Problem in running ASP files

qualispace

Regular Pleskian
Hello,
I am facing a problem with running .ASP files in one of my windows servers. The server is a Windows 2003 Standard Edition with IIS 6.0. All the ASP files were working fine till yesterday and today suddenly they have stopped working. When I try to run a website containing ASP files, then the website does not open at all as if the internet or the IIS was down. But when I try to open a website with html pages, those websites open pretty fast. The ASP files run only after I restart the WWW service. But after some time, the same problem reappears. I have checked the server and did not find anything weird going on the server. If anybody has faced a similar problem let me know how to resolve it.

Regards

Hello,
I tried to further investigate the cause of the problem and found the following entry in the Event Viewer

Error: Script Engine Exception. A ScriptEngine threw exception 'C0000005' in 'IScriptDispatchEx::Release()' from 'CScriptingNamespace::UnInit()'..

Maybe the above helps.

It seems like some windows files got corrupted:
1. Check system for infection
2. login to console (session) and run sfc /scannow
3. If it will not help - >Windows repair
(as a last step)

Also before of all steps check is there any software installed that relates to database engines - uninstall it

I tried to run the IISState utility in the server and found the following log


Thread ID: 10
System Thread ID: 1d514
Kernel Time: 0:0:0.0
User Time: 0:0:0.0
Thread Type: Possible ASP page. Possible DCOM activity
Executing Page: ASP.dll symbols not found. Unable to locate ASP page.
Continuing with other analysis.

No remote call being made


Can anybody tell me how to find it from this. I have also attached a text file containing the entire log message
