Hello, all!
I wonder why I can't run services WEB publications and FTP publications in
IIS. I have Windows XP Professional and all necessary IIS's services
installed which is a part of the operation system. When I try to start WEB
publications or FTP publications manually I receive a message which mean
that occur some error 3 - the system can't find specified path. Later I
installed SP1 for Windows XP. But I still receive the same message. Do you
know what I should do to solve this problem? Maybe I need "a client license
for access". Or something else?
I'm from Russia. Sorry for my English. If you want you can tell me what
grammar mistake I did when I wrote this letter but not for joke.
You can send me e-mail: pvfee...@bk.ru.

Do you have any special software installed ?
firewall, kazaa ?

Try to reinstall IIS using this steps

a) unisntall iis.

b) remove folders and files (safe mode)
%systemroot%\system\32\inetsrv
\inetpub\
%windir%\iisX.log X(w2k-iis5.log; xp,w2k3-iis6.log)

c) reinstall iis and patch Q811114

Hello, Bernard Cheah!
Thank you for your letter.
About special software. Yes, I have such program - "Sambar Server 5.3
Production". But I had the known problem even before I installed this.
Today I downloaded patch Q811114_2wk_sp4_x86_ru. When I ran it I received
a message which means that this patch is for w2k and that it can't run for
Windows XP. Therefore I downloaded another patch - q327696_wxp_sp2_x86_rus.
It is (if I understood) for increase IIS' security. I reinstalled IIS
step-by-step like in your advice (except for a few nuances - see below).
Then I installed this patch. But I still can't run services WEB publications
and FTP publications in IIS and I still receive the same message which means
that occur error 3 - the system can't find specified path. Do you know
something else about what I should do to solve this problem?
Is there some difference between "%systemroot%" folder and "%windir%"
folder - I don't understand? Explain for Windows XP (I have all adjustments
by default).
More to the point what do you mean when you speak
"%systemroot%\system\32\inetsrv\inetpub\%windir%\iisX.log" - must I delete
all folders or only some of them plus iis6.log (I have Windows XP; I already
tried to delete iis6.log before I installed IIS again)? Moreover is it
very important to do all this steps in safe mode?

You can send me e-mail: pvfee...@bk.ru.

Regards, Pavel Tarasov.

Ok. lets do it again.

a) uninstall iis.

b) remove folders and files (safe mode)

1) %windir%\system32\inetsrv
2) c:\inetpub\
3) %windir%\iisX.log X(w2k-iis5.log; xp,w2k3-iis6.log)

You need to remove each one, then reboot machine.

c) reinstall iis and patch Q811114

the file 811114 for XP is
http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=77CFE3EF-C5C5-401C-BC12-9F08154A5007

Hello, Bernard Cheah!
Today I read your letter. I did all what you wrote. First I uninstalled
IIS. Then I removed two folder ("inetsrv" and "inetpub") and file "iis6.log"
in safe mode. After that I reboot computer. Later I reinstall IIS. At last I
install patch Q811114_WXP_SP2_x86_RUS.
But I still can't run services WEB publications, FTP publications and SMTP

in IIS and I still receive the same message which means that occur error
3 - the system can't find specified path. Do you know something else about

Wow ! Do you have a network card in you pc ?
If not try install a loop back adapter
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=236869
the steps is similar for XP.

There's some failed error in the iis6.log.
anywhere, try the above and assign any private IP
and see how it goes.

IIS will need to bind to IP in order for it to works.
after you configure IP, at command prompt, enter
'netstat -an > aa.txt' and open aa.txt, do you see
any port 80 binding. e.g. 0.0.0.0:80 ??

The 'netstat -an > aa.txt' has redirect all out put to aa.txt
So if you open it you will see the listing.

Anywhere, there's no port 80 in any binding, now, try
'net start w3svc' at command prompt. If you see
the msgs something like 'starting World wide web service...'
with no error, try browse http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/

if you get 'page not found error', then try this tool, host -> localhost.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=284285

If there's error while you 'net start w3svc' like invalid services
and etc. I'm affraid you have to try you have repeat the previous
steps of reinstalling IIS...........

Good luck

Now, I have no ideas what is Sambar 5.3 till I see
your gif file :(

Basically, this conflict with IIS, because both
offer Web server running at port 80. What you
can do is either run both on different IP
or ports, you can configure IIS to run on port 81.
IIS MMC - Web Site properties - Tcpip port -> 81.
do a start and stop. after that you can access
via 'http://localhost:81/

I'm not sure why you get 'system error 3' when you
try to start it. does the installation complete with
no error ? don't run sambar server till you can run
IIS and have successfully change the port.

Hello, Bernard Cheah!
Thank you for your letter.
Most likely, it is necessary to understand why it fails to use IIS. When I
start IIS MMC there is not present neither Web Site, nor Web Site
properties. So I don't imagine how to change the port 80 to the port 81. I
already wrote that I can't start services WEB publications, FTP publications
and SMTP publications. Obviously, it cannot be made for this reason.
As to previous installation IIS: each time it was carried out without any
mistakes.
Maybe I should stop search IIS's mistakes? But then I will not be able to
develop one of the most advanced web site.

1) Disabled sambar server
2) reinstall IIS, remove all files stated and etc
ensure metabase.bin

I don't believe this can't be solve. you should
see at least the web site 'showing' in IIS MMC.
if not meaning something wrong with the installation.

Hello, Bernard Cheah!
Today I reinstalled IIS in the known order about five times, maybe more.
But the services are not started still. Probably therefore, I have not found
the file "metabase.bin" on a disk D where operation system is installed.
Besides I again don't see a web site "showing" in IIS MMC.
Before today I had installed all additional components during installation
IIS. Today I installed the minimum of this. However from time to time in
MMC I saw, that runs either W3SCV, or SMTPSCV, or MSFTPSCV, or all this. But
after rebooting computer it did not runs anyway - I got the error 3 again.
Though before rebooting computer I tried to enter in an IE's address bar
"http://localhost" and didn't got "Not probably to display page" - I got
"There is no sanction to access". And after rebooting computer I received
"Not probably to display page". Before rebooting the computer when the
services was running at command prompt I entered "net stat -an" and there
was no the port 80 binding with any IP address.
Is it possible somewhere (for example at Internet) to find an explanation
how to remove error 3 about which we spoke? I didn't found it.

What ? No metabase.bin ?
This is IIS configuration file, without this or any error accesing
this would give you System error 3. remove the iis6.log, repeat
the steps, after installation, check if metabase.bin exist, if it doesn't
appear, post the iis6.log here.

The installation failed with many errors, didn't you get any prompt
when you install IIS ?

Errors:
1) CallProcedureInDll: Calling 'DllRegisterServer'.End.FAILED. Err=8009000f.
2) CreateIISPackage - Creating the WAM POOL application and many ....
Err=80070003

The first one you can try this kb,
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=271865

The 2nd one was System error 3 -
"The system cannot find the path specified"
which could be related to 1)

You must have metabase.bin after successful installation.

Hello, Bernard Cheah!
I attentively familiarized with the detailed instructions on the page
"http://support.microsoft.com/?id=271865". In particular, there is spoken
that I must have or "%windir%\Profiles\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys", or "%system root %\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys". I
selected the "Show hidden files and folders" option button in "Folder
Options" in order to view this folder and files. But I didn't found this
paths - it doesn't exist. Although I have
"D:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Microsoft\Crypto\RS A\MachineKeys" about which was
wrote at "http://support.microsoft.com/?id=271865" I didn't found any files
in this directory even though I selected the "Show hidden files and folders"
option button in "Folder Options" in order to view this folder and files.
Thereby I again reinstalled IIS. But the services are not started, and the
file "metabase.bin" doesn't appear again.

Do you see any keys here ?
D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application

Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys

My XP Pro has this key, so do W2k and Windows Server 2003.

I have no idea why your key is missing. This has been drag for sometime :(
I would suggestion you 1) Open a case with Microsoft PSS
2) Reformat your machine

Good Luck.

Hello, Bernard Cheah!
In my mind, there was some mess, or, most likely, I have too hurried. I
really have a directory "D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys" with files
"7a436fe806e483969f48a894af2fe9a1_50625f26-9bbf-4ea5-822b-b7c6311c0895" and
"c2319c42033a5ca7f44e731bfd3fa2b5_50625f26-9bbf-4ea5-822b-b7c6311c0895". But
this directory and the files exists only up to deinstallation IIS. And in
the information of "http://support.microsoft.com/?id=271865" is wrote, that
it is necessary at first to deinstall IIS, and then to search for this
directory with the files. I did this. Probably, it produced the
misunderstanding.
Now, perhaps, I should do all steps under the instruction, but I can not
understand its algorithm. Yes, I have the files
"7a436fe806e483969f48a894af2fe9a1_50625f26-9bbf-4ea5-822b-b7c6311c0895" and
"c2319c42033a5ca7f44e731bfd3fa2b5_50625f26-9bbf-4ea5-822b-b7c6311c0895" in
the directory "D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys". But in the instruction also is
written, that if there is a directory
"D:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys", it is necessary to
copy for backing up a files, which are taking place there, to other
directory and then remove them. But I do not have any files in this
directory, though IIS installed.
But, we admit, we shall leave the question about the directory
"D:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys". But what I should do
with the directory "D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys". We admit, I will copy two files from
this directory to other some directory. Then I shall remove them and
reinstall IIS. And what then? Need the files be backed up? But how and
where?
By the way, I missed your question in a previous message: "Did I get any
prompt when I install IIS?" No, I do not get any prompt, except for a
request to insert a disk with Windows XP for the procedure of installation.
As to the file "metabase.bin". I once again have checked up - it does not
exist.

Ok. now. in the MacineKeys folder you will see many keys, right ?
%system root%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application

Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
%systemroot%\system32\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys

a) copy the key files to somewhere (backup)
b) delete all except the "Latest' one. the one with
latest modified date.
c) Assign permissions for both folder as stated in the kb.
d) restart computer
e) reinstall IIS.

Hello, Bernard Cheah!
Yes, I manage to start IIS and browse "http://localhost". It at last has
turned out. Now I can begin development of a site. I have FrontPage 2000. I
think, that I can go by correct way. So much time was not trifled away. We
are remunerated by the positive result (I certainly in general is very
glad).
Yesterday I had time to look how IIS functions. It is not so simply to
adjust it at once. But I think some time after I will understand how to
achieve what can give the great Microsoft's creation - IIS.
In particular, yesterday I have published a small site from FrontPage in
IIS. In the beginning I not correctly have translated what the Russian is
"back up". Therefore I incorrectly have understood that was spoken in the
recommend of "http://support.microsoft.com/?id=271865" and in general I not
absolutely correctly have stated the ideas in the message from 17.07.2003
22:05. But now I have corrected the small weakness of my vocabulary. All
what was necessary to do in order to make IIS to run is to transfer one of
two files, about which we spoke earlier, in any other directory. This file
had earlier date of updating than the second. I mean the file
"c2319c42033a5ca7f44e731bfd3fa2b5_50625f26-9bbf-4ea5-822b-b7c6311c0895".
While that I can use IIS only as a hobby for development Intranet using a
telephone connection and test serviceability of my site and FrontPage'
server expansions in IIS' server environment in order to publish the site in
Internet. But I hope that sometime my hobby will become something large than
merely hobby.
Obviously, subject of our talk about a malfunction of installation IIS is
exhausted. So I shall not write more message on the theme "IIS don't runs"
under my initiative. Only if you ask me something here, I will try to
answer here. And I will write a new questions, if they will arise, under a
new theme in this newsgroup only if you do not mind and will not advise me
to write a new questions, if they will arise, under the same name - with the
theme "IIS don't runs". I will look through the theme "IIS don't runs" still
some time else for any case.
I already wrote, that I am from Russia, but our country have eleven time
zones. Therefore likely it is not understandable, what time I mean, when I
said, that I will write "in the evening or tomorrow". I live in Moscow.
Therefore, if I am not mistaken, when in London is 00.00 o'clock at us is
03.00 o'clock. Or maybe is 04.00 o'clock (but it hardly).
On my first message "IIS don't runs" I have got the letter on my e-mail.
It does not carry private character, therefore I quote it:
"This is a friendly notification that someone has just replied to your
newsgroup message entitled, ' IIS don't runs. ' on. Developersdex is the
world's largest index site for Web Developers integrating 50 newsgroups and

Exclude me from future notifications:

I have visited the site "Developersdex.com" and I do not know yet, whether
it is necessary to me to accept advice to write only there (and what does it
mean when there is saying "...get rewarded for it!"?). Anyway later I will
need to study this site more in detail.
Now I have the real opportunity to develop a remarkable site with IIS'
support. Thank you a lot, Bernard Cheah, for resolving very difficult
malfunction with installation IIS.
