Problem with IIS.

[Validus]

I installed IIS, everything looks okay but It can?t load ASP files. HMTL files work, I can also ping local host, and get a directory listing showing the files.

I get this error message on all and any ASP file:

Server Application Error
The server has encountered an error while loading an application during the processing of your request. Please refer to the event log for more detail information. Please contact the server administrator for assistance.


The Event log shows me this every time I try to load an ASP:

Source: W3SVC Event ID: 36
The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC/1/ROOT'.
The error was 'Class not registered'.


Any ideas?

I got an idea... Uninstall IIS and install Apache.

Win2k or Win2k3...?

Win2k3 disables ASP pages out of the box..

if it's win2k...need more info...could be 1 of many issues.

Actually it is Windows XP Professiona, IIL 5.1 (I believe).

1. Verify if the following COM+ Applications are in Component Services
(Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Components Services; expand
Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> COM+ Applications)
IIS In-Process Applications
Out-of-Process Pooled Applications
IIS Utilities

2. If these components are not listed here, run the following command:
cd %windir%\system32\inetsrv rundll32 wamreg.dll, CreateIISPackage

3. Close and re-open Component Services and verify the COM+ Applications
are now visible.
4. Browse any simple asp page and check if it works.

Hey, thanks for your help. It is the COM+ that is causing the problem. It keeps on crashing... can I re-install it somehow?

[RFlagg]

you can always re-install...just make sure you are doing so as the local administrator, also..make sure you are patched, SPed & hotfixed after re-installation of IIS...
