Hi,
I am facing the following problem when trying to create a new asp.net
application.

Microsoft .net cannot create or open the application because no web server was detected at this URL http://localhost/webapplication1. make sure that the web server is installed and running.

The IIS is running on the machine I have checked it but there is one
more error when I click on the services and application in the computer management of administrative tools in control panel

        snap in failed to initialize
        name :microsoft sql enterprize manager
        clsid = {00100100-1816-11d0-8EF5-00AA0062C58F}

I had installed microsoft SQL server 2000 few days before and create asp.net application successfully but after uninstalling it and trying it after so many days i am not able to create an asp.net application.
please post any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Hi Manish,

You can try following

1. Make sure that the link http://localhost is running properly. I mean your web server is responding irrespective of type of application
You can check this by simply deploying an HTML Page(index.html / default.html) and calling the link from the browser.

2. If your server is responding, then the problem may be lying in the asp.net configuration. For this , run <windir>\microsift.net\framework\<version dir>\aspnet_regiis.exe from .Net Command prompt

3. If Step 1 fails then re-run the IIS set up from control panel\add remove programs\windows set up

4. Go back to step 1.

5. It seems that MMC file for IIS Admin is corrupt. Copy it from some other machine to the appropriate folder.

6. If MMC still gives error then check or re configure your windows installation.

Hi Manish,

Am Chandra Mohan, i think this might be due to two reasons.

 1. As Per Anubhav Kumar said u can do, after checking ur IIS's Application Configuration Setting under the Application Mappings Tab (check the list whether all ur dotnet file extensions are there like .aspx,.ascx,.asmx,.resx,...etc)if thay are not in the list then u try to run aspnet_regiis.exe from ur Command prompt.After running that check the list u can find all the extensions. u don't need to install ur whole windows

 2. Due to virus also these kind of this happen, for me the same kind of problem arise after that i had identified and removed the virus.

with thanks & regards
