IIS 5.1 crash 1

[JeroenDortmans]

Hi,

I am having problems with my IIS 5.1 server on one particular asp script.
The servers runs fine until I try to run this script. Then the page won’t load and after that the server doesn’t respond until I shut it down and start it again. The script does run on a IIS 4 server, so what can this be. Here is the code of the script.

<%
DIM Path_BAT, DrawingNrVar, ComplPath, ServerPath
Path_BAT = &quot;\\IS0001\Shared_Apps\DAF_Progs\Trace2\TraceDirectView&quot;
DrawingNrVar = &quot;Drawing_number&quot;
ComplPath = Path_BAT + &quot; &quot; + DrawingNrVar
ServerPath = Server.MapPath(&quot;Temp_BAT_file\View_VOG.BAT&quot
Response.write ServerPath

DIM filesys, filetxt, getname, path
Set filesys = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set filetxt = filesys.CreateTextFile (ServerPath)
path = filesys.GetAbsolutePathName (ServerPath)
getname = filesys.GetFileName(path)
filetxt.WriteLine (&quot;echo off&quot
filetxt.WriteLine (ComplPath)
filetxt.WriteLine (&quot;exit&quot
filetxt.Close
%>

I have the same problem.
it is on the line &quot;Set filetxt = filesys.CreateTextFile (ServerPath)&quot; that your script stops. Did you find any solution ?

It seems to be a general problem with Windows 2000
I have the following code in an asp page and the page &quot;hangs&quot;

Dim rFSO, rbj2
Set rFSO = server.CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set rbj2 = rFSO.OpenTextFile(server.MapPath(&quot;textfile.txt&quot,1 ) '<- Hangs without error description

I have set full privileges for the I_USR_xxxx on the directory where the text file is.

I need urgent help on this...

Thank you

As stupid as it sound, the problem seems to be: NORTON-ANTIVIRUS Script protection that has to be turned off... I had the same problem and it worked fine after disabling it (and after wasting a lot of time changing all the IIS options withought any reason...)

Hope this helps

LOL - sorry. Wish I'd seen this earlier.

I ran into this same problem in other contexts. In my case it was in HTML Applications (.HTA files). These are standalone desktop applications that offer you a really slick method of building a GUI VBScript.

We have since eradicated any and all Norton Burglar Tools from all machines. We have a nearly 15-year history of damage control traced directly to Norton schtuff all the way back to their old &quot;DOS Undelete&quot; thingy that trashed the FAT occasionally.

In this case I suspect that they &quot;hook&quot; the FSO - probably by the crude method of replacing scrrun.dll with a hacked version. Didn't look further, we just uninstalled the stuff from all machines over a 3 month period.

Of course you may want to look at alternatives for virus protection - we just think Norton is too aggressive/obstructive and got tired of tweaking settings on 33 servers and 1200 desktops.

They ought to put Ed Norton's pic on the box.
