Hi everyone,
I just installed IIS 5.o, but at http://localhost, I get "The specified module could not be found. " What's that mean? Can anyone give me instructions on how to setup everything (Including ISAPI)?
I feel dumb asking this when it should be easy
THANKS! |

Hi Richard,
This is Windows 2000 Professional, and yes I did reboot. |

Were you logged in as a local administrator when you installed IIS?
The only thing you should need to do to install IIS is go to Control Panel - Add Remove Programs - Add Remove Windows Components and select the IIS stuff off the list. IIS should be ready to run as soon as you restart after the installation.

I don't know what module it's looking for. Is there any more information in the error you get?
Again, when I installed IIS on W2K Pro there were no other steps necessary after installation. Perhaps there is some other missing stuff on your server, but I don't know what it may be.
Try uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling IIS.

I reinstalled it as directed, and still I get:
The specified module could not be found.
and If I view source:
<html><head><title>Error</title></head><body>The specified module could not be found. </body></html>
Can it not find asp.dll? |

I don't know what your problem may be. When does this error occur, when you start the computer? When you open IIS service manager? When you try to access a asp page?
Did you run the IIS lockdown tool, by any chance? If yes, it's easy to break your web server with that tool if you aren't careful.
Try putting a html page in your root web like "test.htm" and put just a minimum of html in the page. Try going to http://localhost/test.htm or whatever you name the page & see if it works. If yes, take a look at any default.htm, default.asp pages in the web root & see what's in them. Maybe the default.asp page is trying to load something that's not there.

Doug,
The error occurs when I go to http://localhost and the IIS service manager says it i running, and should be working. I didn't use the IIS Lockdown tool. I made a test.htm file and put it on my wwwRoot, and still same error. |

Are there any other unusual circumstances with your computer? Any other errors in other programs, etc? I have no idea what is wrong. There is a program filemon.exe that you can get from http://www.sysinternals.com which may help you identify what file is missing. Otherwise I guess I'd have to give the stock answer "reinstall".
In case there is a problem with your profile, why don't you set up a 2nd administrator user, then log in as that user and uninstall then reinstall IIS.
