Luckily this is a test server, but I uninstalled Sharepoint Foundation 2010 from the system since it was hogging the port 80... but, as usual not everything was removed... the Site was still listed in IIS 7. At this time I decided to just do a clean slate, removed all the roles for Application Server and IIS, and then reinstalled them... and IIS still showed the same virtual directories as before...
I was able to remove 'site2' and am now concentrating on getting the default website up and running. I am able to get to the IIS default web page, and I can get to the virtual directory home page (default.html), but all aspx pages are coming up with a 404 not found page....
What am I missing?
Thanks!
