after using ½ a day to figure out what was wrong i gave up, and did the easy thing, i just created a new episerver 7 solution and copied all code to that and now it works.
Could it be that when running under IIS you run it as a virtual appliation (compared to a site), and that the aspx file cant be resolved in that case?
What I am suspecting is that the application fails to locate the physical aspx file in one of the cases. Are you using TemplateDescriptor attribute on your aspx file? if so make sure Path property is application relative (that is start with ~/).
You could try to setup log4net logging for EPiServer.Web.TemplatePathResolver.
Sorry, now when I read your post again I see that you are using MVC. The Path property and TemplatePathResolver only applies for WebForms.
Hi
i have a Episerver 7 (patch 3) MVC 4 site running. through debug in Visual Studio i have created a page using StandardTestPage model and StandardPageController and i called it page1.
when i debug it through Visual Studio the page opens up fine: http://localhost:37009/page1/ and the log file writes:
DEBUG 2013-06-07 07:23:02 EPiServer.Web.TemplateResolver: StandardTestPage: Selected Pdk.Website.Controllers.StandardController. (tag='', channel='', category='Page')
when i try to open the same page when hosted in my local IIS version 7.5 i get an error
DEBUG 2013-06-07 07:25:31 EPiServer.Web.TemplateResolver: StandardTestPage: Selected . (tag='', channel='', category='Page')
ERROR 2013-06-07 07:25:31 EPiServer.Global: 1.2.5 Unhandled exception in ASP.NET

i also cannot preview the page when hosted in IIS, i can edit it though.
i guess the problem is in the line:
DEBUG 2013-06-07 07:25:31 EPiServer.Web.TemplateResolver: StandardTestPage: Selected . (tag='', channel='', category='Page')
"Selected ." seems wrong. What is happening here?
