Internet Information Service Help

Hi everybody,

I'm not sure this is the right spot to post such posting.

I was wondering if someone might help me to fix strange things happened with my IIS server.

Today I noticed my IIS is not functioning.
I went to the services administration trying to fix it. It goes with the error message that it cannot find the path.

Then I went to IIS consol by itself and noticed that I cannot run right mouse click for "properties of Internet Information Service". Double-clicking on "Internet Information Service" doesn't help too, it looks like folter is blank.
Another words its full of mess., and I really don't know what to do.

Please help!!!

Have a great day,
Peter

Is there anything in Event Log?

Not really. Reference to local computer to be connected to IIS simply disappeared from the Internet Service Manager (like someone deleted it). When I try to connect to my local computer manually, it brings me that silly message: "Error connecting to my computer name. Cannot find the path specified." It's kind of confusy, what path they are talking about, and where can I look at the registry or somewhere else to see that path?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have a great day,
Peter

Is the "C:\Inetpub" still existing? What's happening if you try to restart IIS from services?

Yes, the entire directory "C:\Inetpub" still existing. When I try to restart IIS from services it gives the same error message about "Error connecting to my computer name. Cannot find the path specified".

The same message appears even when I try to open Internet Service Manager Application through the Administration Tools, because there is no local computer set up at all (it looks like it was deleted). When I try to connect IIS to my local computer it gives the same error message about the path.

I have know idea what to do with it. Please advise.

Have a great day,
Peter

Try to remove IIS and install again. You can do it from control panel -> add/remove programs -> add/remove windows compenent. To reinstall, you will need the windows CD.

Dont forget to virus scan your pc.

How about the version of Windows? IIS? Did you change your computer name recently?

No, I didn't change my computer name. I'm running Windows 2000 Server, and IIS is a part of OS.

I will reinstall IIS, let see what happen. If any other idea, please advise.

Thank you and have a great day,
Peter

Thanks everyone for trying to help me.

I fixed that issue with IIS.
First, I uninstalled IIS as a component, and then reinstalled it again.
While I rebooted the system it starded fixing bad files and references, and I assume the system was corrupted. But anyway, now I know how to fix it.
If anyone have similar issues, I will give my advice.

Have a great day,
Peter
