I'm sure this has been covered before but I have a bit of a problem.

I've created on my development machine an asp.net site. The pages I want
I've copied to the old asp site, and dumped into the appropriate folder. I
also copied the contents of the bin folder and the web.config file. This
worked fine.

I then tried to copy to the production machine and those pages come up with
a "Server Application Unavailable" which from my reading is supposed to
indicate a problem with the ASPNET account. I've given Modify permission to
that account and don't know what else to do.

The server is a Windows 2000 Server, with .Net 1.1 installed.

Any help is appreciated.... oh yeah, I took a look at machine.config as
suggested in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q315158

Thanks

Check the event log. When I had this problem the event log was quite
clear that there was a problem with an account (the reason was that
the machine had been taken out of a domain, and so the account had
become unavailable. I tried (for about 5 minutes) to create an account
with the right permissions & rights, but then took the cowards' way
out - I uninstalled the .NET framework, and allowed windows update to
reinstall it. Everything immediately started working again...

Thanks pj, actually I did look in the event log and saw that it feels that
the username/password are invalid.

"aspnet_wp.exe could not be launched becuase the username and/or password
supplied in the processModel section of the config file are invalid."

I should have mentioned that in the original post.

There are no entries in the machine.config processModel except that
username=[user]

I'd hate to do a re-install, but would if necessary.

Thanks

yeah, I know. there was a time when I was loath to do things like that
- it smacked of ignorance (well, it clearly is...), and I would spend
an hour or two figuring out the exact change that was needed to fix
it. These days though, I don't find that nitty gritty stuff so much
fun. I don't know how to fix the account, and I don't really want
to...but I know the .net framework installer knows how to do it..

it doesn't take long - 5 min to uninstall, 5 min to install. about 45
min installing the service pack to the framework (because of the bugs
in it), then the security patch for the service pack (because of the
bugs in that), and then the security patch for the security patch....

Well, I'll be.

Re-installing worked. Although, I did have to reboot -- which I didn't want
to do.

Thanks for the help

P.S. If anyone knows a better resolution I'm all ears.
