ASP site not available on IIS 6.0 (Cannot find server or DNS error) P: n/a Laurence Neville I have just set up an ASP-based site to a new Windows 2003 SP1 server with IIS 6.0. Before now the site has run under IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000. Every time an ASP page is opened, IE shows the error: "Cannot find server https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/915039 or DNS Error". All static page types open fine (HTM, GIF etc) The confusing thing is - I have allowed Active Server Pages under Web Service Extensions in the IIS manager. No other extensions are allowed, other than ASP.NET. I have tried accessing the site from the server itself, from another machine on the LAN. I have tried using the IP address, server name and localhost https://bytes.com/topic/asp-classic/answers/165671-asp-site-not-available-iis-6-0-cannot-find-server-dns-error in the URL. I have also removed the Virtual Directory the site lives in. None of these changes made any difference. Oh yes, I have also tried rebooting! What else is there to look at??

Using IIS, have 2 virtual websites. Default website disabled Admin website disabled "Main site" Port 80 = works fine "WebFOCUS"Port 82 = error below: Cannot find server or DNS Error Using 'netstat cannot find -an |more' I can see the following: TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP 0.0.0.0:82 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING I don't get it why I can see port 80, but not 82. Tried changing port number to 83, 84, etc... no luck. If I create a new virtual website and point to some random port, 882, all is fine, but I don't want to move all my webaliases to the new site.... Any ideas? #1 cannot find server phillydog, Jan 7, 2004 jayR Senior member Joined: Apr 25, 2000 Messages: 644 Likes Received: 0 Where are you seeing "Cannot find server or DNS Error"? Server side or client? Hard to understand why it woud happen on the client. Usually I just get the usuall "Page cannot be displayed". If it is in server logs then you are probable trying to log client host names (instead of just the IP address) and you haven't configured it to point to a dns server. It is trying to do a reverse dns lookup on the IP address to find the name. But if you haven't pointed it to a DNS server it will error out. Just guessing. I am not an IIS guru, though I once fixed a problem that sounds the same on a Lotus Notes server. #2 jayR, Jan 7, 2004 phillydog Senior member Joined: Dec 19, 2001 Messages: 472 Likes Received: 0 Turns out I had an ISAPI filter that was trying to be loaded, but got errors, and crapped out IIS... not sure how it got loaded, but once removed, all seemed fine. #3 phillydog, Jan 20, 2004 (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
