I've installed an EPiServer 6 site locally and it is running fine in IIS, but when I open it as a solution in Visual Studio 2008 and run it via the built in development server, the site center dashboard page doesn't work, I get a 404 error.
I guess there is some configuration in IIS that needs to be set up in Visual Studio? Has anyone figured this out already?
I think the problem was that I used the EPiServer Deployment Centre to create a website in IIS7, which created an web.config file customised for IIS7. So when I tried to run the website from the Visual Studio development server (which behaves like IIS6), the web.config file was not compatible.
I created a new site using the Visual Studio EPiServer Project template, which created a website which worked when run through the Visual Studio development server.
