aspx_beginners thread: Cannot view aspx pages


Message #1 by joeyc@h... on Mon, 10 Jun 2002 06:09:42
I'm new to ASP.NET and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here because I 
followed explicit instructions from a wrox book, but got an outcome not 
listed in the troubleshooting section. Hopefully someone can help.

For some reason I cannot view aspx pages on my server from any other 
computer accessing it from the web. My server runs Windows 2000, with the 
most updated service pack (sp2) and IIS 5.0. After installing MDAC 2.7, I 
installed the ASP.NET SDK package which includes all the components 
needed. I uploaded a test aspx page on into my Inetpub/wwwroot folder. 
When access it from the internet I get the following error:

> Server Application Unavailable
>
> The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is 
> currently unavailable.  Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web 
> browser to retry your request. 
> 
> Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this 
> specific request failure can be found in the system event log of the web 
> server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error 
> to occur. 


When I look the the event viewer, this is the error listed:

> Source: ASP.NET 1.0.3705.0
> aspnet_wp.exe could not be started. HRESULT for the failure 80004005.

I am not sure what do to because I am sure the test page that I wrote is 
valid (its very simple). Please help!

In addition to the error i mentioned above in the event viewer, there was 
also another one which occurs whenever an aspx page is requested from my 
server. In other words, two errors (the one I am about to show and the one 
previously mentioned in the last message) occur whenever as aspx page is 
called. This is the description given by the application log in the event 
viewer for the error:

> aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched because the username and/or password
> supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid

I am unsure what this means and would appreciate any help. Thanks.
