Re: Server Unavailable - ASP.NET 2.0 on Windows XP

Hi Juan,

The error message is "Server Application Unavailable". The user account I've
setup in "Directory Security" tab of IIS is "HOME-WKSTATION\ASPNET".

In the event viewer, I get one warning...

[quote]
The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account
'HOME-WKSTATION\ASPNET' due to the following error: Logon failure: unknown
user name or bad password.
[/quote]

followed by 6 errors of the same...

[quote]
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation
permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{A9E69610-B80D-11D0-B9B9-00A0C922E750}
to the user HOME-WKSTATION\ASPNET SID
(S-1-5-21-515967899-413027322-839522115-1007). This security permission can
be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
[/quote]

I tried setting the user to just "ASPNET" instead of "HOME-WKSTATION\ASPNET"
and I tried to refresh the page in browser and I get "The specified module
could not be found" error.

This time, in the event viewer, I only got one warning...

[quote]
The server was unable to logon the Windows NT account 'ASPNET' due to the
following error: The specified module could not be found. The data is the
error code.
[/quote]

Just for the record, all I doing was just executing a test ASP.NET page with
the "Hello World" code in it.

Thanks,
Jon

One more thing...

Is the error message "Server Application Unavailable" or is it "Server
Unavailable" ?

Could you look in the event log, and see what additional info is
there about your "Server Application Unavailable" error message ?

Look in "Start Menu", "Programs", "Administrative Tools", "Event Viewer".
You should be able to find the specific error in the Application log.

re;

error...

OK...

re:
And btw, I'm using IIS5 with WinXP not IIS6 (just telling because of the
article you've provided me was about ASP.NET 2.0 with IIS6).

Nevertheless, the article is valid for IIS 5.1 ( which is what you're
running, not 5.0 )
and ASP.NET 2.0, as long as you disregard the Application Pool info.

Please review the permissions outlined in this article.
They were written for ASP.NET 1.1, but they are just as valid for ASP.NET
2.0:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetsec/html/secnetht01.asp

Make sure that the HOME-WKSTATION\ASPNET account has been assigned NTFS
permissions to all the directories listed in the chart, making sure, of
course, that the proper
directory ( \WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 ) is checked.

Make sure you read the instructions in the "Comments" column.
*All* the directories listed in the left-most column need the correct
NTFS permissions applied.

When you're done doing that, test and post your results.

Hi Juan,

Thanks for the reply. I have the latest version in following folder...

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

So I switched to that directory in Command Prompt and tried the
following...

aspnet_regiis -ga HOME-WKSTATION\ASPNET

Command worked. However, I'm still getting the "Server Unavailable"
error...

Thanks again.

Jon

Hi, Jon.

re:
Another interesting thing is when I tried to do aspnet_regiis -ga
HOME-WKSTATION\ASPNET under v2.0.50215 folder (as described in the
article), I get "Invalid Command"

...there's your problem.

v2.0.50215 is the beta 2 version of the .Net Framework...which has many
bugs.
The -ga command isn't a part of that beta version.

The released version of the .Net Framework is v2.0.50727.42

Uninstall that beta version and download/install -at least- the 2.0
redistributable :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en

You might want to -instead- download/install the full SDK from :

Hi Juan,

The thing is, I cannot execute any ASP.NET pages. Even your
Identity.aspx page. I keep on getting the "Server Unavailable" error.
That is of course, in ASP.NET 2. However, when I tried with ASP.NET
1.1, I get...

HOME-WKSTATION\ASPNET

I ran the examples in KBs ***exactly*** the way it presented (with the
substitue of the variables of course).

And btw, I'm using IIS5 with WinXP not IIS6 (just telling because of
the article you've provided me was about ASP.NET 2.0 with IIS6).

Another interesting thing is when I tried to do aspnet_regiis -ga
HOME-WKSTATION\ASPNET under v2.0.50215 folder (as described in the
article), I get "Invalid Command" and a list of switches that
aspnet_regiis accepts, which does not contains a 'ga' switch.

Plz help...

Are you still getting this error ?

2.) Failed to execute the request because the ASP.NET process
identity does not have read
permissions to the global assembly cache. Error: 0x80131902

Did you run "identity.aspx", which I provided for you ?
Which user account was returned by it ?

How did you run the example command provided by the KB ?

cacls %windir%\assembly /e /t /p domain\useraccount:R

?

Have you read this article :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag2/html/paght000009.asp

?

Please review the steps in it, for creating a service account for an
ASP.NET 2.0 application,
and make sure that the account retrned by "identity.aspx" has all the
permissions
listed in that article.

In particular, make sure you run the following aspnet_regiis command
:

aspnet_regiis -ga MachineName\AccountName

where "MachineName\AccountName" is the account returned by
"identity.aspx".

Then post back your results.

Hi Juan,

Thanks for the reply. I've set permission to all the folders and
everything but still it doesn't
work.

I've also tried the "Denis Bauer's ASP.NET Version Switcher" but
that doesn't help either.

Any other ideas?

Cheers,
Jon B

If you're running on Windows XP, the account which needs
permissions is
MACHINENAME\ASPNET...even if you're allowing anonymous access.

Try granting access permissions to the appropiate account, as
outlined above.

If you are still having problems after that, and you're
impersonating some account,
save this code as "identity.aspx" and run it :

identity.aspx
========

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = System.Security.Principal %>
<script runat="server">
Sub Page_Load()
Dim tmp As String = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name()
Label1.Text = tmp
End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
<title>WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name()</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
======

Running that file will tell you which account ASP.NET is running
as.
Then, assign the appropiate permissions to that account.

Also, download and run Denis Bauer's ASP.NET Version Switcher,
and make sure that you're actually running 1.1 apps against the
1.1 .Net Framework and 2.0 apps against .Net Framework 2.0.

Hi All!

I have a ASP.NET 2.0 site that works on the Windows 2000 Server.
However, when I tried to view
this site on my local Windows XP machine, I get "Server
Unavailable". If I switch the Windows XP
IIS back to ASP.NET 1.1 then I get the Configuration Error (which
is understandable because I'm
trying to run an ASP.NET 2 site with 1.1 framework).

I can however view other ASP.NET 1.1 sites on my local Windows XP
machine. It's only the problem
with

I've also tried the aspnet_regiis thing as well as setting
permissions on folders as described
in this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=811320
but no solution.

In the event log, I see these three errors every I tried to view
my ASP.NET 2.0 site on my local
machine...

<errors>

1.) .aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 3988) stopped unexpectedly

2.) Failed to execute the request because the ASP.NET process
identity does not have read
permissions to the global assembly cache. Error: 0x80131902

3.) Failed to initialize the AppDomain:/LM/W3SVC/1/Root

Exception: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException

Message: Exception of type
'System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException' was thrown.

</errors>

What could be the problem?!?!?!? Plz, any solutions or pointers to
solutions are much
appreciated!!!

Thank you all in advance!!!

Jon
