Server Application Unavailable on hosted server, not locally though

[dalton]

I wrote a few webservices in VB .NET 1.1 and have verified they are
functional on localhost. The website they are intended for is paid
hosting (I don't have direct access to the server) that supports .NET
1.1.

After transferring the project to the site if I try to browse to
the .asmx file it always comes up with the standard "Server
Application Unavailable" error.

Sometimes I have been able to get it to show me the available services
by browsing to the site but after any change and re-upload I always
have to go through an arduous guessing process for an hour or so
before getting it to show the services again (usually by luck; I have
no idea what makes it finally work).

Can anyone tell me what is at play here? I hope there is a standard
way to just update my web services locally, upload them, and have them
available without going through hoops to change a hidden setting.

Thanks,

Dalton

Thanks for the suggestion. Since this problem is happening on a
hosted server I do not have the ability to mess with IIS or to look at
the event log (which the error refers to).

For future searches I should mention that this problem has been
resolved. After submitting a support ticket to the hosting company
they changed some settings on the server and I was then able to view
the .asmx file.
