The World Wide Web Publishing Service service could not be..

External Since: Oct 11, 2004 Posts: 1

I have a very basic "hello world" ASP page. When i want to see this
page helloworld.asp in my browser (http://localhost/helloworld.asp) it
hangs and after hitting enter for 3 times (in the url/location field
of the browser) the page is displayed. But after this, when i try to
restart the www publishing service i get the error message "The World
Wide Web Publishing Service service could not be stopped". I run
windows 2000 server on my local system... has anyone ever encountered
similar problems?

helloworld.asp:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Example 1</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY bgcolor=Lime aLink=DarkTurquoise>

<P> </P>

<% Response.Write("Hello, world!") %>

</BODY>

</HTML>

Errormessage after attempt to restart www publishing service:
The World Wide Web Publishing Service service is stopping.............
The World Wide Web Publishing Service service could not be stopped.Marcel

Do you have any other services on your box that use IIS? Do you have any
ISAPI fitlers loaded (3rd party)?

What happens if you just start the server and before you access IIS, you
just stop the services? Are you running any cold fusion services?

Let's start there..

Thank you,
