Hello

I installed IIS on my Windows XP Professional desktop and it's not functioning. When I type http://localhost/aspnet_client/system_web/1_1_4322/SmartNav.htm it says the Page cannot be displayed. I'm able to run inetmgr

Can someone tell me what is wrong

Thanks

Hello Ken:

I ran aspnet_regiis.exe -i. For some reason noneof the .asp seem to be registered with IIS, as the icons in Windows Explorer are not associated.

In inetmgr, I can see the aspnet_client virtual directory. When I type: http://localhost/aspnet_client/system_web/1_1_4322/SmartNav.htm IE still tells me the Page cannot be displayed.

Hi Ken

I can see the directory structure aspnet_client/system_web/1_1_4322/ in IIS Manager. Within that directory structure I can see SmartNav.htm listed. Something funny happened yestereday. When I right clicked on SmartNav.htm and chose 'Browse', IIS Manager opened a browser window and allowed me to browse that page. This is no longer happening today

I placed SmartNav.htm under c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ and typed http://localhost/SmartNav.htm. I'm still getting the same error message: Page cannot be displayed. The error message at the bottom of the page is "HTTP 500 - Internal server error"

I'm not using a proxy server. I'm connected directly to the Internet using a cable connection. I'm behind a Personal Firewall - Sygate

Thanks

Did you install the .Net Framework? If you installed it before you installed
IIS, you will need to run:
c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
to register the ASP.Net files with IIS

If you open the IIS MMC Snapin, can you see the aspnet_client virtual
directory listed?

Cheers
Ken

Hi

- Icon should not change, as you have no application associated to "open"
the pages.
- In IIS Manager, please expand the aspnet_client virtual directory. Do you
see system_web underneath that? and then do you see 1_1_4322? and then do
you see SmartNav.htm listed?
- what happens if you create a simple .htm page and place it into
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\? Can you load it by doing http://localhost/myPage.htm?


"Page can not be displayed" is a generic error message. You need to scroll
down a bit further to see the real error message. If you see 'Cannot find
server or DNS error', then the server could not be contacted at all. Perhaps
you are using a proxy server for HTTP access, in which case you need to
exclude http://localhost from the proxy server, because the proxy server has
no idea where "localhost" is (well, the proxy server probably thinks that it
is localhost!).

How can I fix this

Thanks

Have you tried disabling the firewall to test?

Hi Jeff

I've disabled the firewall and tested. I'm still getting the same error: "[code=CANT_CONNECT_LOOPBACK] Cannot connect due to potential loopback problems"

Thanks
