iis is driving me crazy....

[Tipnmo101]

i cannot get iis to work properly... i get this message when trying to start a page "Unexpected error 0x8ffe2740 occurred".... i have pretty much given up unless some one out there knows how to fix this problem.... so what is a good program that will work in xp to replace iis....
thx

Apache is one of the best replacements out there, sorry I cant help with the problem. Its probably better this way 😉

Buddy, some advice for you, REINSTALL IIS. This has happenned to me in the past. IIS is like this. Its just like this.

I'd have to agree with n0c, that apache would be the way to go. The best scenario would be to use apache for *nix, but even the win32 version is better than IIS.

Just to play devil's advocate here.

Go to the command line and enter netstat -an >c:\netstat.txt
Then go into the root of C and look at the file netstat.txt

Do you see anything listening on port 80? I bet you do.

You can either find out what's using port 80 and disable it, or you can configure IIS to use a non standard port (say 8080 for example). Either way, I suspect your problem might go away.....

If there is something else listening on 80, it will affect apache too. Check it out. If you get IIS working, dont forget all the patches/updates!

I cant wait. 😉

EDIT: And my post wasnt meant to be anything bad, just a request. IIS is fine (for many people) if you secure it properly, or atleast apply security patches. I have no problems with people using IIS, Im just tired of seeing Code Red alarms 😉
