[RESOLVED] Localhost - problems with exentions

**dclamp** · Apr 2nd, 2007, 08:30 PM

i made a simple asp page, default.aspx. I saved it to localhost and ran it, i got the error "Server Application Unavailable"

I changed the extention to .asp, and it ran, but the script didnt work.

here is the script:

asp Code:

<head>
    <title>Test Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" method='post'>
    <div>
        <input type="text" name="myname" />
        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
    </div>
    </form>
    <%
        Dim myname
        myname = Request.Form("myname")
        Response.Write("Hello " & myname)
     %>
</body>
</html>

Moved

Where is your runat="server" in your form?

**StrangerInBeijing** · Apr 2nd, 2007, 09:39 PM

saved it to localhost

....
You just saved it, or created a virtual directory?
Sounds like you tried to create a page in text editor not using VS? Good idea, just make sure all is in place (.net, virtual directory, folder permission, etc)

Make sure your web.config looks something like this...

vb Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- 
    Note: As an alternative to hand editing this file you can use the 
    web admin tool to configure settings for your application. Use
    the Website->Asp.Net Configuration option in Visual Studio.
    A full list of settings and comments can be found in 
    machine.config.comments usually located in 
    \Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.x\Config 
-->
<configuration>
    <appSettings />
    <connectionStrings />
    <system.web>
        <!-- 
            Set compilation debug="true" to insert debugging 
            symbols into the compiled page. Because this 
            affects performance, set this value to true only 
            during development.
        -->
        <compilation debug="false" />
        <!--
            The <authentication> section enables configuration 
            of the security authentication mode used by 
            ASP.NET to identify an incoming user. 
        -->
        <authentication mode="Windows" />
        <!--
            The <customErrors> section enables configuration 
            of what to do if/when an unhandled error occurs 
            during the execution of a request. Specifically, 
            it enables developers to configure html error pages 
            to be displayed in place of a error stack trace.
 
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm">
            <error statusCode="403" redirect="NoAccess.htm" />
            <error statusCode="404" redirect="FileNotFound.htm" />
        </customErrors>
        -->
    </system.web>
    <system.webServer>
        <defaultDocument>
            <files>
                <clear />
                <add value="default.aspx" />
            </files>
        </defaultDocument>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

yeah it does

(off topic: one more post cout for me

)

**RobDog888** · Apr 3rd, 2007, 12:59 AM

Also, noticed you are missing some stuff on your page...

vb Code:

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

register .net in iis? (aspnet_regiis -i)
Make sure that Windows Authentication is enabled for the Virtual Directory in IIS. You will get this error if it is unchecked. To see if it's enabled, click on the Directory Security tab, click Edit under Access control, and place a check in the Intergrated Windows Security box. You MUST restart IIS for the changes to take effect!
Right-click on the virtual directory (or Default Web Site), go to properties and click on the Configuration button. Under the Mappings Tab, make sure .aspx and other .NET related extentions are listed. If not, I believe you'll have to run the aspnet_regiis.exe utility.

This shouldn't affect your problem, but it might. Under the Documents Tab, it seems you have to manually add index.aspx or default.aspx. Again, this probably isn't causing your problem UNLESS you are not supplying the page name in the address bar when navigating.

If you're using Windows 2003, make sure you've enabled ASP.NET in IIS Manager.

Lastly, make sure the ASPNET account has proper rights for the directory and it's subs.

i have windows (server) 2003, and the scripts work just fine.I have tried just about everything you said.. and nothing...

Seems like a pretty common problem: Google is your friend too

**RobDog888** · Apr 3rd, 2007, 02:44 AM

So then you had it correct

aspnet_regiis -i

Ps, He said Google is not his friend so he had to post the thread.

**mendhak** · Apr 3rd, 2007, 04:26 AM

Are you even using Visual Studio? How did you 'publish' in the first place?

**RobDog888** · Apr 3rd, 2007, 11:47 AM

He is using notepad I believe, hence the missing asp code on the page.

**dclamp** · Apr 3rd, 2007, 12:10 PM

so do i put "aspnet_regiis -i" in the ISAPI filter tab of my website?

**RobDog888** · Apr 3rd, 2007, 12:15 PM

No you need to run it from the commandline. The full path may be required though.

**dclamp** · Apr 3rd, 2007, 12:19 PM

what would be the full path?

**RobDog888** · Apr 3rd, 2007, 12:25 PM

The fool path would be everything including the root drive

XP Framework 1.1:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

XP/Vista 2.0:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

**dclamp** · Apr 3rd, 2007, 12:28 PM

so what do i enter into command line? do i need to change the directory to get there? then enter the line?

**RobDog888** · Apr 3rd, 2007, 12:32 PM

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis -i

from the run box and press enter. A dos window will popup showing the reregistering of iis.
