ASP page won't display without port number

[tranzpupy]

Hi, Everybody,

My ASP site will only display with a port number in the url.

How do I make IIS display it without the port number??

I've created a web site in VS 2005 called webapp1 with one
default.aspx. When I run it in VS 2005 it displays correctly in IE6,
but has the port number in the url:
http://localhost:1481/webApp1/default.aspx

if I type http://localhost/webApp1/default.aspx, without running VS
2005, I get a "Server Application Unavailable"

If I type the url with the port number, it displays correctly.

The IIS log is un-useful:

04:28:13 127.0.0.1 GET /webApp1/default.aspx 500
05:07:14 127.0.0.1 GET /webApp1/ 403
05:07:26 127.0.0.1 GET /webApp1/default.aspx 500

Looks to me like the ASP server is only working through VS 2005.
Or VS 2005 is serving... I don't know.

I'm running Win XP Pro SP2, IIS 5.1, VS 2005, .Net 2.0.

asp_state.exe is running, framework 2.050727

Other bad things that may or may not give you a hint about what to tell
me: I can't create a web site in VS 2003 anymore... the default
webApplication1 says it can't oppen or create, and if I try another
directory it doesn't enable the ok button.

Please help!

Thanks in advance,

Kay

You are using the Visual Studio ASP.NET test environment which is loaded on
demand and only runs locally on a non-standard port.

Ah! Thanks for clearing up that confusion.

If you want to use your app properly, publish it to IIS. You can install IIS
using the 'Add / Remove Windows Components' app from 'Add / Remove Programs'.

I already have IIS installed and working. It serves front page
extensions fine, finding the #include files and #including them. <grin>

It still won't serve aspx pages... even when the virtual directory is
set.

Any more help?

Thanks,

Kay

Make sure .NET is registered with IIS

Yes.

(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...8h(vs.80).aspx - use
aspnet_regiis -i) and that the ASP.NET tab setting for the virtual directory
is set to the correct version

Yes. Still not working. <sad smile Still gettting the same "server
application error."

Perhaps it's time to uninstall and reinstall net framework 1.1 and
2.0???
Do I need to uninstall net framework 1.1 and 2.0 before re-installing??

Thanks again,

Kay

Hi, Leon,

First of all, thanks for the help.

It's working.

Zone Alarm was the culprit. :(
Weird thing is, even though the settings are correct, if Zone Alarm
starts on bootup, I can't display the pages. If I shut down ZA and
restart it after opening my asp pages, I can display pages even while
it's working.

I guess I'll figure that one out later.

Thanks again for the help.

What is the specific error? If it's a 500 error without any details then
look in the IIS log for the website and see what the error message is.
Anything in the Event log?
