I am getting a server error when I try to create a Web Project from
Visual Studio 2003.

The error I get is:

The Web server reported the following error when attempting to create or
open the Web project located at the following URL:
'http://colombia720/test'. 'HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error'.
---------------------------
OK Help
---------------------------
whether C# or VB.net

Existing projects are OK as well as new pojects created from Web Matrix

The VS IDE is only useful with existing projects and those created by
Web Matrix

Thanks
 
Your frontpage server extensions are probably corrupt, you will need to use
the Server Extensions Administrator tool in Settings>Control
Panel>Administrative Tools and navigate to something that looks like
/LM/W3SVC. Right-click and choose all tasks> Remove Server Extensions, then
readd them. You can check them first by using check server extensions or you
can try to repair them, but I rarely have success with these.

What I see in the Server Extensions Administrator is only the name of
the server, I don't see anything else.
Further when I run check, it tells me that it can't find a lot of the
webs that I know exist (and still function).

It is possible that the server extensions are not installed?.

But then how is it possible that VS was an one time able to create
Webs?.

Wen Matrix has no problems executing.

Thanks

Web Matrix does not use the server extensions so it is continuing to work.
It sounds like they are corrupted somehow. You will need to go to your
server name and select new web. This will recreate your root web. If that
does not work, try reinstalling your server extensions.
