Hi

I have installed Sitefinity Std Edition on XP/IIS 5.1/SQL server 2005. When I go to http://localhost/telerik/Sitefinity3.2/ I get the following error message.

Server Application Unavailable

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.

I ahve configured the IIS (page 285)and db (page 265) as per the User manual. Am i missing something else here. Pls help.

TIA

Hi Femy,

Please, make sure of the following:
1. You have granted full access to the ASPNET worker process and the account running it has read/write permissions over Sitefinity directory.
2. You have installed .NET Framework v2.x on your machine. Also, Project Manager should set as ASP.NET 2.0 web application. To check this, follow the instructions below:

Run IIS.
Right-click Sitefinity3.x virtual folder and select Properties.
Click the ASP.NET tab.
In the ASP.NET version field, 2.0.50727 should be selected.

    3. .NET Framework is properly registered in the IIS. For example installing IIS after the .NET Framework can cause problems and you need to run the following in the Command Prompt:

    (cmd.exe)
    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis –i.

Do let us know how it goes.

Sincerely yours,

Hello Roberto,

Most probably your Microsoft .NET Framework is not registered correctly. In this case you need to register the .NET Framework with the Microsoft IIS web server. To do so, follow the steps below:
   1. Click Start, and then click Run.
   2. Type cmd, and then click OK.
   3. At the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
       "\WindowsFolder\Microsoft.NET\Framework\VersionNumber\aspnet_regiis.exe" -i

Note: Replace WindowsFolder with the name of the directory where the operating system is installed. Replace VersionNumber with the .NET Framework version installed on your computer.

Once you have completed this process, you should be able to run your application without any problems.

Do let us know how it goes.
