[dba-VB] OT: ASP.net not working

Actually I did that based on a hint from Martin.  What ended up fixing it
was the following run in a dos box:
aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Googling that shows me that the program "registers" ASP.Net with IIS
(whatever THAT may mean).  Apparently MS has seen this problem before and
built a utility to fix everything up.

  John,

  Web Matrix includes it's own web server - like the old Personal Web
Server.  If it works on the web matrix port, it should work on an IIS
machine with .Net properly configured.  One not about the web matrix web
server, I haven't been able to get it to use my include files, and
occasionally have problems with css.

  I don't know why th aspx extentions would not have installed correct when
you installed either the .Net framework or VS.Net, but here is what you
should be looking to fix it:

  Open IIS Administration Console
  Right Click on the machine/name and select properties
  In the Master Properties section click on Edit
  On the Home Directory tab click Configuration
   - You should now see a dialog with a list of file extentions and the
associatied library that interprets the files.

  Look in the list for the ASPX extention.  If it is not there you can add
it:
  Click on Add
  for the executable you will need to browse to a file similar to
  -- C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll
  and add aspx as the extention

  You shouldn't have to restart IIS, but it may be a good idea anyway.

  Well, I got it running by using Microsoft ASP.net Web Matrix Server from
the
  MS Web Matrix.  However I used a brand new web page also created by Web
  Matrix.  The url is: http://localhost:8080/NewFile.aspx .

  Is web matrix setting up it's own IIS. or is it using IIS from Windows?
  This :8080 is not specified anywhere else, i.e., I can just got
  localhost/MyWebPg.aspx (or htlm) and get it to run.

  The .net functionality STILL isn't working from within Visual Studio.net
nor
  directly if referenced as above.

  What is going on here?  HELP.

  No, Asp.net is not listed.  If I correctly installed it shouldn't the
  installation have set this up?  Nothing I have read so far has ever taken
me
  to this dialog.

  Open IIS;right-click IIS name (probably name of your computer)-click
  Properties.  In the Master Properties frame, click Edit.  Then click the
  ISAPI tab.  Is ASP.NET listed in the filter list?
