Alternatively:

I had upgraded the server from 32-bit Windows to 64-bit Windows.

Needed to check 'allow 32-bit applications' on the app pools.

@mahesh Umbraco 4.0.3 only requires .NET 3.5 (read: .NET 2.0 with AJAX libraries, which are included in the distribution).

@Anz, best things to check for are:

  1. Have you added the wildcard ISAPI handler to the site for Classic mode? For extensionless URLs to work, you must add a wildcard handler to the site, which then points to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll. This applies to IIS6 and IIS7 sites in Classic mode (IIS6 only has classic mode).
  2. In Integrated mode, however, this isn't required... so you could try switching your application pool to Integrated mode and see if this works.
  3. Check your application pool's identity. Sometimes the site won't load components properly because the identity of the application pool can't access them. In IIS7, you have a new principle called ApplicationPoolIdentity, which creates a new user just for that app-pool, in the format "IIS APPPOOL\". If your app-pool has it's Identity property set to ApplicationPoolIdentity, you need to grant read/write/modify access on it by going to the folder, right-clicking and hitting Properties, switching to Security, click "Edit", click "Add...", type "IIS APPPOOL\" (without quotes, with all spaces), click OK. Set the "Modify" attribute against this user, click Apply, click Close.

HTH,

Benjamin
