Multiple ASP.NET websites in IIS6

I have one ASP.NET website that continues to work fine, but I'm trying to add a second referenced with a different host header. Now, it's not serving up the first website, so the host header change is fine. It's just coming back with generic "The page cannot be displayed" error in the browser when trying to hit any .aspx page. Plain .html files serve up fine. Every time an .aspx page is hit, an entry is made in the Application event log: "Setup Error: Failed to load resources from resource file. Please check your Setup."

From everything I've found on this error, it sounds like a more general ASP.NET error. What's confusing is that the two websites are both ASP.NET, configured identically, one works and one doesn't. I've seen references to a problem with deep recusion and stack overflows, but this new site is pretty vanilla at this point, nothing should cause anything like that.

I'm a programmer, not a sysadmin, and I never became comfortable with IIS. Any help would be much appreciated.

Win2k3, IIS6, .NET 1.1

Well this was a truly wasted morning. This was the move out to the live server for customer demo, so the database connection string got set to the live database, which doesn't exist yet for this website. Made it use the old development connection and everything's peachy.

Sorry for wasting the time of anyone who read this. Maybe I'll get lucky and help someone searching.

Been there, done that

Yeah, the problem is once I came to that, it felt kind of familliar, like I think this happened when I set up the first website last June. Ugh...
