URL: 'http://localhost/WebProject1', 'HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error'

[larkpics]

Hi, I know this goes round and round... but here goes this thread yet
again. I just started at a new company which has strong security and
cannot get my IIS working. I know I'm doing something stupid but
what??? Here's the details.

http://localhost/ returns a "Server Application Error" and VS.NET
returns "The Web server reported the following error when attempting to
create or open the Web project located at the following URL:
'http://localhost/WebProject1', 'HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error'.

I have two virtual directories in wwwroot which work fine. I have
created and run the following bat file:



Echo "Stop IIS"

iisreset /stop
echo "----------------------"

echo "Deleting the ASPNET account."
net user ASPNET /delete
echo "----------------------"

echo "Reregistering ASP.NET and the ASPNET account."
aspnet_regiis -i

echo "Restarting IIS."
iisreset /start
echo "----------------------"



without success. I have also disabled McAfee's On-Access Scan.
Something tells me I have configured FrontPage extensions incorrectly.
Does anyone have any good suggestions? My thanks in advance.


Configuration details:

XP Professional
VS.NET 2003
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0.0

I'd like to see if there are is a more specifc error. Is the 'Enable
friendly http error messages' setting in your browser unchecked?

 

[larkpics]

Yes, all the friendlys are disabled and script debugging is enabled

 

[Sebastian Wojciechowski]

do you have a proxy enabled in IE?
If you have select "bypass for local addresses.

 

[larkpics]

No my HTTP Settings are set to "use HTTP1.1"

It seems to me I go through this everytime I configure IIS on a new
work station. You'd think I would learn how to do this by now

 

[larkpics]

Help please.... don't give up on me....

My localhost now reports: "No web site is configured at this address."

Visual Studio.NET 2003 reports: "Visual Studio .NET has detected that
the specified Web Server is not running ASP.NET version 1.1. You will
be unable to run ASP.NET applications or services."

In Visual Studio Help under "About Microsoft Development Environment,"
it reports: "Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Version 1.1.4322 SP1"

Does anybody know how to fix this? Please...

Thanks!

larkpics this errors are very geenric.
When you get that error try clicking help on the dialog box you get and make
sure
you have done all required.
What might be could be relaed to permissions.
Are you sure you have given ASPNET acct the right permissions and also make
sure
that account can access your WWWROOT folder and make sure its shared and
assign permissions to it
The other thing is do you have VS Developers acct
Got through this artciles at:-

Been there, done that. I have re-registered v1.1 till I'm blue in the
face. I have given ASP.NET full Control of v1.1.4322. I have stopped
and started IIS. I have read eveything on MSDN and elsewhere to no
avail. What am I missing?

 

[larkpics]

PROBLEM SOLVED! When you are going round and round, you end up
corrupting your installation of .NET Framework. To fix this, load your
Prerequisites disc and Start > Run >

E:\dotNetFramework\dotnetfx.exe /t:c:\temp /c:"msiexec.exe /fvecms
c:\temp\netfx.msi"

when E: is the drive letter of the disc.

Well good you fixed it that means you must have tempered with the curent
installstion you
had.
