Server application unavailable

[sdlangers]

Hi,

 

My users .net web apps were working fine, until he messed something up with the permissions.

 

now i get the following error on all asp.net apps

 

Server Application Unavailable

The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

 

when i check the app log - the following error appears

 

Event Type: Error

Event Source: ASP.NET 1.1.4322.0

Event Category: None

Event ID: 1088

Date: 11/9/2003

Time: 9:39:47 PM

User: N/A

Computer: ACE1

Description:

Failed to execute request because the App-Domain could not be created. Error: 0x80070005 Access is denied.

 

I've tried reinstalling .net, but it still comes up. One thing i do notice is that in active directory users, the ASPNET user has a red X beside the icon.

 

I've also done searches on the error message and tried several suggestions, but none work. IIS is definitely working, cos regular ASP pages are working.

 

Any ideas? please help!!!

 

thanks!

Check the Task Manager, if the ASP Worker Process is not running the run this in the command window...

 

regiis.exe /i

 

Also check if the virtual directory still exists and that ASPNET has permissions

Hi Robby,

 

Thanks for the reply. I managed to figure it out after hours of reading. Learnt a lot of new stuff though...

 

the problem was the ASPNET user somehow went out of synch with the permissions on the inetpub directories.

 

I had to go to the config file in

 

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFIG\machine.config

 

and change the username under ProcessModel to SYSTEM

 

this fixed the problem

 

then i had to make sure the ASPNET user had read/execute permissions under all of my web app folders.

 

hope this helps someone else.
