hii...suddenly i am facing a peculiar situation...
when i try to create a new project...i get the foll message...
i am using .net 1.1
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’.
There could be a number of reasons why you might be getting this error.
First of all you should check that you have .NET Framework 1.1 installed properly on your web server.
You can do this by:
1) Opening Control Pannel
2) Open Administrative Tools
3) Open Internet Information Services
4) Expand all the folders and find the "Default Web Site" folder (should look like a globe with a hand under it)
5) Right click on the "Default Web Site" and select Properties
5) Click the ASP .NET tab
6) Select the proper ASP .NET version (Version 1.1)
7) Click apply.
If this doesn't solve your problem you'll have to take some additional steps to re-create the ASPNET user account.
What I think happens is:
Upon a fresh Windows install, you do all the updates.
One of the updates installs .NET Framework 1.0.
As a result the ASPNET user is created to use this framework.
Later during the updates .NET Framework 1.1 (+) is installed but the ASPNET user isn't updated to know how to use it.
To fix this I you need to recreate the ASPNET user and re-registered the .NET Framework version that you are using.
To do this:
1) delete the ASPNET Windows user
2) open a cmd window
3) go to the directory where your Framework 1.1 is installed
(this is likely in your C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322)
4) type: aspnet_regiis -i
(this will re-register the Framework 1.1 and reinstall your ASPNET user so that it works properly)
After you've done this, reboot and then double check that your IIS is still set up to use the .NET Framework 1.1.
Hopefully this will help you. I ran into this problem a while ago and it took me Days to figure out.
Cheers!
