IIS 6 Issue - if there is a better thread for this let me know

I am running a web server (IIS) on Windows 2003 SP 1. My ASP.NET C#
applications run fine. However, my application is a combination of Classic
ASP and C#. For some reason when you attempt to access the Classic ASP
components of the application you are presented with this useless error
message: "The system cannot find the file specified"

The ASP.NET applications are contained within one directory, for instance
e:\dasinstall\m yapplication. The classic asp apps are in their own
individual directories: e:\dasinstall\m yclassicaspappl ication

Doing some research on my own, this error message typically has something to
do with permissions. So to eliminate that (at least on the OS/NTFS side) I
gave everyone full control of the entire drive (the e drive following the
example above, and this is something that of course I would not do in a
production environment). This obviously did not help.

Other Items to know:

1. I am not running FrontPage Server Extensions.
2. There is only one IP address assigned to the server.
3. The server can be accessed over the network via IP and Server Name. A
tracert produces the correct results when ran from the server or my laptop
which is on the same network. I connect to the network the same way the
server does: through a traditional lan connection (no wireless or dial up).

I am an Enterprise MSDN subscriber and look forward to some HELP!

Thanks again!

Try reposting to microsoft.publi c.dotnet.framew ork.aspnet.

You're correct in that it's likely a security issue. You may want to mention what type of
authentication you are using for each of your web apps when you repost. You may also want to
indicate where in the code the error occurs.

Hi all. I'm relatively new to delegates and asynchronous threading and am running into an issue.

We have an ASP.NET application that uses COM objects through Interop. The web application requires access to network and database resources and hence, needs to impersonate a domain account. The problem is that even when it is configured to run under a certain identity through Web.config, the impersonation is not carried through to COM library. Consequently, the code in COM object runs under a local account and any code that needs to access...

I have a server where the main web application (root) is now migrated to 2.0. It's web.config has a line where it adds the system.data.oracleclient in the configuration and assembiles section.

I'm looking into a production issue related to a windows service and System.Timers.Timer. The background is the windows service uses a System.Timers.Timer to periodically poll a directory location on a network for files and then copies these files to another location (on the network) AND then updates a record in the database. The file copying is performed before the database update because the file system is not transactional. The code...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
