After this installation OWA 2007 on iis 7 stopped to work or, better, if i digit my https://domain name/owa is not possible to see anything.
i tried to create the virtual directories again but nothing.

exchange 2007
this sounds like a .net issue i had.
make sure .net 2.0 64 is installed and is the default.

make sure IIS is using this version.

Did you run the "import-exchangecertificate" and "enable-exchangecertificate" cmdlets yet?

i created a new self-signed certificate on iis and modified the binding for the certificate...so i was able to connect to the https://... but still i have red x when (like a user) i log on to the OWA.
what can i do?
thanks
If you use a self-signed certificate, you're going to see that warning.

You should obtain a SSL cert from a public SSL cert provider.  Don't know if GoDaddy works where you live, but they have very reasonable rates.  You could also try certificatesforexchange.com.  Of course, if you have the budget, go for a cert from Verisign.
A UCC cert is best for Exchange - allows upto five names on the cert - godaddy do one - about £50 per year (??$)
If you go this rout then make sure it is configured correctly.
what if i install a CA on my server?
Exchange requires a mulitple support cert to work correctly.
external SMTP requires a public cert authority - not local to machine/doamin.
it will include:
domain name, mail.domain name, sending servername.domain name sending server.internal domain name if different.
You will have to jump through many hoops to get it to work with a self-signed cert.  

Not worth it.  Invest in the correct cert to save yourself and your team countless hours of frustration and headache.  
ok...i bought a Digicert UC Certificate for our company...deleted and recreated virtual directories enabled the certificate in IIS7 and exchange2007 (clients access is digicert protected) but the problem is that i see this interface showed in the attachment.
like you see the certificate works but i'm going crazy.
thanks so much for who is able to solve my problem.

You mean like this?
http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2009/06/01/owa-on-sbs-2008-incomplete-corrupt-red-x.aspx

It is a site dedicated to SBS but the Exchange Rollup applies to Exchange 2007, regardless of underlying OS.  (Perhaps when you recreated the virtual directories something got hosed?)
thanks kaffiend...i'll try to do that! yes i think exchweb folder was corrupted but what if i install sp2 for exchange 2007?

thanks shreedhar! this was the solution because i already installed it and it works...i think there was a problem with virtual directories that the sp2 solved.
