ASP / MySql Installation - Cannot View ASP anymore

[manitou]

Hello,

I am a newbie to the world of servers and server problems alike. I run IIS on a Windows 2000 Adv. box. I recently transferred a website to my server which runs ASP pages that access an ACCESS database. I had everything working thanks to this and other forums.

upon the installation of MySql and MySqlODBC my server throws up an error like this when trying to run the ASP pages:

"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."

I am the server administrator and I've asked myself for assistance for the past week....to no avail.

What happened? Can someone please help my figure this out? This error was not present prior to the installation.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Manitou

Jemminger,

I checked the Event Viewer if that is the same thing. I seemed to update everytime I tried to access the ASP pages so I know its relateed somehow. Here is what I found:

1.)Source W3SCV - Event ID 36 - Warning - The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC/3/Root'. The error was 'General access denied error'.

-- I looked this up at Microsoft and only found a reference to Crystal and that it messes with the Registry Keys. It offered a downloadable patch....nothing for MySql.--

2.)Source DCOM - Event ID 10001 Unable to start a DCOM Server: {99169CB1-A707-11D0-989D-00C04FD919C1} as ./IWAM_INFINOLO-HSNMOP. The error: "Access is denied. " Happened while starting this command: C:\WINNT\System32\dllhost.exe /Processid:{3D14228D-FBE1-11D0-995D-00C04FD919C1}

-- Looks like a permissions error. I again looked at Microsoft for answers and there was no "10001" ID there was a 10002 ID and it had to do with changing the registry.--

Crap. I am really at a loss. I don't want to mess with the registry unless I find the exact anwser to my problem. Have you or anyone had this Error after installing MySql?

Your response is greatly appreciated.

hmm...i wouldn't go messing with the registry yet. i've not had problems with it - i have IIS on Win2000 Pro, with PHP, mySql and MS SQL 7 installed.

i would try uninstalling mySql first, then see if you can view ASP pages again.

then try stopping IIS, reinstall mySql. =========================================================

Thanks for your timely response. I tried uninstalling MySql and reinstalling it...to no avail. How do I stop IIS to install MySQL?

Thanks,
Manitou

using Internet Services Manager, right-click on web server and choose Restart IIS..., then select Stop Internet Services.
