Hi,

BACKGROUND:
WinXP Pro SP1, IIS5.1 all patches applied.
VS.2003, NET 1.1

I got screwed over by Microsofts new "virus"
W32.PissOffVSDevelopersAsOftenAsPossible today.
I had my web app open in the morning, did a bit of work, tested it and then
closed VS.
I worked on another project not even touching IIS or .NET, just writing and
testing some SQL Server SPs.

I reopen the .NET web project and BBBBOOOMM
W32.PissOffVSDevelopersAsOftenAsPossible strikes.
It can't open the web project because the URL and physical locations that
are mapped aren't the same.
You god damn mother-f**king piece of f**king s***e!!! They are the same I
haven't changed them!!!!

Any-how I deleted the solution and project file (and all other related
files, i.e. .suo etc...)
My virtual directory which is setup under Default Web site points to my
development directory for
the project. I try to create a new ASP.NET Web app entering the locations as
http://localhost/myProj
and now it says:
The web server reported the following error when attempting to create or
open the web project
located at the following URL: 'http//localhost/myProj', 'The HTTP
redirect request failed'

I've tried restarting IIS, rebooting the machine, I've tried doing what it
says in KB article KB320265
and still it doesn't work!!!

I am at my wits end. I need to do a quick release with a fix for a client
and I can't now because
VS is messing me about.

Anybody, please, I'm down on my knees and begging - Microsoft people please
answer......

Frustrated beyond normal human endurance,
Regards,
Peter
 
I've had a similar problem in my past.

Please try this:

1) Uninstall IIS
2) Install IIS
3) Run regsvr32 c:\winnt\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_isapi.dll
(v1.1.4322 or whatever your version is)

Hope this helps.
 
worst case if you still have your files --

just copy the files locally and then move them to the web server manually
 
sorry -- see you tried that

did you create a directory called myProj under Inetpub/wwwroot?
 
Hi,

Okay.
I just tried doing an aspnet_iisreg -i to ensure that nothing had got
stuffed up there.

I then create a new web project at http://localhost/someproj.
As a result a directory called "someproj" is created
under inetpub/wwwroot. I add all my original projects code files and single
ASPX
page into the project, which promptly copies them all to the
inetpub/wwwroot/someproj
directory.

All seems to be going okay, apart from the fact that I am having a gun held
against
my head telling me to put the files under inetpub/wwwroot, otherwise in
general it will
not work at all.
I run the app start and try to login, however when I click [ok] the server
does not
appear to receive the request, instead I get a file not found error, which
is a load of bollocks.

The only interesting things about this site is that
a) *.* is mapped to the ASP.NET DLL so that the ISAPI filter mimicing works
for files like JPG etc..
and which worked the other day before it blew up and told me it couldn't
open the project.

b) Parent paths are enabled.

I have also set up for the project windows integrated authentication and
allow ASP.NET debugging.
So there is no reason why the debugging should not work.

This just seems to be one disaster after another at the minute.
And it could not have come at a worse time.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Peter Row
