IIS and ASP on Windows 2000 1

[tmcneil]

I am referencing this thread, thread96-903450, and am having the same problem. I am getting a HTTP 500 error which I think is a server application error. The application logs show two errors occuring, W3SVC and DCOM errors one after another. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks,

error 500 is too generic, you need to look in your IIS logs and post the line that you are getting in here.

IIS logs by default are in c:\winnt\system32\logsfiles\ then pick out the correct log (see your IIS manager for the exact location)

you might not have ASP enabled or some such issue

Well, someone told me that ASP.NET works on this box which if configured correctly, one would think it should work with ASP. I copied and pasted the last couple of lines from the IIS logs, but it does not give me any indication as to what is going on.

2008-09-05 12:15:36 10.200.50.23 - 170.97.166.43 80 POST /Website/High_Cost_Loans/zipcode.asp - 500 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322;+InfoPath.1;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727)
2008-09-05 12:18:13 10.200.50.23 - 170.97.166.43 80 POST /Website/High_Cost_Loans/cbsa.asp - 500 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;+MSIE+6.0;+Windows+NT+5.1;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.4322;+InfoPath.1;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727)

The 2nd piece I took from the System Event Viewer logs in Computer Management. The 1st was a "DCOM" error from the System user. The 2nd was a "W3SVC" warning.

The server {3D14228D-FBE1-11D0-995D-00C04FD919C1} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC/3/Root'.  The error was 'Server execution failed
'.

I hope this helps.

in IIS Manager, go to the propeties of your site, click the "home directory" tab, see if excute permissions are "scripts only" (or more if needed)

Click "configuration" and check that .asp is mentioned in the list.

you could also try running a basic test.asp with some basic output just to try it to eliminate something on your page causing an issue.

hope it helps in some way

Hondy,

I tried a basic asp test and still get the same error. I checked all the settings and they are what they are supposed to be. Well, I guess I'll go on to something else and come back to this later.

yes it doesn't sound like a normal config issue but i found something that may help and is a quick one to try if you want to:

If you receive these error messages, the NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users or NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE entry has been removed from the Users group. To resolve the problem, make sure that Authenticated Users and INTERACTIVE are members of the Users Group for that computer.
