Server Application Unavailable after updates

Hello,

I've seen bits and pieces of this problem, on the newsgroups, but I haven't
been able to get it exactly how it happened to me...

I've been using Visual Studio and learning ASP.NET with no problems. IIS is
working and everything was just fine.

Then my company did some Microsoft updates (I wish I knew exactly which
ones) on my machine and now when I try to open any of the pages I built, I
get the Server Application Unavailable error.

I am new at this, so I am not exactly sure where to look to help resolve
this. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks.

-Rob

p.s. I am running Windows 2K Pro.

run the aspnet_regiis.exe -i
start there and see if that fixes

Curt,

Thanks for the advice, unfortunately it didn't work. When I browse to any of
the Virtual Directories, I get this error. However, I don't get the error
when I open the IIS Help directory. Does that make any sense?

have you tried putting a simple HTM file in your folder?
Are you running Win2003 server?

Curt,

A simple HTM did work!

I am running Windows 2000 Pro.

Just so you know, I did try reinstalling .NET

Thanks for your help.

Oh, this is a problem on a workstation, not a server?
And when you say you reinstalled .NET, you mean VS.NET or the .NET
framework?
Also, what version .NET framework?
Also, when you say you "run" these pages, from within VS or manually through
IE with a http://localhost/virtDir/page.aspx ?

Sorry I'm so vague on this stuff, I'm still learning. Thanks for your
patience, I really appreciate the help.

I reinstalled the .NET framework, version 1.1

I've tried to run the files several ways: from inside VS, manually through
IE and also through Browse on the Virtual Directories in IIS.

I'm assuming that you have VS 2003 then since you are using 1.1 framework?

Try creating a new asp.net app once, with just a simple "hello world" in
it... does that work? It will help eliminate compatability issues....

I do have VS 2003.

When I try and create a new asp.net app, I get the error: "The web server
reported the following error when attempting to create or open the Web
project located at the following URL: 'http://localhost/WebApplication1'.
'HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error'. "

I have the same problem of the "Server Unavailable Error" appearing
each time I reboot the computer. It started recently after a Windows
Update patch.

I have tried running
c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspne t_regiis.exe -i but
it doesn't fix the issue.

However I *can* resolve it by running a batch file from this page:
http://www.asp.net/faq/ms03-32-issue.aspx

That page claims the issue is only with Version 1.0 and Windows XP
Professional but I can confirm it also affects 1.1 on Windows XP
Professional.

The annoying thing is I have to run that batch file after every
reboot!

I've seen this, but was afraid to try it since it is for Windows XP and I

I have the same problem of the "Server Unavailable Error" appearing
each time I reboot the computer. It started recently after a Windows
Update patch.

I have tried running
c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspne t_regiis.exe -i but
it doesn't fix the issue.

However I *can* resolve it by running a batch file from this page:
http://www.asp.net/faq/ms03-32-issue.aspx

That page claims the issue is only with Version 1.0 and Windows XP
Professional but I can confirm it also affects 1.1 on Windows XP
Professional.

The annoying thing is I have to run that batch file after every
reboot!

I do have VS 2003.

When I try and create a new asp.net app, I get the error: "The web server reported the following error when attempting to create or open the Web
project located at the following URL: 'http://localhost/WebApplication1'. 'HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error'. "

I'm assuming that you have VS 2003 then since you are using 1.1 framework?
Try creating a new asp.net app once, with just a simple "hello world" in it... does that work? It will help eliminate compatability issues....
