Everyone" full access.

Hi [e-mail],

As far as I know,  the 404 error means the page not found.

I suggest you could firstly check the IIS's site folder to make sure you have publish the projecto the VM.

Besides, I suggest you could post the details information about how you publish the application to VM.

Best Regards,
