ASP.NET Configuration Error under Windows Server 2003 R2

[deathtospam]

My employer is starting to take the first steps towards migrating its
Classic ASP codebase to ASP.NET v2.0. We have a copy of our existing
website on the new Windows Server 2003 R2 test server, and everything
is running fine. However, when I create a simple "HelloWorld.asp x"
file, then browse to the page from VS.NET 2005 on the same machine, I
get the following error message:

=============== =============== =============== ===
Server Error in '/' Application.
-----------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current
custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the
application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It
could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server
machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be
viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrorsta g within
a "web.config " configuration file located in the root directory of the
current web application. This <customErrorsta g should then have its
"mode" attribute set to "Off".
=============== =============== =============== ===
I've searched high and low on Google Groups, and all I can find are
posts that allude to some kind of permissions problem. However, I have
no idea where -- or how -- to start searching for these potential
permissions problems... or if that's even the problem. Any help that
folks could offer or suggest would be greatly appreciated... thanks in
advance!

Did you upgrade the .Net Framework version on R2 to the Release version ?

The .Net Framework's Release version number is 2.0.50727.42
R2's version number is 2.0.50727.210

Make sure you have the Release version running.

Where should I be checking to see if I'm running the release version of
..NET v2.0? If I'm supposed to be looking in the "ASP.NET version"
field inside IIS6's "ASP.NET" tab, it says "1.1.4322". However, the
"File location" field is pointing to the web.config file in the
"v2.0.50727 " directory...

I believe so. At the bottom of the ASPX page (and below the error
messages), I see the following text:

Yes, I thought so.

It's a common problem with R2, which I think shouldn't have
been released with a beta version of tyhe .Net Framework.

Only a few more builds and R2 could have gone out with the release version.

You need to download, at least, the release version of the redistributable .

If you've got enough bandwidth, go for the SDK. The developer samples are worth it.

We don't have enough daytime bandwidth, and that link you posted said
the SDK comes with VS.NET 2005 (which is already installed on the
server), so I downloaded the normal .NET v2.0 EXE instead.

However, the problem still occurred after I installed (repaired) .NET
v2.0 and rebooted. What's the specific sequence of events I need to
follow to upgrade from the R2 beta version to the release version of
..NET v2.0? Also, how will I know if the upgrade was successful? Sorry
to bother you with all the minutiae... I certainly do appreciate your
help.

re:

Run aspnet_regiis -lv from the .Net framework 2.0's directory
( Drive:\WINDOWS\ Microsoft.NET\F ramework\v2.0.5 0727 )

That will list all the installed versions.

If version 2.0.50727.210 is still registered, either run the uninstall tool found here :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/su...l/default.aspx

....or uninstall manually and then reinstall the release version.
The instructions for a manual uninstall are there, too.

All fixed! Before you wrote back, I uninstalled the .NET Framework
2.0, rebooted, then reinstalled the final version of the .NET Framework
2.0 (2.0.50727). After that, I ran the utility you suggested
("C:\WINDOWS\Mi crosoft.NET\Fra mework\v2.0.507 27\aspnet_regii s.exe -lv")
and discovered that all of my applications were still mapped to the
v1.1.4322.2300 of the .NET Framework. Running the following script
recursively set the default version to v2.0.50727:

=============== =============== =====
C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work\v2.0.50727 \aspnet_regiis. exe -lv
=============== =============== =====

I've been working with Classic ASP for eight years -- long enough to
have read more than a few of your articles and books -- so I recognized
your name right away when you replied. I certainly appreciate you
taking the time to help me out... it's amazing how basic issues like
this are still relatively difficult to find cohesive information on,
in- or outside of repositories like MSDN or Usenet.

I'm gonna add another reply to my top-level post, detailing everything
just in case people happen across the article, and need a play-by-play.

My pleasure, Tek Boy, although if you've been working as a programmer
for 8 years maybe you should consider changing your name to "Tek Man".

We don't have enough daytime bandwidth, and that link you posted said
the SDK comes with VS.NET 2005 (which is already installed on the
server), so I downloaded the normal .NET v2.0 EXE instead.

However, the problem still occurred after I installed (repaired) .NET
v2.0 and rebooted. What's the specific sequence of events I need to
follow to upgrade from the R2 beta version to the release version of
.NET v2.0? Also, how will I know if the upgrade was successful? Sorry
to bother you with all the minutiae... I certainly do appreciate your
help.

It's a common problem with R2, which I think shouldn't have
been released with a beta version of tyhe .Net Framework.

Only a few more builds and R2 could have gone out with the release version.

You need to download, at least, the release version of the redistributable .

If you've got enough bandwidth, go for the SDK. The developer samples are worth it.

I believe so. At the bottom of the ASPX page (and below the error
messages), I see the following text:

=============== =============== =============== ===
"Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.507 27.42;
ASP.NET Version:2.0.507 27.210"

My employer is starting to take the first steps towards migrating its
Classic ASP codebase to ASP.NET v2.0. We have a copy of our existing
website on the new Windows Server 2003 R2 test server, and everything
is running fine. However, when I create a simple "HelloWorld.asp x"
file, then browse to the page from VS.NET 2005 on the same machine, I
get the following error message:

=============== =============== =============== ===
Server Error in '/' Application.
-----------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current
custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the
application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It
could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server
machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be
viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrorsta g within
a "web.config " configuration file located in the root directory of the
current web application. This <customErrorsta g should then have its
"mode" attribute set to "Off".

I've searched high and low on Google Groups, and all I can find are
posts that allude to some kind of permissions problem. However, I have
no idea where -- or how -- to start searching for these potential
permissions problems... or if that's even the problem. Any help that
folks could offer or suggest would be greatly appreciated... thanks in
advance!

All fixed! Before you wrote back, I uninstalled the .NET Framework
2.0, rebooted, then reinstalled the final version of the .NET Framework
2.0 (2.0.50727). After that, I ran the utility you suggested
("C:\WINDOWS\Mi crosoft.NET\Fra mework\v2.0.507 27\aspnet_regii s.exe -lv")
and discovered that all of my applications were still mapped to the
v1.1.4322.2300 of the .NET Framework. Running the following script
recursively set the default version to v2.0.50727:

=============== =============== =====
C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work\v2.0.50727 \aspnet_regiis. exe -s
W3SVC\
=============== =============== =====

I've been working with Classic ASP for eight years -- long enough to
have read more than a few of your articles and books -- so I recognized
your name right away when you replied. I certainly appreciate you
taking the time to help me out... it's amazing how basic issues like
this are still relatively difficult to find cohesive information on,
in- or outside of repositories like MSDN or Usenet.

I'm gonna add another reply to my top-level post, detailing everything
just in case people happen across the article, and need a play-by-play.
Thanks again!

re:

Run aspnet_regiis -lv from the .Net framework 2.0's directory
( Drive:\WINDOWS\ Microsoft.NET\F ramework\v2.0.5 0727 )

That will list all the installed versions.

If version 2.0.50727.210 is still registered, either run the uninstall tool found here :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/su...l/default.aspx

...or uninstall manually and then reinstall the release version.
The instructions for a manual uninstall are there, too.
