Question XPHome Upgraded to XPPro. IIS Does not return pages.
lo all,
Just got a new laptop with XP home installed. Upgraded it to XP PRO (SP2) and installed IIS5.1.
IIS Admin shows the default site running but browsing the site does not work.
On the IE status bar the message starts Web Site Found...but then after a long period of watching that wonderful status bar counting up...it times out.
Trying http://localhost/iishelp has the same effect and so using the loopback adapter 127.0.0.1 or the IP address on the LAN.
Have deinstalled/reinstalled several times to no avail....as well as disconnecting from the n/w, adding my own simpy html website, etc.
Just wondering if anyone out there has seen this before....if there is a way to get this to work...and if I'm beating myself up for nothing.
My next move if there is no solution forthcoming is reformatting and installing XP PRO from scratch, I know that works but would rather not do that yet...
Cheers,
Jazzy Pants

If you're running antivirus script blocking try turning it off while testing. Likewise try turning off any firewall software while testing (unless your computer is on broadband with no other protection).

Check in Services that the IIS service is running.

Were you the administrator user when you installed IIS?

Doug, thx 4 the response.

Yes, the user running when IIS was Installed is a Computer Administrator.
The WWW Publishing and IIS Admin services are both running under the localsystem account context.
The default web site is running, when it's stopped the timeout come through instantly, I'm waiting for the IIS timeout period (900 secs) before the error appears!
FYI - I've added a virtual directory called Test pointing to a physical file directory different to the WWWRoot path (C:\Test) with a very simply web page (<HTML>Hello World</HTML>), set it as the default web page (removing all others)
and attempted to browse to this...to no avail...
I've even added a static entry for localhost to 127.0.0.1 in my hosts file...but I don't think it's a DNS issue as pinging either works fine.

On the Virus/Firewall front, I'm running McAfee's latest Security Center (centre to us brits) and the firewall for XP Pro SP2 for which I've opened ports 80,443 and 8080 (there you are hackers )
Disabling all virus scanners & firewalls has no effect.

Jazzy

Search this forum and the devshed IIS forum, there is a command line tool that resets the IIS metabase settings, perhaps that would help.

Make sure .asp files are mapped to the asp.dll filter.

Make sure the file is marked as script executable. If you're running NTFS, turn off "simple file sharing" and double-check the permission settings on your website files.

Unhappy
Unfortunately not Doug. Did the IIS Reset, checked the ASP settings were mapped.

Remember I'm even testing the most basic of web sites (raw html) with no asp.
Still no joy, IIS just isn't a happy bunny

I'm starting to back up my very quickly acrued 52GB off to another machine ready for a full rebuild, cos I've searched hi&low on different forae without joy.

Your responses were appreciated anyway.

Jazzy

You should be able to uninstall and reinstall IIS without affecting the rest of the OS, if that's the route you want to take. Did you say you're using XP Home? If so that's your problem. IIS is not supported on XP Home.

Doug,
No I've upgraded from XP Home to Pro.
I have also tried uninistalling/reinstalling IIS several times to no avail.
I've even re-run the upgrade to XP Pro but still no joy

Anyway, I'm guessing I'm screwed so today is the big day when I reinstall straight to XP Pro.

Thx for trying.

Jazzy

My thought for today - Microsoft don't always get it right, but if they did, I'd be out of a job!

Good luck with the reinstall. I have only upgraded one Home to Pro, and had no problems with IIS on that box. I've never had problems on many XP Pro computers. Somewhere in your computer there is probably a tiny little problem struggling to get out, the real problem is finding it
