I have IIS (probably 5.0) on Windows XP. When I launch Internet Services Manager (from Control Panel -> Administrative Tools), it launches fine. Then, I run my ASP page which tries to connect to Oracle database and fails (don't know why). Then, I try to launch the Internet Services Manager again but it doesn't launch. What is wrong

Everything (IIS, the ASP page) was working fine for a year until I uninstalled Oracle and cleaned up Registry entries that were related to Oracle and then reinstalled Oracle. I can connect to Oracle fine through SQL*Plus but cannot connect through ASP any more.

Thanks Paul for the info. But, that doesn't solve the problem. There is nothing wrong with the code because it used to work for a year.

I'm thinking about reinstalling IIS but not sure what the impact on that. Can I install it eventhough IIS is there?

If nothing chnaged and it always worked before, it works now. You
need to fix what changed. And reinstalling IIS just becasue you don't
know what to do is not the way to go. Nor will it help.

This isn't an IIS problem. And just because the code that worked
doesn't work now doesn't mean the code is good. Perhaps your code
only looks for a four digit ID in your database and you've just added
ID number 10,000.

We need error messages, code snippets, expected results, log entries,
event log entries and so on to diagnose your problem. We can't
accurately answer "used to work, now doesn't, what's wrong?"
questions.

When you ask a question, we genuinely want to help you resolve
whatever problem you have. But when we ask you a question in return,
you need to answer it. When we suggest a place to look for
information, you need to look there and follow the suggestions. And
when you have a problem, we need *all* the symptoms and events leading
up to it.

Can't tell. Can't see the error from my desk.

You uninstalled Oracle and reinstalled it. During that process you
changed something. The database path, security settings, maybe table
structure, whatever. Find that change and fix it and your pages will
work. If you need to, create a simple table and a simple ASP page to
read records from it, and test using that. My guess is your
connection string (or ODBC if you use that) is now incorrect, but I
can't see that from my desk either. Your computer screen must face
the wall instead of the window...

Hello,

Can you use any Oracle Tools to monitor database activity (such as Profiler
in SQL Server)? That would tell you if there is anything going on in the
database, and that something is not working correctly.

How do you know that it is the connection to the database that fails, and
not the query? Do you have any information telling you this? If so, please
share it with us.

Have you tried a simple "Hello World" ASP-page? (so that we can find out if
it really is with the database, or with ASP.

Then, I run my ASP page which tries to connect to Oracle database and fails
(don't know why). Then, I try to launch the Internet Services Manager again
but it doesn't launch. What is wrong?

What happens if you wait for a very long time (not 1 or 2 minutes, maybe 15
minutes...). Do you get any informative? Please also disable "Show Friendly
HTTP Error Messages" in your browser.
