I am trying to set up another instance of a live website for a customer to evalulate, however i am unable to get the server to serve up any ASP.NET pages at all.

I know this is normally a bit of a noob question, but i have set up these servers a hundred times and know all the usual gotchas, i have done all of the following to no avail, and for my example i have created a simple test page that writes out hello world, and i’m still unable to get anything to serve..

This is windows server 2003 R2 SPII

  • I have registered ASP.NET using aspnet_regiis.exe -i
  • I have enabled the web service extensions
  • I have created it as a virtual directory, and created the application
  • I have set the version of ASP.NET for my virtual directory to use
  • I have even created a new App Pool and given it administrator permissions.
  • I have run Auth Diag From Microsoft, i get and error from the authentication check, but it is blank
  • I have given full control to the everyone group for the folder
  • I have tried creating a new website with a different port, same problem

In fiddler i get the following repsonse when loading an asp.net page :

HTTP/1.1 504 Fiddler - Receive Failure
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: close
Timestamp: 09:43:01:0634

ReadResponse() failed: The server did not return a response for this request.

Looking at the IIS logs, i dont see any entries for any of the ASP.NET requests unless i turn on windows authentication, then i see
