Hi,

I have a web server running IIS 5.0 in Windows 2k. I've installed two
different web sites using the same set of ASP/SQL code. The second
site does not function correctly, although there are no errors in the
logs.

To try and debug the problem, I turned on server and client side
script debugging on the second site. When loading the second site, a
server side error is displayed, and the client browser waits for a
response before continuing to load. The ASP Script showing on the
server debug screen is from an entirely different web site, completely
unrelated to either of these two sites!

I've verified my IIS web site setup as correct. I'm hosting about 50
different web sites on this server.

The script that does show up in the debug window is from a site that
gets a lot of traffic. Once I answer the debug screen by stepping
into the script, the page finishes loading from the second site. The
script that popped up in the debug window is for an entirely different
domain, and has completely different graphics and code. The second
site page does load correctly once you answer the script error from
the unrelated site page.

I know this sounds confusing, but is my web server just overloaded,
and the ASP scripts are overlapping somehow? I'm really lost with this
one. Why does the debug window pop up for an unrelated site, one that
doesn't have debugging turned on?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
