IIS 5 stopped serving pages

[Jim Stools]

Server 2000 IIS 5

The server stopped serving pages on all the web sites: The Following error
message:

The page cannot be found

HTTP 404 - File not found
Internet Information Services

I checked the web sites under IIS and they are running. I've re-booted the
system and the problem continues. However the mail server is working. Even
localhost gives me the same problem. Any Ideas?

Check your antivirus software's script blocking.

I've determined, an error of some kind has deveopled in the software or
hardware -- who knows what. I could not find a repair feature in server
2000. So I bought a new server with server 2003 and spent 2 days properly
configuring it and copying over my data & software. I have had hardware
problems with this server before and recently had to replaced the network
card. I had bought server 2003 last November, but was afraid to install it,
so all I really had to do was buy the hardware.
