Additionally if I try to access a page that contains the HTML helper method Html.RenderEPiServerQuickNavigator() I receive the error
DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\dev\Trunk\src\EpiSite\epiui\Shell\ClientResources\packages.config'.
Which is ridiculous, because it should be looking for this resource in the VPP. The location it's using as the root (c:\dev\Trunk\src\EpiSite) is of course the SOURCE CODE folder, while \epiui\Shell\ClientResources\packages.config should clearly be located in the VPP folder.
Do you have EPiServer 7 installed on that machine where you are trying to run a new site copy?
Check that application pool has required access rights for site root folder (including all subitems) and VPP folder (including subitems) (I guess it should be like read/write/modify).
I am trying to get an existing EPiServer 7 site (in development) working on another machine. To migrate to this new dev machine I have taken the following steps:
When I try to run the application I can load the site fine, but resources such as images that are stored in the VPP throw 404 errors.
If I try to access the EPiServer UI (let's say my site is at http://episite/ and the EPiServer UI is at /epiui/) I get the login page as expected. I log in using my Windows credentials (we are using Windows auth) and it appears to log in successfully. The problem is that when it redirects back to http://episite/epiui I receive the error:
HttpException : The controller for path '/epiui' was not found or does not implement IController.
To be absolutely clear, this machine is running:
as the other dev machines. Does anyone know why this is happening? This has happened on multiple new machines.
