problem with IIS on XP, I think I need to reinstall IIS, any links on how to do this?

I am having problems with my IIS on my development box and would like to
pitch IIS and redo it from scratch. However I do not want to redo my entire
box. Is it possible to just pitch IIS without turfing .net? Any links
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Problems? I cannot map URLs and user HttpHandlers, Validators are not
behaving properly. Why do I suspect my dev box? Cause the web app behaves
predictably on my w2k3server iis6 box.

Thanks.

asp.net application sit on top of IIS. if you reinstall IIS, you need to
recreate those config.
regarding your httphandler, validators issue try post it to asp.net group.

Thank you for the quick reply Bernard.

I think my problem is the IIS extension mapping though. When I create a
simple HttpHandler for an .aspx extension it's cool. But when I try that
same HttpHandler on a new extension (ex .text) I get 403 coming back.
However, when I copy that webapp to my iis6 box and add the new extension,
everything works just fine.

I found a link on how to reinstall IIS, and tried it out and still no dice.
BUT I did find that when I use the local computer's node in the MMC IIS
Plugin, under All Task, there is a restart IIS, and this seemed to work.
But nowhere in any documentation I've read this is necessary. Why would
this be working now?

Hi Bernard. Thanks again for your reply.

> 403. X ? what is the X ? error msgs ?
I'll have to check it again tonight, but I believe I'm seeing the standard
IE 403 error page with no errors. I've tried looking in the IIS log, but
there's nothing in there other than the 403. :< Any suggestions? I'll
report back what VS tells me. But I believe it's not saying anything cause
it's not getting the page as IIS doesn't know where to pass it off to,
including to VS.

Darn, I can't find the MSDN article. :< Again, I'll locate it tonight. I'm
doing jsp/java dev during the day and C# by night. I have much more fun at
night. :> Well, except with these kinds of problems. :> But it's much
better than fighthing with linux/java/j2ee/JDBC Connectors, etc! :<

Thanks.

At IE, there's should be more explanation msgs when the error pop up.

you won't find sub-status code in iis log since this is xp.
