iis_applications thread: Serious/wierd IIS Problem - some expert advice needed


Message #1 by "TO_raptor" <TO_raptor@h...> on Fri, 1 Feb 2002 21:55:37
Hello,

Here the background.

I have an IIS (ASP) application that calls a COM DLL which is registered 
on the same server to call database queries.

I also have the same COM DLL registered on this server as a COM+ 
application, and the proxy files as installed on a client to enable a VB 
client to access the same DLL functions.

So the same DLL has been registered (regsvr32.dll) and also configured as 
a COM+ application on the same machine.

Problem:
The VB application (configured to call COM+ DLL) is working fine but the 
web version (ASP pages) using IE fail to open. Restarting IIS will restore 
the web version for about a few minutes and then the asp files again stop 
working (and HTTP 500 error is reported).

Please advise whether or not my first assumption of putting the same DLL 
in either forms is the cause of the problem.

If yes then will changing merely the name of one of the DLL and then 
installing it, help. Or is it that registering the DLL as well as making 
it a COM+ application cause of the problem.

In any case, please advise on how to remedy this situation.

I appreciate any thought given towards this. Thank you very much.

T.O.
