No permission to create new web project

[Codeless]

I am simply trying to create a new Web Project from the start page and it keeps telling me that I dont have web access. I have IIS installed and running on Win2K. I have tried to open up all permissions that I know of, and also share the directories for Web sharing and File Sharing. What am I missing?

Attached is the error I get.

Do you have IIS installed properly with Frontpage 2000 extensions? If so, did you install ASP.NET afterwards?

I have heard of people getting issues creating web projects when their system has not been set up like this.

I actually had to have them both installed by our "IT" guys, so Im not sure if Front Page extensions were installed. Is there a way to check this? I do know that ASP.NET was installed first and that IIS was installed afterwords, which I reregistered with aspnet_regiis.exe

Other Info: This machine is dual homed. It has a corporate network (Token Ring) and a local Ethernet, but both IP addresses are specified in IIS.

The easiest/fasted thing you can do is Uninstall the Framework, then re-install it. (not .NET only the Framework).

It only takes a couple of minutes. (20 megs)

If that doesnt work, let us know.

Ill have to let the "IT" people handle the reinstall which unfortunately may take much longer than 20min since I cant do it myself. (Im not bitter, just sarcastic).

However I think I have a hunch that they didnt install the ASP server components. Does that sound like it would cause the same issues? The FP server extensions seem to be there. Can the server extensions be there without the server components?

 

[Robby]

I think so.

You have to install IIS before you install Framework or ASP.NET.
Otherwise it wont work. Also for Win2k also make sure that you have the latest Sp which is 3 now and other updates, without new updates your IIS may fail to start if you install VS.NET.

Thanks for the inputs, but I still have the problem. I have:

-reinstalled .NET Framework while IIS is already loaded.
-set permissions to FULL on each directory in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebProject1
-created a share and given it an application name through IIS
-given the share full permissions (browse, write, execute)
-logged in as a local administrator
-made sure that server components & FP server extensions are fully loaded

and still no luck. I cant seem to get past this. Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Silly question... Is IIS running?

 

[Codeless]

Yep, its running.

I think Im going to uninstall/reinstall everything and start over. I must have done something somewhere to mess it up. Ill be much more careful this time.

By the way I love this site. It rocks! I have learned tons, and I will be back. (Hopefully to be able to help others).

Ive installed .net more than 10 times, a couple of PCs at home and a few at work.
The more times you do it, the better you get at the order of things.

Sorry we couldnt solve it for you.
