I have migrated some aspx pages onto a new box, but when I request them using the folllowing I get a 404:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://" rel="ugc nofollow">http://</a>&lt;serverIP&gt;/&lt;websiteroot&gt;/&lt;<wbr />asppage&gt;<br />
<br />
I can request the pages like this on the old box so not sure why this would fail on the new one..? I'm wondering if it could be compatibility with IIS6 (as was on IIS5 previously), but how would I test this.

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
