Error creating new ASP.NET application

Hi,

I am getting the following error message when I attempt to create a
new ASP.NET (C#) web application:

The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create
or open the Web projects located at the following URL:
'http://localhost/WebApplication1 '. 'HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server
Error'.

I can open existing ASP.NET projects and launch/debug them without any
problem. I can also browse them directly i.e. without going through
VS.NET.

So far I have tried changing the permissions of IIS, modifying the VS
Developers group permissions, adding the ASPNET login to the VS
Developers group and I have also tried running "aspnet_reg iis -i".

Can anyone please help me to resolve this problem without having to
re-build
the machine?

My configuration is as follows:

Windows 2000 SP4
Visual Studio 2003 v7.1.3088
..NET Framework 1.1.4322.573

Thanks in advance,

Hi Shane,

Here's a solution that someone posted previously. Could you let us know if
you try it and if it works for you?

Resolution:

1) Delete the ASPNET account using Computer Management.

2) Recreate the ASPNET account by running: aspnet_regiis -I, from

C:\<winDir>\mic rosoft.net\fram ework\v1.1.4322 directory :

Click Start, and then click Run.

In the Open text box, type cmd, and then press ENTER.

At the command prompt, type the following, and then press ENTER:

"%windir%\Micro soft.NET\Framew ork\version\asp net_regiis.exe" -i

In this path, version represents the version number of the .NET Framework
that you installed on your server.

You must replace this placeholder with the actual version number when you
type the command. If you use Visual Studio 2003 and framework 1.1 it it
v1.1.4322

3) Restart IIS.

4) Now the ASPX pages should work fine and you also should be able to create
new ASP.NET web projects.

Ken,

I've identified the issue by comparing the IIS configuration of my
machine with another developer's workstation.

In the Properties secion of the 'Default Web Site' in the 'Home
Directory' tab the 'Application Name' settings was blanked out. All I
had to do was to click the 'Create' button and things returned to
normal.

I've no idea how this happened as I had not chaned my IIS config in
some months. However, I'm just glad to have it working.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Shane.

Thanks for reporting back!

I'm sure your solution will help someone else.

I'll add it to my "weird stuff that can happen" file.

Create a directory "MySiteName" and a subdirectory "Site". 2. Share the "Site" subdirectory is "MySiteNameSite$", and give the local administrators group full access to the share. (The login I run under is a member of that group.)
