  'Server Application Unavailable' error when testing ASP 2.0 code in IIS inWIndows XP

  Mar 06, 2007 08:09 AM|LINK

  Problem: 'Server Application Unavailable' error when testing ASP 2.0 code in IIS.
  The event log said:
      'Failed to execute request because the App-Domain could not be created. Error: 0x80131902'

  In the same Windows XP box, I copied my ASP 2.0 codes from Visual Studio 2005 Dev. Environment to IIS. When I tried 'Localhost' or from another computer on the LAN to access the default aspx page,  I got 'Server Application Unavailable' error.

  I have done some resaerch in this forum and still could not find the solution.  Please Help me out.

  Background:
    - This is the first time I deploy ASP 2.0 code from my Developemnt Environment to IIS.
    - My Visual Studio 2005 and the IIS are in the same WIndows XP box.
    - Database is Oracle and my codes need to have full access to Local and network resources.
    - Everything work well in Development Environment.
   
  What I did:
    - I installed IIS using Windows XP CD.
    - In IIS, I changed the Default Web Site's "ASP.NET Version" to '2.0.50727'.
    - In IIS, I setup the default page to use my 'Default.aspx'.
    - I mirrored all my ASP 2.0 codes to the Inetpub\wwwroot.
    - My Web.Config is quite simple (see below)
       <configuration ...>
         <appSettings >...</appSettings>
         <connectionStrings>... </connectionStrings>
         <system.net>
           <mailSettings>
             <smtp deliveryMethod="Network">
               <network host="..." userName="..." password="..." />
             </smtp>
           </mailSettings>
         </system.net>
         <system.web>
             <compilation debug="true">
              <assemblies>
                <add assembly="Oracle.DataAccess, Version=..., Culture=..., PublicKeyToken=..."/>
              </assemblies>
           </compilation>
             <authentication mode="Windows"/>
             <customErrors mode="..." defaultRedirect="...">
                  ...
             </customErrors>
             <sessionState mode="InProc" cookieless="false" timeout="30" />
             <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="10240" />
         </system.web>
      </configuration>
     
  What Happen:
    - I got 'Server Application Unavailable'error when trying 'Localhost' or browsing the site
    - The event log said:
      'Failed to execute request because the App-Domain could not be created. Error: 0x80131902'

  
  My Attempt:
    - It seems to be security issue, so I took one of the suggestion from forum
     and add <processModel...> sub-node to <system.web> in Web.Config file:
       <system.web>
          ...
          <processModel  userName="SYSTEM" password="AutoGenerate" />
          ...
       </system.web>
    
     However, I still got the same error.
    
  Please help.

  Thanks!

  Re: 'Server Application Unavailable' error when testing ASP 2.0 code in IIS inWIndows XP

  I am answering my own question after surveying numerous ''Server Application Unavailable' threads and made more trials.

  I did two things to make it work:
    a) Run 'CMD' to open up DOS command window
    b) cd to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727           (for ASP 2.0)
    c) execute this    ..>aspnet_regiis -i                                               (register)
    d) then open  C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config file
        and modified the line <processModel autoConfig="true" userName="machine" password="AutoGenerate" />
    e) stop/restart my seb site 
    f)  Now, it works when I type in 'Localhost'.  (what a relief, and I hope this help whoever is searching for answer.)

  However, now I am running into a different issue. 
  
  ISSUE: When I browse my site from another computer in the LAN, the browser popup login window for username/pswd.
  
  I must missed some IIS setup for internet access. Can some one help me out???
