    I can't seem to get connected to MSDE on my Win2kPro machine.  I have v0.5.1 installed into it's own application directory in IIS.

    I'm able to load the intial ASP Ent Man page that prompts for the server, username, and password, but nothing I seem to enter will work.  When I click connect, the page just reloads and clears the input boxes.  I use "localhost" for the server name, and have tried "sa" with no password as well as a username/password I created.

    Does this indicate a problem with my installation, or with the credentials I'm using?  I did go into the registry and set mixed-mode authentication, but that didn't seem to make a difference.

      It sounds like a problem with the installation.  Even if the credentials are wrong, it should give you a message that say Login Failed and the servername, username and password should still be there.

      Are you not getting any type of error messages from .Net?

      Nope, no error messages from .Net or anywhere else.  I wish I could give you more information, but there doesn't seem to be any.

      Is there anything I should try?

      Thanks.

        If you have it in a virtual or sub-directory, make sure that the following 3 items are in the root of the website (not the root of the virtual directory).

      Well, I made sure those 3 items were there as you suggested but I still have the same problem.  I then also moved everything into the root directory to see if that changed anything, but it didn't.

      I have another app built on .Net (though not asp.net) and it seems to work, so I'm not sure what could be wrong.

      I think I know what the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it.  I don't think *.aspx files are being processed at all.  Should I have an application mapping for *.aspx files, and if so, to what dll should they be mapped?

      DOH!!

      I installed IIS *after* installing .Net, so .Net was not registered with IIS, and ASP.Net files were not being processed.

      For the benefit of others, here's how to get it registered:

      Start>Run>cmd
      cd %windir%\microsoft.net\framework\v1.0.3705
      aspnet_regiis -i

      This will register ASP.NET's ISAPI extension in IIS to allow browsing of asp.net pages.

      Sorry for the trouble.
