Unable to Deploy ASP.Net 2.0 App to Local IIS

[Tim Brooks]

All,
Not sure where else to go. I have: VS2005, XP SP2 Media Center, IIS5.1

Problem:
Apps developed (even simple "Hello WOrld") apps simply won't deploy properly
to either my local IIS instance or to a 2nd server W2003K server.

When I publish, create them as IIS apps, or copy, even after running
both/either the ASP2.) security tab or the web admin (asp based) manager
they will not enable properly.

I have:
- Set to anonymous access
- Given permission to IUSR_ANONYMOUS
- Turned off/uninstalled firewall, and Windows Defender
- Read the even log
- Uninstalled 1.1, and 2.0, repareid and re-installed 2.0
- Re reged ASP with aspnet_regiis
- Unistalled and re-installed IIS services
- etc...

App run fine with the built in Cassini server but won't deploy, won't run,
etc...any other way. I always get a 403 (Access forbidden or 500 unknown)
error.

I have also tried hand-copying and setting permissions for anonymous
manually....also does not work....
Not sure where else to turn....
I am starting to think that ASP in VS2005 is absolute rubbish....

cheers,

Forgot to mention I've also:
- Done a full Windows Update
- Full VS2005 repair

Is it my instance of IIS? VS2005? An ASP.Net set-up issue? Issues with XP
Media Center?

This is the most difficulty I've had with any variant of VS, IIS or
ASP...and I have been using all since ASP first released....

thx again

re:

Unless you've configured impersonation for the IUSR_ANONYMOUS account,
you are giving permissions to the wrong account.

Under XP, ASP.NET runs as the "MachineName\ASPNET" account.
Under W2K3, ASP.NET runs as the "MachineName\Network Service" account.

Give access permissions to the correct account.

Also, under W2K3, you need to explicitly enable ASP.NET 2.0.

Open the IIS Manager, scroll on the left to "Web Service Extensions",
select that, go to the right pane and select the ASP.NET version you
want to enable and click the "Allow" button.

Repeat the sequence for all versions of ASP.NET you want to enable.

Juan,

Thanks for the response. I've since gotten it working and it all seemed to
be because of the OS. I was using a machine that came pre-built with Media
Center and, because VS2005 installed fine and ASP.Net seemed to work (and
the docs said so, too) I assumed that it did.

I have since completely rebuilt the entire machine with XP Pro...and ASP.Net
worked correctly right out of the gate. Even got debugging working, had not
worked previously for ASP.Net projects....

Oh well.....
thanks all...
