Failed to access IIS Meta database

[Guest]

Hi Everybody,

I created a webservice called “ser1†in the local host(http://Localhost/â€).
When I try to add the web reference to this web
service(http://localhost/ser1/service.asmx), I am getting the error message
“Failed to access IIS Meta databaseâ€. But the same web service created in the
file system is working fine. I am very new to the web service usage. How to
solve this problem? Please give me detailed suggestion on how to solve this?
Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
this is because The ASP.NET account may not have the priviledges neccessary
to access the meta database, which stores most of the settings for Internet
Information Services.

Try to do the following in order to solve the problem:
1- Copy the following to your clipboard:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
2- In Windows, click Start and Run.
3- Type cmd and click OK.
4- Right click in the window that opens, click Paste, and press Enter.
5- ASP.NET should begin registering with IIS. Once finished, type Exit and
press Enter.
6- Browse to the website for TimeClock Plus Web Edition.

Hello,

Another cause, maybe IIS have been installed AFTER .NET Framework. try that:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Hope this helps.
