IIS Site Migration - application pool issues - Service Unavailable

Hi. I am moving a site from one Windows 2003 server to another, ASP.Net
2.0.50727, IIS 6.0, with a separate application pool, SQL 2005
Steps Taken:

- Created IIS Web application
- Created Application Pool
- Copied directory structure (web config connect string points to local
server)
- Restored database
- Created local user, network user
- Added network user to IIS_WPG
- Gave local user, IIS_WPG permission to web directory
- Updated IIS Web application with home directory, users, and application pool
- Browse: Error - Service Unavailable

I am getting a Service Unavailable, and the system event "A failure was
encountered while launching the process serving application pool 'NewSite'.
The application pool has been disabled."

I have tried using the iis 6.0 migration tool, as well as AccessEnum to view
permissions, but must be missing something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This has been very frustrating.

OK - It was a case sensitive issue for the DNS entry.

All set. Guess I've been looking at this too long...

Prior to that, it was a typo in the identification for the pool, plus the
fact that I had granted full control to the web directory, whereas it should
have been execute & read, list, and read access only.

Then I was having a name resolution issue. My earlier reply did not get
posted due to the site being busy(?).

Cheers.
