After moving eKtron Site from iis6 to iis7 site is running but some of the links do not work and

Background

I moved this site from IIS6 WIN2K3 to WIN2K8R2 IIS7 and the site launches but I'm getting errors on lots of the links/main menu items.

Things I have already checked

  • application pool settings
  • db connection strings
  • Creds/permissions in place
  • installed the correct version of Ektron

Could this be a web.config Issue? I tried to look at the differences between IIS6 and IIS7, but didn't see anything obvious. Any help or clue will be appreciated!

In short: how was the site migrated?

The files copied? Sites sometimes consist of settings outside web.config (for eg, Applications and Virtual Directories), which aren't physically on the disk.

(You can use a tool like the Web Deployment Tool to migrate a site and all settings)

The second message is telling you what's wrong.

Does the physical path exist, or was it previously a virtual directory?

Finally figured out the cause it was all to do with compatibility between IIS 6 web config file and IIS 7 web config files. I had to comment out few things and it worked
