EWA via IIS

[JonRoyle]

I am trying to get EWA working via IIS on port 80 as most other ports are locked down from work.

My IIS server currently hosts multiple sites so I filter on the hostname. So URL for EWA is tv.mydomain.com whose local path is C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\web. Permission is set to Read with 'script only' execute permissions.

The error I receive is:
[INDENT]Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'xmlns'.

Source Error:


Line 1: <?xml version="1.0"?>
Line 2: <configuration xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0">
Line 3: <system.web>
Line 4:
[/INDENT]

Can anyone help? Thanks

I think your missing the bottom half of that message... How is the server identifying itself?

it looks like an error you would get when you dont have the right version of .Net installed on the machine..

if you do have Version 2.0 installed on that IIS server.. then try registering it again...

aspnet_regiis -i

Good Luck!

Hopefully these help....configuration works for me....

Brilliant - that's worked I was scratching my head for hours.

I think the issue was that ASP.NET version 1.x was selected by default. I was not aware of the drop down to select v2.x for this web site.

PS 'Script Source Access' does not appear to be required.

Many thanks,

Jon

UncleJohnsBand - i have followed your screenshots trying to get my iis server working. but get the following error

any ideas ?

Code:

Server Error in '/GBWEB' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>


Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

TIA

Access EWA on the machine that is hosting GBPVR and you will see the real error you are recieiving.....this is the standard message you get when you are accessing EWA from a remote PC.

If the error message does not help....post it here and I will take a look.

Something is wrong with your IIS instalation from what I can tell.....I would remove IIS. Reboot. Re-install IIS. Then Reinstall .Net 2.0. and see what happens.
