I have a 2003Server with IIS6.0 on our company intranet and have migrated
some websites from IIS5 on W2k to this server. I get the above error along
with 'Cannot find server or DNS error' at the bottom of the page. Everyone
has permissions and the service extension for Active Server Pages is set to
Allow... DNS server was configured properly... the websites ping to the right
server... HTM pages work fine, just not ASP.

Please help!

"Cannot find server or DNS error" indicates that the browser can not contact
the server, or the server is not responding at all. Odd that HTML pages
work.

On the IIS server, if you look in the IIS log files
(c:\windows\system32\logfiles\) for the website in question, is the request
being logged at all?

Yes, in the HTTPERR directory under logfiles directory, in httperr1.log, I am
getting a 'Connection_Dropped' status everytime I try to open an ASP page...
Any help would be appreciated.

I want you to check with a simple "Hello World" ASP page whether it works on
your web server or not.

I also want to ask whether you have any global.asa or such "globally"
included files and if so, check them for usage of any components that may
not be installed on the server. Seen several cases of "broken" ASP pages
come down to a global.asa instantiating some missing component that the user
forgot to migrate.

I do have to say that the other day, I saw a similarly mysterious case where
the web server would server HTML just fine, but any ISAPI (including ASP and
ASP.Net) requests fail with "Connection_Dropped" in HTTPERR. I debugged it
to determine that IIS got the request, the ISAPI executed correctly and sent
back a valid response to HTTP.SYS (so from IIS perspective, everything was
ok), but for an unknown reason, HTTP.SYS dropped the response and the
connection. I did not figure out why that was happening, though a re-install
of IIS fixed that issue. I'm not suggesting to do a re-install -- just
pointing out a possibly similar situation I had seen. We will need to gather
some more data points first.

Hi Steve,
Have you allowed asp pages to execute which is under IIS Manager>>web
service extensions>> Active Server Pages.

In IIS 5.0 By default everything will be enabled but in IIS 6.0 You need to
explicitly enable the services required.

Cheers,

Yes, I have already done that.

I went ahead and re-installed IIS and that fixed the issue... thanks for all
your help.

Sorry for jumping in late...

Edit Metabase.xml file in c:\windows\system32\inetsrv and replace path
C:\winnt to c:\windows. Remember to stop IIS before you edit this file.
