Hi there,

I am very very new to asp.net and iis server.  I have been in PHP, Apache, Mysql for the past 3 years and now i have changed jobs to go into the .net field.  I am really excited.  I downloaded the express edition of the required software.

first mistake, i loaded net framework and c#, sql express edition first and then i installed IIS from windows.  After that i couldnt execute my scripts.  after some research on net, it turns out that i have to install IIS first and then load .net framework.  So currently i am doing that.  Am uninstalling everything and gonna load all things in order now.

 Question:  Why do i have to load iis first and then .net?
Any other mistake that i should look out for (since i am a newbie)?

I guess i will need lots of help in the beginning but once i understand the basic, then there is no looking back.

cheers
 

If IIS is already installed, the .NET Framework detects that and registers itself for use in IIS.  If not, you need to register it.  Don't reinstall, run aspnet_regiis.exe -i and you'll be fine.

sorry, i already uninstalled them and have reinstalled the iis and .net.

and then i mapped a new directory to the folder where my files are.

Funny thing is that when i do localhost in IE, it doesnt ask for login but when i do localhost on firefox, i have to login as administrator and only then i can see the localhost.  any way around this issue?

thanks
 

ok now this problem i just got.

If the file is .asp, it runs fine.   but if i rename the file to aspx it never loads.  the browser circle keeps going round and doesnt stop.  Even all aspx files are not executing but asp files are?  how can i solve this issue?

thanks

ok i did aspnet_regiis.exe -i from cmd.  but pas do give full information such as going to  C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 and then running the command .  As i stated, i am very new to this.  I had to search for the aspnet_regiis.exe file in my computer.

ok i ran the command and got this.

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis.exe -i

HELP please....

thanks 

First do a cold bot and see if the service starts.  And what OS are you running on?  Server 2003 needs ASP.NET addeed as a web service for example.

I have done repair on .net 2 but still i cant run aspx files.

please help on this. 

Looks as if IIS isn't shutting down to let aspnet_regiis do its installation work.

Can you try manually shutting down IIS?

CMD Prompt -> IISRESET /STOP

And then try installing it, then restart IIS (CMD -> IISRESET /START)

If IIS isn't shutting down properly, check the Event Viewer and see if there's any error messages in there that make any sense.

 

Check the event log for errors and look them up at eventid.net or Google.  Try the forums at www.iis.net for IIS support.

I tryed this.  the service stopped and started properly.

 

C:\Documents and Settings\chandra_p>IISRESET /STOP

Attempting stop...
Internet services successfully stopped

C:\Documents and Settings\chandra_p>IISRESET /START

Attempting start...
Internet services successfully started

 

  i checked the events log, no error reported.  I again did aspnet_regiis -i and it worked fine with no problems. 

C:\Documents and Settings\chandra_p>cd c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis -i
Start installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727).
........
Finished installing ASP.NET (2.0.50727).
 

Then i went to the MMC and went to the websites.  I right clicked the postinfo.html and selected browse and the files showed up fine on the localhost.  (this file is by default in the wwwroot folder).  i created a test.aspx file in c# express and right clicked and selected browse.  the browse opened but it looked like as if its gone in an endless loop.

 

test.aspx

Bottom line, none of the aspx files runs.  I have so far done all that is required to get my aspx files running but no success yet.  Do i have to change some config file or something?

Is the ASP.Net tab for the website properties set to use the 2.0.50727 framework?

yes it is. set to version 2.0.50727

please help.  this problem still exist.
