HTTP Error 404 after installation when accessing localhost/dbFront

Question

After installing dbFront we get a simple HTTP Error 404: The requested resource is not found.

This is when going to the page http://localhost/dbFront

The install completed successfully.

Answer 1

One possible reason is the website bindings.

1. Open "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager"
2. Open the "Default Web Site"
3. Open the web application "dbFront"
4. Look at the list of URLs that you can use to browse the web site.

If "localhost" is not included in the list then you need to add it to the bindings.

1. Open "Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager"
2. Right-click "Default Web Site"
3. Click on "Edit Bindings"
4. Add an entry for Type="HTTP", Hostname = "localhost", Port=80
