I inherited a .NET web app within a company and I have had to migrate the app to another server running Windows 2019 server and IIS.

I have checked all settings are exactly the same as the app on old server (windows 2012 r2) and we have the DNS mapped. I have migrated the SQL Server Database to the new server too and changed the connection string in IIS at site level. I also setup an entry in "hosts" file on server and app opens on the server okay. I ensured the default documents match the app in IIS on old server too. However, on a remote machine it continually states

"HTTP Error 404. The requested resource is not found"

Usually 404 errors are 404.1 or 404.2 but this is simply 404

I wanted to setup Advanced Logging but apparently this facility is no longer available in Windows 2019 Server. I downloaded DebugDiag and set up a Crash rule for the application pool but it doesn't even create a file

I followed this guide to setup Failed Request Tracing but it does not create a file either - IIS 7 Failed Request Tracing - YouTube[^]

Can someone please give me some guidance on how to resolve this

What I have tried:

Following this guide to setup Failed Request Tracing

IIS 7 Failed Request Tracing - YouTube[^]

Setup a crash rule in DebugDiag but no file is created

Checked all settings comparing site on old server

Since it works when you access the site directly on the server, it sounds like a problem with the connection to the server, rather than the server or code itself.

Have you checked the Windows Firewall settings?

Thanks Richard - I discovered one problem and resolved it and it was a permissions issue. However, I am still getting the 404 error but now it is passed the first permissions issue the Failed Request Tracing has created files and what it is failing on is - url="http://the webappname_test.co.uk:80/Scripts/modernizr-custom.js". In Scripts folder there is a JS framework file modernizr-2.6.2 and in the Modernizr site this was released in 2013. I suspect modernizr-2.6.2 is not compatible with windows server 2019. However, I cannot seem to find a straight download of latest version!!!

Modernizr is a Javascript file; the server you host it on isn't the issue. The problem is that your page is requesting modernizr-custom.js, which doesn't exist, rather than moderniz-2.6.2.js, which does exist.

If you want a newer version, you can download the files from the Modernizr site - the latest version is 3.5.0 from 2017:
Modernizr: the feature detection library for HTML5/CSS3[^]
