Hi there
I am a Uni student just starting in course on nWeb development. To demonstrate IIS we have a small HTML program to load into IIS and display using localhost. The course uses Windows XP for the example and IIS6. I can get the exercise to work on my other PC which has this software but am unable to get it to run on my laptop which has Vista for Business installed. I get the above message with the following
Description: The resource you are looking for does not have a handler associated with it.
Error Code: 0x80070002
Notification: MapRequestHandler
Module: IIS Web Core
Requested URL: http://localhost:80/hello.htm.
Physical Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\hello.htm.
Logon User: Anonymous
Logon Method: Anonymous
Handler: Not yet determined
Most likely causes:
- The file extension for the requested URL does not have a handler configured to process the request on the Web server.
What you can try:
- If the file extension does not have a handler associated with it, add a handler mapping for the extension.
- Verify that the handler associated with the file extension is properly installed and configured.
- Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
More Information...
This error means that the Web server does not recognize the file extension of the requested resource. A module handler is not configured on the Web server for this extension. If the file extension being denied is required by the Web server, add the appropriate handler for the file extension.
Server Version Information: Internet Information Services 7.0.
I asked my tutor who suggested
1. I disable IIS in the Services Control Panel - which I did and this makes no difference or
2. Change the proxy port in the proxy tab in the advanced configuration to something like 8080.
I have not done part 2 yet but I think the problem does not lie there. Any clue would be appreciated
The file is called hello.htm and is in c:\inetpub\wwwroot
it contains the following code
