Free ASP Web Server Engine...

[Kerem Gümrükcü]

Hi,

after some time of hard work it was impossible to bring my IIS back to life.
My complete OS (XP-Pro) is heavily damaged due a hardware crash. i had
to recover my harddsik from a heavily damaged one over to a new h-disk.
after that "transition" my xp was no more able to run the iis and some other
services like COM Server & Co, like DTC. thats hard for me, because i am
a programmer and i need to run asp & asp.net code on my machine.
i tried everthing, from xp repair to even machine sid exchange.

What i now need is a web server other than iis that can run asp & asp.net
code
and is also able to run isapi apps.

is there such a server available, in best case 4 free...?


Best Regards

For dev Web Matrix or VS.NET comes with its own engine (at least for
ASP.NET).

Anyway it's likely there is a big problem there and that other things would
perhaps not work either (if COM servers are not working, it's likely all
your DB access won't work anyway). I would make sure the machine is clean
first in which case running IIS should not cause any problem....

For example, I would do a clean install on a new location and would recover
just my personal files to avoid having damaged system files...

Hi Patrice,

the Problem is, that i cant just reinstall my Windows in order to work with
iis only.
And some other problems are, that there are too many applications to
reinstall, a
nd this is just for the amount too much. I need some other server capable of
iis.

But the Webmatrix Thing is a good idea...thank very much!


Best Regards

Keep in mind that the server included with Web Matrix (and also VS2005)
cannot serve pages outside the local machine. It is only for
development.

Glad it helped. I wouldn't want to insist too much but IMO you'll have
anyway to reinstall : if your dev machine is "damaged" you'll keep running
into random problems one day or the other. I would really get rid of a
corrupted installation...

Good luck.

Why don't you just wipe the drive and re-install Windows?

Otherwise, see if the following helps:
