Virtual paths not working

I've just installed a local copy of EPiServer 6 r2 and the Alloy Tech sample site.  Everything except the virtual paths are working.  The paths are in the EPiServer.config file and seem correct but are clearly not working.  The urls seem to map to the site root regardless.  Anyone know how I can fix it?

Can you post the part of your config where the VPP paths are defined?

They should look like this: http://world.episerver.com/Documentation/Items/Tech-Notes/EPiServer-CMS-6/EPiServer-CMS-60/Virtual-Path-Providers/

Here is the code extract from the episerver.config file.  I have checked and all the locations do exist.  If I access the admin page, the debugging console shows 404 errors for the various scripts.  If I try and access one of the scripts directly through firefox, it shows a full 404 page and shows that it's trying to find the files from the root folder each time.

Your VPPs from episerver.config need a corresponding section in web.config, like this (IIS7 format, see my link above for IIS6 format if needed):

<location path="Documents">
  <staticFile expirationTime="-1.0:0:0"/>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <add name="wildcard" path="*" verb="*" type="EPiServer.Web.StaticFileHandler, EPiServer"/>
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
</location>

Just try substituting your <system.web> nodes with <system.webServer> (inside the <location> nodes) and see if that solves it

In IIS7+ it's changed to <handlers>. Take a look at my TechNote link above, it's all there :-)

Fundamentally, the new paths were missing. (Admin/UI/CMS and Admin/UI/Shell) and tada!  Thanks for your help Arild!  There are still minor bugs but with the paths working, it should be a case of working through them

Better add that you'll need to add 

controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID"

    to the pages section in the main section to ensure that the treeview works properly in the Admin section
