I’ve just started checking out WebMatrix, and am running into a problem. I performed a fresh install of WebMatrix, then started a tutorial which involves creating one small cshtml file. Whenever I try to run the site, I get the following error:
This type of page is not served.
Description: The type of page you have requested is not served because it has been explicitly forbidden. The extension ‘.cshtml’ may be incorrect. Please review the URL below and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /Home.cshtml
In the IIS Express Requests section, the page request shows the following error:
404.17 Dynamic Content Mapped to Static Handler
Details: The requested matched a wildcard mime map and was matched to the static filder (What’s up with all the typos MS?) handler. However, if the pre-conditions were different, the request would map to a different handler. This can mean that the pre-conditions are incorrect.
I tried reinstalling to no avail. Does anybody have any ideas?
I am running Windows 7 Pro, with IIS 7 installed. (IIS Express is supposed to be able to run side-by-side no problemo)
Thanks much!
It was set to 4.0 — Uninstalling and reinstalling ASP.NET Web Pages did the trick.
