Installation fails with 404

i tried installing an instance of nopcommerce - most recent - on windows server 2022, iis10, sqlserver 2022. after following the instructions here - https://docs.nopcommerce.com/en/installation-and-upgrading/installing-nopcommerce/installing-on-windows.html, the website returned 404. there is nothing in the event logs, as expected.

how do i install it?

sadly, i misspelled an iis binding.
but i did discover the following requirements which are not indicated in the instructions.

the following folders require modify permission for the identity running nopcommerce web.

App_Data'. Please configure these permissions.
logs'. Please configure these permissions.
Plugins'. Please configure these permissions.
Plugins\Uploaded'. Please configure these permissions.
\.well-known'. Please configure these permissions.
\bundles'. Please configure these permissions.
db_backups'. Please configure these permissions.
\files'. Please configure these permissions.
wwwroot\files\exportimport'. Please configure these permissions.
\wwwroot\icons'. Please configure these permissions.
\wwwroot\images'. Please configure these permissions.
\wwwroot\images\thumbs'. Please configure these permissions.
\wwwroot\images\uploaded'. Please configure these permissions.
\wwwroot\sitemaps'. Please configure these permissions.

Correct, you would need to give appropriate permission to these folders. And is your issue is resolved after fixing binding in IIS?

problem was resolved.
and the installation i mentioned should have noted the permissions required on the folders.

(Although it's odd that some of your paths are missing the \wwwroot prefix - e.g., \bundles, \.well-known.  Is that just a copy/paste "typo"?)

that is good news. i didn't see that url - i only found the one i posted in my original link.

i was only interested in noting the folders rather than the paths or anything more than necessary to identify folders in question. however, the install process provides the full paths if they fail proper permissions configuration - which was very helpful.

ps - i see that your link is for local installation. i clicked the link relevant for my installation which was windows server.
