Hello All,

I am trying to configure IIS for Windows 7 OS. I can do it in Control Panel.

But when i test by typing "http://localhost/" in the browser, I get the below error.

Server Error in Application "Default Web Site"
HTTP Error 404.4 - Not Found
Description: The resource you are looking for does not have a handler associated with it.
Error Code: 0x80070002
Notification: MapRequestHandler
Module: IIS Web Core
Requested URL: http://localhost:80/
Physical Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot
Logon User: Anonymous
Logon Method: Anonymous
Handler: Not yet determined
Most likely causes:
The file extension for the requested URL does not have a handler configured to process the request on the Web server.

What you can try:
If the file extension does not have a handler associated with it, add a handler mapping for the extension.
Verify that the handler associated with the file extension is properly installed and configured.
Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here

I have also searched google but in vain.

The OS is 64 bit and is Windows 7 Basic and has come pre-installed with my Dell laptop.

Many Thanks in Advance.

Test the installation/config. Go to C:\inetpub\wwwroot and create a text file, saved as hello.txt. Open the file, then type in "hello world" and save it.

Open your web browser and type in http://localhost/hello.txt[^] to see if you see the message.

Deploy your site/pages/etc to the path and you should be good to go. Just having IIS setup doesn't mean there's content there. What is your default document?

Cheers.
