can't run webapps

[Kevin]

I returned from VC6.0 work to webapp work today and fo
some reason I can't run my webapps anymore.

Here is what is happening:
I use an F5 to run and debug. I get an error
window "Unable to start debugging on the web server.
Server side-error occurred on sending debug HTTP
request." It suggests I try a debug->"start without
debugging".
When I try debug->"start without debugging", the
browser window reads, "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.
Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause
of this specific request failure can be found in the
system event log of the web server. Please review this
log entry to discover what caused this error to occur."
Where is that log file? What is its name?
If I trying to type in http:\\localhost\sitename
without giving the .aspx file, I receive this in the
browser window, "You are not authorized to view this page
You might not have permission to view this directory or
page using the credentials you supplied. HTTP Error 403 -
Forbidden Internet Explorer"

Any ideas where I should start?

Kevin, once you check the logs (see my response to your other post), post
the error here and we can help you out.

If you've changed your IIS install or .Net install you might need to fix
your registration settings. Here's the tool you need to do that.

Around the time frame that I try to browse to my app, I
only have an informational message under the system
folder:
The WMI Performance Adapter service entered the stopped
state.

Anything going on in the Application log at that time? Did you try
aspnet_regiis?

 

[Kevin]

No, there isn't anything in the application log either.

Do you mean using aspnet_regiis to reinstall asp.net?
I use -lv and -lk to verify that I only have one version
running.
