Cant get Vault 2009 to install on Win 2003 Server

[guyh]

Hi,

I'm planning a migration from Vault 2009 to 2011.  I am trying to create a test server install to run a trial migration but I can not get the server to pass the pre-checks.  It fails on 2 things.

Checking ASP Status Accessing an http static file failed at URL http://localhost/TestASP/TestASPNetStatic.txt. 

Checking that IIS is running on port 80 Please make sure that the default website is running on port 80.

I have gone through all the steps and checks I can think of using the Advanced config guide and help. 

IIS is installed and the default website is running port 80.  I've reregistered ASP.Net services.  I've check to see what PID is running on port 80.  It shows System which if I change the port of the default website will no longer show using netstat so I assume this is the default website running on port 80.

I'm at a loss and looking for things to check.

I've noticed that the DefaultAppPool is disabled in the IIS manager following the running of the pre-checks.  What would cause that?

Thanks,

The installer will be trying to install into the default site, which is likely set to use the DefaultAppPool; so yes, the DefaultAppPool should be running.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the reply.  I know DefaultAppPool should be running so what could be causing it to stop running following or during the precheck?

Ok so I am down to 1 issue.

I managed to resole the issue regarding DefaultAppPools stopping.  I had to go into Component Services, drill down to DCOM Config and find IIS Admin Service.  Then through the properties and security tab allow Network Service permissions.  This now passed the pre-check.

I am left with the error ASPX file failed to run at URL: "http://localhost/TestASP/TestASPNet.aspx".

I am on Win 2k3 server.  I have registered the ASP.Net service again, allowed access through IIS and checked it is my default website setting.  I still have the error.

Can anybody suggest something else?

Thanks,

Guy

When you get the pre-check error, you can open up the error to get more detail. For most things I think there are also suggestions for how to resolve it.  If those don't work can you post the detail?

Gone through all that.  I'm at the stage of looking at IIS permissions etc.  I'm going to speak to our VAR but I'll be honest I have no faith in most of them beyond what I already know.  

Thanks,

Guy
