So the code migration was fairly straightforward. There’s enough documentation and learned lessons available to get you through that relatively pain-free. Also, striving to keep the code base as straightforward as possible helps tremendously. The deploy was not *as* obvious.
Dev boxes and staging environments deployed without fuss, but as it will be, the LIVE production box will always have something different about it 🙂
If you’re suddenly getting “404 Not Found” errors, check that v2 has actually been allowed to run. Verify with the “Web Service Extensions” section in managing IIS6.
These two urls were particularly useful:
“HTTP Error 404 – File or Directory not found” error message when you request dynamic content with IIS 6.0
IIS 6.0: ASP.NET Is Not Automatically Installed on Windows Server 2003
as part of a response to the question:
ASP.NET doesn’t work Error Code 404 2 1260
hopefully this saves you 30minutes somewhere 🙂
