My asp file works but am getting Server Application Error 1

[bcicsuci]

Hi,

I have an asp file that works a Win 2000 machine with IIS but the same file does not work on another Win 2000 machine that has IIS. Does anyone have a quick fix on what can be the cause for the error message below?


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.



By the way, I can view html files but not asp files on the URL name that was set to view asp files.

Thanks.
Carmina

The error message you get says "Please refer to the event log for more detail information." - what appears in the event log?

Do you mean you cannot run any ASP files on this server?

I suspect that you do not have an ASP application defined on the new server. If you have access to the server try this...

On the server desktop right-click "My computer" and select "Manage" - you are then in "Management Console"

Double click on "Services and Applications" to expand it and then double click on "Internet Information Services" to expand that. You should see the FTP/Web/SMTP servers. You have to find the "virtual server" in which your ASP is trying to run.

For example - if your server is called "pogo" and the asp address if "

http://pogo/.../something.asp

then you need to look in the default web server.

When you have found the virtual server in the management console right-click it's root (it should have a globe+hand icon) and select "properties"

Click the "Home Directory" tab.

At the bottom of the dialogue box you should see "Application setting". I'm guessing that no application has been created. If so you'll see a "create" button. Click it.

Leave the settings as default and click "Ok".

Try running your ASP again.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, rewebb. I checked my settings to verify that my settings matched with your information. I was still getting the same error so I looked around the web some more and found the solution. Crystal Reports had been installed on my machine causing the original registry settings to be modified. I followed the instructions at

to fix the problem.
