IIS errors..I need HELP !

I am running IIS on WinXp Corp and I have a program that configured itself to have web pages availlable in IIS. In other words, teh program placed a variety of asp files into the IIS directory.
The purpose of this program is to remotely monitor conditions of equipment.

Anyways... it is running on a PC that is connected to my network wireless.

I have my firewall / router configure to send teh request to that particular machine.

When I connect to it either from another machine on the network or from a remote machine via the Internet, I do see my initial log in screen. I can log in and then it is supposed to show a frame page containing a header, left menu and a main page.

When I log in, it shows the header but the main page shows blank and the menu part gives me a 500 error. The properties of teh main page show "blank.asp".

I assume that my IIS is working correctly as I am able to connect but the data that shoud show in teh menu and main page are all jacked up.

I don't know how to troubleshoot this as I don't know anything about how asp works

ANy ideas on how I can go about finding out what is wrong? Any good strategies ?

Thanks !!

Turn off the 'Show friendly error messages' in Internet Explorer and post back what error message appears. We should be able to help you more then.

This is what the left "menu bar" shows instead of the menu :

Server Configuration Error

The server has encountered a configuration error attempting to process your request. The configuration parameter MD_CUSTOM_ERROR (6008) has an invalid value. Please contact the server administrator for assistance.

I suspect your program isn't installed properly.

And what's an XP Corp?

WinXP Corporate edition (pro)

Is that somehow different from a retail XP Professional?

Probably not but what do I know...

I am sensing some sarcasm here. But since there MIGHT be differences that I am not aware of I figured I post EXACTLY what I got


Anyways..can we get back to the problem that I am having ?

99% of all illegitmate installations of Windows XP Professional are "Corporate".

The main "Corporate ISO" (aka "The DevilsOwn", named after the cracker who released it to the public 2 months before it went retail) is simply a Windows XP Professional CD image, but comes supplied with a special Product-Key that means you don't need to activate the software.

The reason it's called "Corporate" is because companies use these Windows CD keys that don't require activiation for company-wide rollout... as you can imagine, running the activation wizard on every computer would be a nightmare.

Well, I know all that. My machine happens to be a hand me down from from a company with a VALID product key.
Since when is it commonly assumed that every corp. edition a hacked version ???
Teh reaosn why I stated that it is a coprorate edition was that it MIGHT make a difference in what IIS is installed (version etc).

So, again.. I am looking for help on my IIS problem, not help on determining if my corporate edition of XP is legal, because I know that already

[QUOTE=1337_d00d]99% of all illegitmate installations of Windows XP Professional are "Corporate". QUOTE]

Doesn't mean that 99% of corporate edition installs are illegitimate !!

No

"99% of all illegitimate installations are corp." does NOT imply that "99% of all corp installs are illegitimate"

Consider around 10 million computers running Windows (in general) illegitimatly, 99% of those would be Corp.

Consider around 100 million computers running Windows XP Professional Corp.

10 million of those computer's OS licenses would be illegitimate, thus 10% of all total installs.

My figures aren't exact, but are based on educated guestimations.

So..how about that error that I am getting ? Any idea on that ?

I don't recognize the error you're getting, and I wasn't sarcastic, I don't work in a corporate environment and never heard of XP Corporate, sorry.

I know it's about a year later but I'm posting this for other Googlers looking for a solution to this problem.

IIS: MD_CUSTOM_ERROR (6008) @ netnerds.net

This problem is caused by an invalid Custom Error. Under the Custom Errors tab in IIS, you'll see that there is a problematic URL. Set it to default and the site will work.

"XP Corporate Edition" is just slang in the warez community for the Volume-License edition of Windows XP Professional. The only difference is in the installer which asks for a "Volume License Key" (rather than "OEM Key" (for OEM installs) or "Key from the back of your CD envelope" (for Retail installs). After the VLK has been entered Windows doesn't require activation.
