I moved my site from a Windows 2000 Server to a Windows 2003 Server. Host support is NO Help!! Now, one of my programs, Dundas ASPUpload won’t work. I get a “Server object error 'ASP 0178 : 80070005' Server.CreateObject Access Error†message. I have read all the forums, and have changed all the file permissions (that I know of) and still can’t get it to work. I am looking for someone to go on my server and get this thing going ASAP. I don’t think it will be a major deal, or take much time, but it obviously requires someone more Windows 2003 savvy than I am. If you can help, please PM or email me. Thanks
It's a server issue. Either the program needs to be installed on their end; or they need to set permissions on their end. 2003 is a pain in the butt.
IIS6 is a rewrite of IIS5 and uses very different security model. The first thing you want to check is if your server is running in IIS5 isolation mode. Go WebSites > Properties > Service and check if the checkbox "Run WWW Service in IIS 5.0 isolation mode" is checked. If not, try checking it and hit your app again. J.D.
You may also want to check with your host on this as well: If I query to see what os you're on; it says Linux: http://www.vegas4sale.net was running Apache on Linux when last queried at 23-Jan-2005 23:13:30 GMT Site Report Try out the Netcraft Toolbar! http://netcraft.com
The site I am having a problem with is www.goallpro.com It is on a dedicated Windows 2003 Server running IIS 6.
Well, that did something. It changed the thumbnails to red “Xâ€s now. That is what happened when I set it up on my old server before I had all the permissions set. Should I: a) Restart the server. b) Reset Permissions c) Both Thanks ~VegasMack
This looks like a permissions issue. I don't think you need to restart the server. By default your web site will be running under the NETWORK SERVICE account. Does this account have security permissions to read (and execute) the DLL file? These seem related to the problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315454 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q198432
This doesn' say much about what happens on the server. There are different levels of permissions - there are file permissions; there are COM permissions; there are privileges and user rights; Which ones you are talking about? There's no way I can describe much on a thread like this, but here's a couple of pointers that may help you to figure out your problem: * in IIS5 isolation mode (medium and high security), your COM objects run in the DLLHOST process. Try switching the security level in IIS control panel to low. If you app works after this, it's COM permissions that give you trouble. Make sure to switch back to whatever mode you had before the test * in IIS5 isolation mode IWAM_machinename user has to have permissions to your COM objects. Run the Component Services applet and check that this user is correctly registered (look for something that says IIS and out-of-process) * enable auditing on logins and see if IWAM_xxx or IUSR_xxx fail to login. * in IIS6 isolation mode check that the application pool user has appropriate permissions to the registry and the file system (default is Network Service). * unless you are an expert on Windows security, don't reset file permissions on the entire drive or registry. This worked in Win2K, but MS really screwed it up this time and your server may not even start if you do this. J.D.
Tried that riziko - No go yet, but that could have been part of the problem. I hate Windows 2003 Server!! Thanks for the input though.
J.D., You are AWESOME! Thank you SOOOO much for fixing my mess. I wish I had 1/10 of your skills on a Server! ~VegasMack
