Author HELP!!!! Fresh install of XP Pro but IIS 5.1 won't run.

Hello All,

IIS used to work fine but then I rebuilt my machine with XP Pro (2002). I
thought some setting were altered by installing Baseline Security Analyser or
perhaps the IIS lockdown tool. Today I've given up, and reinstalled XP Pro
(2002). I then installed IIS and all the sub-components. I can do a iisreset
/restart and ping localhost but that's it. When I nav to //localhost or
/localhost/iishelp I get the following error message:

The page cannot be displayed
HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer

Like I say the machine has just been rebuilt from scratch.

Please help!!!!!!!!! I'm loosing it here!!!!

Thanks in advance,
Noodle

That means IIS *is* running. Turn off friendly error messages in IE.

Thanks for the quick reply Tom. I did what you said but now I get the
following error message:

Server Error
The following error occurred:
[code=CANT_CONNECT_LOOPBACK] Cannot connect due to potential loopback
problems

Do you know what to do next?

Many thanks in advance,
Noodle

No, but a Google search on that error message brings back lots of hits ...

I found something on this error, it may help you, try the following:

1. In Internet Explorer, choose Tools->Internet Options.

2. Click the Connections tab.

3. Click the LAN Settings button.

4. Uncheck the "Automatically detect settings" box, click OK and then click
OK.

5. Close browser, reopen, retest local webpages.

Hope this helps!

Thank you,

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

That's all it was! I then needed to get the correct version of ASP
running with the aspnet_regiis.exe -i command, but I had already been
made aware of that pitfall. I'm so pleased that this is all working
now. Thanks so much.

Best regards,
Noodle
