Re: FN-FORUM IIS runs but asp not working

date posted 5th January 2002 01:06

So IIS5 on Win2k. You did check that you had created an application for the
web site, didn't you?

The Win2k event viewer is the first place to look, just use start, run,
eventvwr and look for anything with a red or yellow sign in system and
application logs. Check especially for anything mentioning COM+ or MS DTC

Then look at IIS logs, the default location is something like
%systemroot%system32inetsrv but you can check in the MMC.

Did you do anything in the way of configuration to IIS apart from just
sticking web pages on it. If so, what? If there is any possibility of an
error in global.asa just rename it to something else and try again as a
test. You don't need it for anything basic. AV software scanning global.asa
can cause 500 errors.

Are you running any form of proxy, NAT or ICS-type thing or a personal
firewall (hardware doesn't count)

If there is ANY possibility that the asp page has an error in it (a typo or
anything), go to support.microsoft.com and search for Q261200.

Check also Q255650, which sounds like a fair possibility.

Disable any AV software. Of course you could just be unlucky and the
metabase could be stuffed.

BTW Is this a DC or a member server or what?

Can't think of anything else.
