404 on the login page?
I can launch the CTP from the Sitefinity program manager, but I can't just hit the page directly with a browser.
When I ask about special IIS settings, I mean aside from the Silverlight mime types.
Hello Connections Academy Developer,
Thank you for using our services.
When you created your website where did you create the website on? Did you create it on the standard FileSystem option or on IIS. If you have not created the website on IIS through the project manager then the website is not automatically added on IIS and will not exist on localhost/. This is so because now we ship the Project Manager with an integrated web server - eliminates the need for IIS on development environment. There should not be any special IIS settings - we have extensionless urls by default in this version of Sitefinity. The project manager will create all needed configurations for the website on localhost when you add a website to IIS through the project manager.
Make sure that you have enabled Anonymous Authentication and that you have handlers for the WCF services. You should check if you have a handler mapping for .svc and the type is System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpHandler, System.ServiceModel, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089

Thanks Ivan, I'll give your suggestions a try and comment back.
Unfortunately, we have to use IIS for development. I set that up, and http://localhost/ gives me an "under development" page. That's fine. However, http://localhost/Sitefinity still gives me a standard 404 error.
Hello Connections Academy Developer,
I think I have mentioned that the extensionless urls are by default in Sitefinity 4.0. The sf404.aspx is a Sitefinity 3.x concept and is not relevant in this version. Can you try removing the sf404.aspx mapping?
Sincerely yours,

Hi Rado,
Hi Connections Academy Developer,
I suggest that you should start from the very beginning with this installation. You could also tell us whether the problem persists if you run the project through the built-in server of our Project Manger or it exists only when you host it under IIS 6. You could also attach a screenshot of IIS Authentication and Application pool sections.
All the best,

I've had issues similar to this when using IIS6 compared to the Project Manager, that I have yet to resolve. Could this possibly be an issue with IIS6 when compared to Cassini and IIS 7?

If you follow some advice from Richard's post, you should be able to partially resolve this issue, http://www.sitefinity.com/devnet/forums/sitefinity-4-x/general-discussions/4-0-installation-quirks.aspx
