configurong website 'http://localhost/website' to asp.net 2.0 failed

[sghulyani]

When creating a new web-site and setting the location to "HTTP", i get the following error:-

You may need to manually configure this site for asp.net 2.0 in order for your site to run properly.

Can anybody help me out with this??

After selecting the proper asp.net version from iis, WHEN I RUN THE WEB-SITE BY PRESSING F5, again I get an error :

Unable to start debugging on web server. The server does not support debugging of ASP.NET or ATL Server applications.

Also, if i run the website without debugging(Ctrl+F5), the browser gives the error:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://localhost/WebSite12/Default.aspx
Line Number 1, Column 2:<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

Also, there is some error related to the METABASE file...

Please anyone help me out with this.

You may need to manually configure this site for asp.net 2.0 in order for your site to run properly.

Try this:

1) from cmd window, type inetmgr
2) Expand your Internet Information Services nodes -> <Machine Name>
3) click on "Web Service Extension" node
4) in the right handside window, select the current ASP.NET build installed on the machine (e.g. ASP.Net V2.0.50215)
5) click Allow button

Hey Hack, there is no such "Web Service Extension node" in the IIS.

If possible, do put the screenshot in your reply.
I would be very thankful to you...


I even tried re-installing IIS, but to no help.

Will re-installing VS 2005 do the trick?

Are you an admin of the box? If yes, you can try running this command
>aspnet_regiis -i -enable

[sghulyani]

hey, even this command is not working...
It gives an error that windows cannot find aspnet_regiis. Make sure you typed the name correctly....

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but I had a similar problem and this post helped me figure it out...sort of anyway. Here is how I resolved this issue.

I was missing the "ASP.NET v2.0.50215" entry in my Web Service Extensions and getting the same 404 error when trying to run .net 2.0 stuff on IIS 6.

The command "aspnet_regiis -i -enable" will put this entry into the web service extensions, BUT you have to run it from a command prompt, from inside the .net folder itself. So do this:

• Click Start > Run > Type "CMD" and hit Enter.
• At the command Prompt, type "CD C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727"
• Type "aspnet_regiis -i -enable" and hit Enter.
  NOTE: In my environment, Windows was my Windows install folder, yours may be WinNT or something other. Also, don't type in the " characters, but everything in between them.

After the above command finished, I had the proper entry in my Web Service Extensions and it was set to enable. ASPX pages are now working.

Hope this helps someone else out.

Could it be a 64 bit server vs 32 bit app problem? Check this page out.
