Server Application error on testing of asp.net 1

[raghu3]

I get the following error when I try to test .aspx file.
I see .NET framework 1.1 installed on the server. This is windows 2003 standard edition: NO service packs and IIS6

Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the application event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.


Any help ???
As of now this server hosts a bunch of web sites that run classic ASP.

It could be one of many things. First step is to try running "aspnet_regiis -i" from the server.

I am not sure how this will affect other web sites hosted on this box ?

All the web sites this server hosts have an aspnet_client directory under their root except for this site that I need to work on.

Does this mean that each site needs to be configured via asnet_regiis to run .NET pages ?

I do not want to play around with the box as some sites it hosts are critical and make https calls.

Need some direction on this.

thanks

No it doesn't - I just thought that you may have a problem with the framework but if you have other .NET sites running on it then it must be fine.

What versions of the framework are installed on the server? What OS is the server running? What version of the framework was this site compiled with?

Other sites have persists asp mail and some .aspx files. I am not sure if these are used. I see aspnet_client folder in other sites except for this one.

The server runs Microsoft.NET framework 1.1
windows 2003: no service pack

The site in question has static html so no compilation is required.
I have to add on some application and prefer asp.net over classic asp. A simple classic asp to output current date time works, the same in asp.net gives the error.

If it's windows 2003, it may be that ASP.NET has it's permissions set to Not Allowed or Prohibited. In IIS, go to Web Service Extensions and have a look at what the status is for ASP.NET.

asp.net v1.1.4322 is allowed

 

[ca8msm]

OK, you could try going through some of the steps that I posted in thread855-1156188 (I'd only be repeating them here anyway).

Will try the steps and update.
Thanks a lot for the prompt response.

This worked:
1. Create a virtual directory under the web site for the .aspx files.
2. Give the ASP.NET user ( in my case this runs under a seperate application pool) read/write/execute permissions on the physical path. Again in my case all permissions are governed by AD users/group policies.

Thanks for the help: you get a star.
