Problem running my ASP.Net program...Please help.?

Question

I have a small ASP.Net application that is troubling me a little bit. Whenever I try to run my program, it gives the error saying that:

"The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request."

Can anyone please help me in this regard? I really need help. Please answer me ONLY if you are sure about this. Do not give any links or KB websites. Please I am really in need for help.

Answer 1

Try restarting IIS, try making sure that the virtual directory is configured as an application, and not just a directory

Answer 2

I used to get this page whenever the IIS is not running well. perhaps you should try finding out if the IIS is running correctly.

Answer 3

Well Mr. Rated R you first need to find out the exact error. See if the error page provides instructions on how to enable debugging. If these are present then follow them and enable debugging messages. This is usually done by adding a line in "web.config".  This will tell you exactly what the error is.

If you do not see any such instructions then the situation is complicated. You need to open event viewer (Start > Run: eventvwr) and look inside the application and system logs. There might be entries generated by "ASP.NET 2.x.xxxx". Note the Event ID and search online. You will _HAVE_ to go through the KB websites.
