We’re developing an EPiServer-based website and trying to deploy our latest build onto a WinXP IIS6 box.

When browsing to site, we’re getting the following stack trace

[ClassFactoryException: ClassFactory not initialized]
   EPiServer.BaseLibrary.ClassFactory.get_Instance() +123
   EPiServer.BaseLibrary.Context.get_Repository() +14
   EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.StorageProviders.ObjectStoreStorageProvider.VerifyCommonSchemas() +15
   EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.AspNetWorkflowManager.get_StorageProvider() +44
   EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.AspNetWorkflowManager.Initialize(Boolean lazyLoading) +589
   EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.AspNetWorkflowManager.get_InstanceHandler() +16
   EPiServer.WorkflowFoundation.Workflows.ApprovalService..ctor() +93

[TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.]
   System.RuntimeTypeHandle.CreateInstance(RuntimeType type, Boolean publicOnly, Boolean noCheck, Boolean& canBeCached, RuntimeMethodHandle& ctor, Boolean& bNeedSecurityCheck) +0
   System.RuntimeType.CreateInstanceSlow(Boolean publicOnly, Boolean fillCache) +103
   System.RuntimeType.CreateInstanceImpl(Boolean publicOnly, Boolean skipVisibilityChecks, Boolean fillCache) +261
   System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type, Boolean nonPublic) +66

   System.Web.HttpApplicationFactory.GetApplicationInstance(HttpContext context) +106
   System.Web.HttpRuntime.ProcessRequestInternal(HttpWorkerRequest wr) +214

I’ve googled it, and visited the EPiServer forums, but I’ve not found any concrete suggestions or solutions. Has anyone else out there run into this?

    The configuration file is written for IIS7 but you build in webserver in Studio want a IIS6 sonfig file.
