Just try to install umbraco on our web server, having heard a lot of good things about it.

TOTAL failure. After setting it up on our longhorn (Windows 2008) based web server, things just dont work. Seems Umbraco is unable to run on a current version of ASP.NET (i.e. 3.5) without lots of work, which - as potential user - I simply do not want to do (i.e. I think recompiling JUST to get it in is a no no).

Why this? Are there really hosts out there too lazy to support asp.net 3.5 by now?

What are the exact steps to get it working in a way that is compatible with Longhorn / Windows Server 2008 / ASP.NET 3.5? Please do not say "install an outdated version of some library".

Hi I work with umbraco under Vista.

To use it under IIS 7 you must add some lines into web.config
and set application to use older application model

webconfig lines

Code:

<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.1.0.0" newVersion="3.5.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions.Design" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.1.0.0" newVersion="3.5.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>

Hope this help

Are you sure the second assembly binding is needed? In the examples that I've seen on the net only the first (System.Web.Extensions) is redirected, here for example?

Of course it works :-)
If it don't work for you, try look at application pool settings, it must be set to Classic .NET AppPool.

How did you guys install/enable AJAX on Server 2008/IIS7?

I have changed the website application pool to Classic .NET AppPool, I have pasted the <runtime> into my web.config, should it be a specific place?, I have installed the msi, but I stille get the error:
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Source Error:

Line 93: <assemblies>
Line 94: 
Line 95: <add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

Which I see as something wrong with the AJAX.
But the <runtime> code as done somting, cause before I put that in the web.config i just got a 500 Internal error.

Make sure that the System. Ajax file (should be 2 of them I think) is in the bin directory. I haven't had the chance to run it on 3.5 - Im running Longhorn with IIS7 right now but I defaulted it to 2.0. And had no issues. But later on this weekend Im going to try the 4.0 with the 3.5 and will let you know my results.
