    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 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 !

    I'm getting this error and I am using IIS on Windows 2000 Server.

     "Failed to map the path '/MyDirectory/' "

     Then I am unable to start the project in Debug.
