IIS 5.1 ASP.NET Framework 2.0 : local host not serving ASPX pages

Hello,
I've recently reinstalled IIS on my machine. Followed by an install of the
aspnet framework 2.0.

My localhost will not server aspx pages from the virtual directories created.

A simple test ASP page is served. ASPNET_REGIIS has been run.

I've been all over the internet and keep coming up empty.

Any ideas of what might be wrong? Or even where to get more information??

Thanks much,
Fritz Skinner

What do you mean by "will not serve ASPX pages"? What exactly are you seeing
in your browser?

Cheers
Ken

Thanks for the response, Ken.

IE 7 displays the generic : Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.

FF 1.0.7 displays this message: The connection to localhost has terminated
unexpectedly. Some data may have transferred.

Re: IIS 5.1 ASP.NET Framework 2.0 : local host not serving ASPX pa

a) Check the Windows Event Log to see if aspnet_wp.exe is crashing or
similar

b) the error you are seeing in IE is just a generic error. Please disable
"Show Friendly HTTP Errors" in the advanced options, and reload the page. Do
you see "Can not find server or DNS error" now? Or some HTTP status code
(e.g. 403, 404 etc)

Cheers
Ken

You could also use WFetch and post the response here.

Re: IIS 5.1 ASP.NET Framework 2.0 : local host not serving ASPX pa

Thanks for the quick responses, guy.

WFetch was just what the doctor ordered to diagnose the problem.

The error was this:
Failed to negotiate secure connection with localhost.

The re-install had wiped out IIS and to enable a secure connection to the
website a server certificate was required.

After adding the server cert, all is working as expected.

Thanks much for you help.
