Re: Why won't IIS serve ASP files?



You can reinstall DTC (Distributed Transaction Coordinator)

You may also want to search on Google or http://support.microsoft.com for the specific errors you're seeing.

I wish I could report that everything's fine now that I installed .NET
Framework, but alas... I've been through so much by now, there's no telling
what configuration oddities there may be. The latest clues are Event ID 36
re: 'class not registered' and others that seem to involve the MS-DTC. Error
message 8004e00f that COM+ is unable to talk with the DTC, and a search of
the computer for dtcsetup.exe to reinstall it comes up empty. I just don't
know where the DTC was supposed to come from, the OS?? Does any of this add
up to a useful clue for you?

Its a download from Windows Update, or you can download it directly. Using Windows Update is the best method, and you'll need to make 2 or 3 visits to ensure you get the updates to it, as well. It will be listed under the Optional updates.

I see. From your last post, I ran the aspnet_regiis -i and the computer
returned error message that Windows cannot find aspnet_regiis. Sounds like
the whole .NET framework is not yet installed. Right? I do not see it listed
on the Add/Remove Windows Components screen. Should that have been part of
the OS, or is that a download from MS? Thanks for walking me through this.

The .NET Framework is required to serve ASP pages. Typically what happens is a user will use Windows Updates to install all High Priority and Optional updates. The "optional" ones include the .NET framework. Then the user installs IIS, and since the .NET part was installed without IIS being there, it didn't register itself for serving up ASP pages. Since you already have IIS installed, this won't be an issue. Install the .NET Framework 1.1, then go back and get the SP for it and the security patch.

Hmmmm. I'll pursue this further, Doug, but I do not have Visual Studio 6
installed (that I know of), and if .NET Framework was installed, I did not do
it knowingly. Does that install as part of some other routine or component?
IOW, would it have installed as part of something else? AFAIK, all I did was
run the IIS installer in Add/Remove Windows Components. I guess it can't hurt
anything to run the aspnet_regiis.exe. This would help make conventional .asp
files run, not just the .NET files?

Fear not, though, if you installed the Web server after installing the ..NET Framework. You can fix this problem by simply registering the ASP.NET extensions in IIS. Chance are, you installed the ..NET Framework first, and then installed a Web server, like IIS. This causes problems for the following reason: when you install IIS, it does not automatically associate the ASP.NET extensions (.aspx, asmx, .asax, etc.) with the ASP.NET engine. Therefore, it does not properly render ASP.NET Web pages. If, however, you had installed the Web server first, and then the .NET Framework, part of the .NET Framework install would have automatically made these associations for you.

Fear not, though, if you installed the Web server after installing the ..NET Framework. You can fix this problem by simply registering the ASP.NET extensions in IIS. This can be accomplished by running the aspnet_regiis.exe program, available in the WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705 directory. Specifically, run the program as:

aspnet_regiis -i

(The -i option installs the needed associations in IIS.)

Recently got a new box running Win MCE (2002). Installed IIS components
without any trouble, and it appears that all of the required directories
(inetpub, wwwroot, etc) are in place, as are iisstart.asp and localstart.asp.
The network is functioning; I pinged localhost and computer_name and
everything ran as it should. Any html file serves just fine through
http://localhost/. The problem is that it will not serve any ...asp files,
including localstart.asp. I keep getting the error 500 white screen. Even
unchecking the friendly error messages doesn't give me anything useful. I've
been all through the MMC a dozen times looking for anything unusual. The
default web is there. I don't know exactly what the permissions should be set
to, but this is a development system for me only, and I'm logged on as an
administrator, so that should not be the problem. Some versions of IIS
apparently allow you to designate which file extensions to allow and which to
block. (V6.0 apparently comes locked down, so the ASP extension has to be
selected, but I can't find anything similar in v5.1.)

I give up. What's left to consider? I've done this on previous machines (XP
Pro) and don't remember having these sorts of mysteries on my hands. Please
offer the most likely steps I should take to resolve this. It just can't be
as hard as I've made it!
