Exception: System.InvalidOperationException
Message: Failed to map the path '/xx/Pages/CustomException.aspx'.

Server.Transfer("/xx/Pages/CustomException.aspx");

This exception occured after migrating a web application from ASP.NET to ASP.NET 2 (the two frameworks are installed on me computer). Forums and blogs on the Internet explained that it is due to a bad configuration of IIS or bad windows folder authorisations for the user ASPNET. But none of theses solutions work for me.

Any ideas ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Clement,

Can you verify that you are running this application using IIS? I'm wondering if you might instead be using the built-in web-server in VS -- which might cause this to fail.

Thanks,

Scott

I'm running this application using IIS 5.1.

I did a mistake : I'm running the application on the build-in VS web server and not on IIS. The error doesn't occured anymore with IIS.

Thanks a lot for your help !
