Once again I have to set up a local solution on my colleagues pc and it keeps failing. so after spending a couple of hours troubleshooting, I decided to post here.
The IIS folders are set up just as usual no real changes there.
We are able to access the frontend via http://hpcoder/Default.aspx which is the machines name but if we try to use http://hpcoder/ we get a 404 not found error and the page redirects to: http://hpcoder/Admin/Public/404.aspx?404;http://hpcoder:80/
same thing when I try to access admin http://hpcoder/Admin
What could cause this error?

Hi Sune
Sounds like you are missing Default.aspx in the default documents list: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/dc6eb1b4-9028-4308-9935-52b64edfad36.mspx?mfr=true
When this happens, it could be that asp.net is not installed correctly, or in the wrong order (.net 2.0 first, IIS as second). This might give you some permission errors later on.
So a better fix would probably be to run aspnet_regiis instead which will also fix the default document issue.
Run this from the command prompt:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis -i
