Hi all,

I just got a new laptop, Windows XP Pro SP2. I installed IIS 5.1 using
add/remove Windows Components.
I installed Visual Studio 6 SP6 and Visual Studio .Net (I need both of
them).
Exact same setup was working fine on my old laptop.

On the new laptop:
IIS will serve .aspx and .html pages no problem.
When I try a classic .asp page, I get -2147467259 (0x80004005) as my
only response, and Error 500 in the IIS log. No events in the event
log, no other information anywhere that I can find.
I gave IUSR_computername full permissions to the wwwroot directory: no
luck.
I tried copying the entire inetsrv directory from my old laptop to the
new one (including asp.dll), but IIS goes completely haywire, so I had
to restore the original directory.

Any ideas on how to tackle this? If at least I could find a bit more
information about the actual error somewhere!

Regards,
Assaf

Hi Anton,

Not sure what you mean by enabling ASP pages in IIS 5.1. In the past
they were always enabled by default after installing.
Anyway, when I go to IIS manager -> Default Web Site Properties -> Home
Directory -> Configuration... -> Mappings, I see the .asp extension
mapped to c:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll, which I assume means ASP
is enabled?

I'm using .Net framework v1.1.4322.2032.
Though I'm not sure why .Net should enter the picture. When you install
the .Net framework, it shouldn't affect the DLLs in charge of serving
classic ASP pages (inetsrv/asp.dll, etc.), should it?

Regards,
Assaf

Hi Mike,

Amazing, that did the trick! Who would have thought it?
Thank you - I definitely owe you a pint for that one.

So it's true then... you really have forgotten more than most of us
will ever know!

Hi,

Try following steps:

1. Start / Run, type cmd

2. Type cd \wwwroot\adminscripts

3. Run the following command:

Adsutil set /w3svc/Appisolated 0

4. Run iisreset to restart IIS server

5. Try browsing ASP page

If this does not help please provide some information:

-Did you enable ASP pages in IIS 5.1?

-Which version of .NET Framework are you using?

Regards,

Anton Pegan

Hi,

Sorry, I miss-phrased the question about enabling ASP pages. Your answer is
what I needed. Also when installing .NET Framework it installs and registers
important .DLL files that also effect asp pages, filters, etc. Can you
register asp.dll? To do that, follow these steps:

1. Start / Run, type cmd
2. Type cd Windows\system32\inetsrv
3. Type regsvr32 asp.dll
4. Type iisreset
Did you try the steps that I mentioned in the previous post? That should do
the trick.

Regards,

Anton Pegan

I've never had to do this. What is the root problem that would make
someone have to do this?
