How to fix ASP.NET error “The file 'nnn.aspx' has not been pre-compiled, and cannot be requested.”?

Question

I have a VS 2005 web site that I publish using \"Publish Web Site\", and I clear all the three checkboxes. I also have a deployment project that picks up the published files

Answer 1

In case of a update and then recompile. copy all the files from bin folder again and also the particular file updated from its respective folder.

Answer 2

In my case 'nnn.aspx.xxxxxxxx.compiled' file was removed by WebDeploy, because I ran 2 simultaneous jobs in the same Jenkins workspace. The second job removed some files during WebDeploy package creation.

Answer 3

This is the solution for VS 2008.

Please tick the box as shown below to resolve the issue.

Answer 4

Just as a footnote to all of the above answers that resolved the issue via republishing to replace a missing assembly... While i have solved this issue previously with that same solution, i have just encountered another reason for it's occurrence which may assist others.

The AppPool that my site was running under had it's "Enable 32-bit applications" setting set to false. By changing this to true via the "Advanced Settings" dialog of the app pool i resolved my issue.

Hope that helps some other poor sucker.

Answer 5

This error can also occur if you have a .compiled file in bin for a page that is no longer a part of your project. You receive this in place of 404 essentially. Remove the .compiled file and then you get 404.

Answer 6

I ran into the same issue. My problem was fixed by deleting the files in the temporary asp.net files folder in this folder:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files\root
