Map and App Gallery Checklist

Question

I have followed the steps to convert my Maps and Apps Gallery to an application in IIS Manager but when I run the gallery checklist I am getting the message: "Check that site has been converted to an application." 
I right click on the application folder in IIS, convert to application, and choose ASP.NET v4.0 for the application pool.(as it states in the instructions) I'm not sure what the issue is. 
I am using ArcGIS 10.2, IIS 7

Thanks,
Sam

Thanks for your reply.

Since this issue occurred, I've been able to get my application running. I still get the error when the the checklist is run but the application seems to be working fine.

Sam,

What you're seeing could be a symptom of IIS installed or updated after ASP.NET, so one just has to re-link the two, or it could be a red-herring message because the actual problem couldn't be caught by the checklist in the right place.

A good check for the former is to put a simple ASP.NET program into the Gallery site's folder and see if it runs. For example, http://localgovtemplates2.esri.com/support/appcheck2.ashx reportsAppCheck's application pool uses .Net version v2.0.50727

for our test site http://localgovtemplates2.esri.com/support/. The version number isn't important; what we want to see is the message to show that the server can compile an ASP.NET program. This test program is available from http://localgovtemplates2.esri.com/support/appcheck2.zip

To re-link IIS & ASP.NET, one follows the instructions from Microsoft in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/k6h9cz8h(v=vs.100).aspx; you'd probably use aspnet_regiis -iru

to not modify other sites on your server.

If ASP.NET can compile the test program, then I'd explore the possibility of a red herring, and we can help you with that.
