IIS Services won't Start

[ilMac]

I have installed IIS 5.0 on a domain controler (windows 2000) that also runs DNS. I have installed it as an enterprise CA. IIS wont start and shows and error message in the system log:

The World Wide Web publishing service terminated with the following error:
The service can not be started, either because it is disabled or has no enabled devices with it.

Why wont it start?
Thanx in advance

That's a tough one.....lots of close hits, nothing exact.

You may try reinstalling IIS. Are there any other errors before or after this one?

sounds like a corrupt or missing metabase or damaged registry.

try setting the

http://www service

to disabled in the management console. Then setting it back to automatic see if that works, before taking the reinstall route.

check if the IP/port combination is in use.

If it is iis wont start a site with same.

try change the port or IP on the website and see if it will start.
