The site is created under IIS as a Site (Not virtual Directory). Most of the threads I have found regarding this issue resort to "compiling" the application again via Visual Studio. The problem is that the website developer no longer exists, and all we have is the site as is on the server (No original VS files)
Additionally, the site was functional (meaning it worked normally), but it appears that after installing some MS security updates for W2000 Server recently, it just stopped working, although I am not sure this is accurate. The thing is that the only recent change on the server was those upgrades, and I found out the site was non-functional a few days later, so I cannot tell if the upgrades caused the problem cause I didnt see an immediate effect (I didnt look at the site till a couple of weeks later). Other ASP sites on the same server are running normally though.
I have tried deleting the site via IIS and recreating it, copying the files from the original directory to a new directory for the new site. I have also tried switching between ASP.NET versions 1 and 2 (It was originally running under version 2). That is what is configured now, but it does not work.
Finally, the default page works partially. It does load the background and layout, but no menus, and no content, and it takes a long time for the browser to show it has stopped loading info.
I am not knowledgeable of Windows 2000 server or IIS (basic stuff only), and am looking for a detailed description of how I can fix this (i.e. get the site to run as it was before!!).
One last note that I feel I should add just in case this affects matters. The DNS entries for the domain have
www.grupocomeca.com pointing to the correct IP, but have grupocomeca.com (without the "www") pointing to another IP on a previous server. I mention this because I have no idea if this may be the cause for this problem or not, although I would tend to think not. In any case, I have asked the DNS admins to change this entry to the same IP as
www........
