404 Error in Admin Section (Pages)

Posted by Community Admin on 04-Dec-2010 00:00

I just did a clean install of 4.0.962.0 on a clean build of Win 2008.

Created an IIS website with it's own application pool. Home dir is D:\Sites\MySite\

Set the application pool to .NET 4

Set the pool to run as a specific user

Made sure app pool user has full control to D:\Sites\MySite

Website uses host headers for www.mysite.com and mysite.com.

Create a new project using Project Manager

Click Browse

Go to IIS

Select www.mysite.com

Provide name of cms and path of D:\Sites\MySite\cms

Status Online

Browse to new site and setup database on SQL Server with Windows Authentication

Browse to Admin site, login

Click Pages

Create New Page

Click "Create and go to add content"

I get a popup "IIS 7.0 Detailed Error - 404.6"

Help!

Thanks,

Matt

Hello Matthew,

It looks like the problem is related to the defined verbs in your IIS. Please take a look at Error message when you visit a Web site that is hosted on IIS 7.0: "HTTP Error 404.6 – VERB_DENIED"

Hi Ivan,

That definitely seems to be the issue. The strange part, however, is that my original configuration was set to:

<verbs allowUnlisted="false" applyToWebDAV="true">

<add verb="GET" allowed="true" />

<add verb="HEAD" allowed="true" />

<add verb="POST" allowed="true" />

<add verb="OPTIONS" allowed="true" />

</verbs>

and only upon changing to:

<verbs allowUnlisted="true" applyToWebDAV="true"/>

Which to me suggests that another verb rather than GET or POST is being used? Do you have any thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matthew,

WebDAVModule should not be used. It has to be removed.

<remove name="WebDAVModule" />

The same applies for the handler.

<handlers>
<remove name="WebDAV" />

Hi Ivan,

I am not using WebDAV and it IS disabled as you said. I think you're missing my question...

Now I have:

<verbs allowUnlisted="false">

<add verb="GET" allowed="true" />

<add verb="HEAD" allowed="true" />

<add verb="POST" allowed="true" />

<add verb="OPTIONS" allowed="true" />

</verbs>

and I get the error, but if I change to :

<verbs allowUnlisted="true" />

it works. This suggests to me that some other verb is being used...just trying to figure out what. I would rather specify the required verbs than to just allow everything.

Thanks,

Matt

Hello Matthew,

We require GET,HEAD, PUT, POST.

Kind regards,

Thanks Ivan!

I can confirm that by changing to:

<verbs allowUnlisted="false">

<add verb="GET" allowed="true" />

<add verb="HEAD" allowed="true" />

<add verb="POST" allowed="true" />

<add verb="OPTIONS" allowed="true" />

<add verb="PUT" allowed="true" />

</verbs>

everything works as expected!

Take care,

Matt

I found this post while trying to resolve an error in SF 6.0 with content items getting locked and not being able to unlock them. I discovered that the verb DELETE also needs to be added. This article explains how to do it through IIS if you have request filtering turned on:

www.iis.net/.../verbs

Hope that helps somebody!

The IIS error I was getting was a 404.6.
