We are running IIS 6 and Plesk on our server.  When we try go to .aspx pages nothing loads up, htm pages load fine.  Cannot find any errors in the event logs on why it would not work.

What error are you getting - 404 or 500?

Try having a look at IIS to see what DLL is associated with aspx files. Also, try creating an application on the website you're trying to access.

If you don't have the web site configured as a web application is IIS it won't execute any server side code.  On the 'Home Directory' tab in IIS properties for the web site you have to be sure it's a web application with an application pool assigned.

This is assuming you've installed .NET on the server.

Check your IIS manager and make sure that the application extensions are enabled for executing these.
If you are still have a problem with it marked enabled do the the Add/Remove Programs in Control panel and then check out the options that were installed with IIS ... even though it shows in the Extentions tab of the IIS Manager it might not be enabled through the installation.

When I try to go to an aspx page, I do not get an error.  I just get the page saying "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

If I go to any other page it loads, or if I try go to webpage that doesn't exist then I get the 404 error.

.Net 3.5 has been installed.  An application pool is assigned, also tried using a brand new application pool, and same result.

Disable Friendly HTTP errors in IE (from Internet Options), and try again. That should give you the error description. I suspect this to be an application error and nothing more.

 

by: newgentechnologiesPosted on 2009-08-31 at 10:40:40ID: 25224711

Friendly HTTP errors was already disabled.  It seems like aspx pages are not going to IIS, but doesn't make a lot of sense.

 

by: cj_1969Posted on 2009-08-31 at 11:02:40ID: 25224888

Check your site where the pages are.
Check the version of asp that is enabled for that site.
If youhave another version of .Net installed try selecting that for this site (or at least the directory/application where these pages reside).

The asp.net version is 2.0.50.727, tried 1.14322 and got the same problem

 

by: cj_1969Posted on 2009-08-31 at 12:09:42ID: 25225450

did you check the IIS install options and verify that aspx (.NET) is installed?

 

by: _Stilgar_Posted on 2009-08-31 at 13:12:47ID: 25226022

See my comment above about checking to see what ASPX files are associated with in IIS. Also, try and create an application on your website through IIS.
