I am getting error as
The specified psth is unavailable.The Internet Information Server might not be running or the path exists and is redirected to another machine. Please check the status of this virtual directory in the Internet Services Manager
there isn't much information to go on in that message however I think it's one of two possibilities:
Your path as wrong (can you provide it?)
The folder in IIS isn't set (can you check this?)
All of which is from the error message so I'm not being very helpful, but from experience I think it's most likely to be the path so I would double check and then check again where your deploying to.

I'm just wondering, why I get error during an iisreset in my development machine.
When I execute the command in a Command Prompt some times it wokrs,sometimes it throws an Access Denied Error, and sometimes it throws a file not found exception.
If anyone finds a solution to this anoying problem, I would appreciate a hint how to get rid of it.
In the IIS I'm just hosting an .NET 4.6.1 MVC site.
This stupid error happens randomly and was very annoying especially when you place iisreset inside a script and assume it will do its thing; took me a while to figure it out. It is not related to the service being stopped as can be seen in this picture:
The only thing I use now is:
net stop W3SVC
and
net start W3SVC
Haven't had a problem since then.
I got exactly the same error time ago. Running it in German too. Take a look at this article: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/iis-support-blog/iis-reset-issue-restart-attempt-failed/ba-p/1031976
Judging from #Giorgi Nakeuri's question about the event logs. The "World Wide Web Publishing" (called only "WWW-Publishingdienst" in German) is very likely not running. You need to start it. The "Windows activity process service" fails because of the first one failing.
I think it says that he was unable to start the service, mainly due to a Problem with authorization. The solution of the problem can be provided in several different ways
1- Configuration causing the authorization error can be corrected
applicationHost.config with XML
2- This authorization can be revoked through the Windows register. Example approach here:

3- Machine configuration can be changed in accordance with this
permission. Please continue with the option that suits you :)

i hope it will resolve
Specifying the machine name also helps in some scenarios:
iisreset %ComputerName%
I'm running windows 7 64-bit and trying to load an ISAPI Extension I'm busy writing on my local IIS7 machine.
I added the location to the DLL under "ISAPI and CGI Restrictions"
I made the application pool recognize 32-bit applications (Extension is written in Delphi)
I made sure "Everyone" has full permissions on the directory/dll
I made sure to "Allow" ISAPI-dll in the "Handler Mappings" section and set it to "Read/Script/Execute" permissions
I still get 404.0 error in IIS7
I have checked that my MIME Mapping's is setup to handle *.dll and I have a perfectly working ISAPI-extension running on a different site on the same machine.
I even took this ISAPI-extension that gives me the 404 and put it in the root of the working website (where the other DLL is) and re-mapped the "ISAPI and CGI Restrictions" to it. Still gives me 404.0, even though I can literally run the other DLL at the same time or directly afterward and it's fine.
Any idea WTF is going on?!
It turns out when you receive a 404.0 file not found error when you've setup everything else to work correctly, it means thats the ISAPI extension you're using is referencing (ie, including) another DLL as well. Without that DLL, it will 404.0
Also, if you've forgotten to "allow" a specific ISAPI DLL (even though ISAPI/CGI is allowed to execute) the error message you'll get is 404.2 :)
I know this one's been answered but since I just ran across this yesterday, I'd also point out that 404.0 is the response you get if the application directory doesn't have Execute permission on it. It's not just for binding errors.
For 64 bit, the problem is the registry: The problem I was for 32 bit the location of apache redirector in registry is: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Apache Software Foundation\Jakarta Isapi Redirector\1.0]
but for 64 bitlocation must be: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apache Software Foundation\Jakarta Isapi Redirector\1.0]
Note the "Wow6432Node".
so just re-create the 32 bit on the Wow6432Node and then you are set.
I've promised to take a look at an old DotNetNuke installation for a client with the intention of making a few, hopefully minor, changes. The installation is rather old - I believe version 3.0.013 - and the production copy is running against SQL Server 2000, Windows 2003 and .Net 1.1.
As the production server is live and significantly used we need a development installation first. I have attempted to install a copy on my local server - Windows 2003, SQL Server 2005, .Net 2.0, and although with a few tweaks I can successfully get it to display the site, I cannot login, or even access the login module (ie just putting in blank username and password attempting to generate a 'must enter username' type error) without getting the error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'
I've spent some time trying to get around this error, without success, although I am hampered by not having used this package before.
So my questions are
Has anyone managed to run DotNetNuke 3.0.x with this configuration (or do I need to setup a box with SQL 2000 and .Net 1.0 to get it to run)?
Any suggestions where I should start looking for this error, or has anyone come across anything similar before?
EDIT: Eventually chickened out and installed in on an old webserver with Win2003/SQL 2000/Net 1.1 and it went in fine on an identical install. So I guess the answer is no, it doesn't work straight out of the box.
My feeling is that you shouldn't have any trouble running in the above mentioned environment. But taking a closer look at the error itself will help us to prove that.
If the error is occurring only when you navigate to the Login module, it may be an issue loading the authentication provider. The best way to find out is to look in the DNN Event Log and take a look at the full error message.
Because you can't login to access the Event Log, you should probably just take a look at the row created in the database when you receive the error. The table is called EventLog and there may be a little bit of friction in parsing the error message out, as all of the details are stored in the database in an XML format.
In general, when moving a site from one environment to another there are only a couple of things that you'd need to do:
make sure you can connect to the database
set the file system permissions
It sounds like you already have database connectivity because you can load the site.
However, you may want to double check (just re-apply) the file system permissions for the root of the website on the machine in question. Make sure the identity of the website (typically ASP.NET Machine Account or Network Service) has 'Modify' permissions on the root website directory. Perhaps the web site can't load a particular assembly due to lack of permissions.
At work we have a bunch of sites hosted on our development server. The folder containing all these sites is mapped as a network drive.
In VisualStudio I open the root of the site as a WebSite and when I build the site I alwys get this error.
Error 4 An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to start monitoring changes to

error, please refer to Microsoft
knowledge base article 810886. Hosting
on a UNC share is not supported for
the Windows XP
Platform. I:\Sitename\wwwroot\web.config
I've checked out the KB article and made the registry changes it suggests but this didn't help.
Does anyone know of a fix or workaround for this?
Thanks
Instead of using a mapped drive, use full UNC path and give your current logged in user access to that path: \\MachineName\Sitename\wwwroot\web.config
Chances are high you will get a different effect from that , especially if the Mapped drive was being mapped with different credentials.
Take a look at this hotfix: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911272
It cures the problem
Changing the FCNMode using that hotfix doesn't always fix the problem.
I made a very detailed answer to this problem here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20710473/705198
That answer is an accumulation of all the technet, msdn, and blog reference material I could find on the subject, and what we ended up having to do to fix the problem. Disabling Jumbo Frames (HP Server NIC problems causing another error) and SMB2+ combined with the registry edits were what ended up saving us with our high traffic IIS sites. The registry edits alone only made it so the network bios limit errors would not show up as fast under normal load.
Looked for an answer to this and didn't see it.
This is for IIS 6.0 / Windows Server 2003.
I'm working with an extremely large ASP/ASP.NET application and I'm trying to get my development environment to match my team members environment. This process is basically trial and error: get an error, go into IIS, make a change, hope the error is fixed. Ugh. I'm hoping to find a way to replicate a set of IIS directories and their configurations on one machine onto my machine.
I did find a script that will iterate through and give me a list of all virtual directories on a machine. It helped, but not a lot since I still have to go in and set up all those virtual directories (I think there are like 20 of them ballpark). The whole process is complicated by the fact that we're mixing ASP and ASP.NET applications in the same application which spans many solutions and projects. Getting the whole thing up and going seems like way too much work but I've never heard of a real solution to this.
Would Powershell be helpful here?
You should export and import IIS metabase.
These might help:
IIS Settings Replication
IIS Metabase Backup and Restore
Fortunately, in IIS7, ASP.NET config is integrated with IIS config so the job is done by copying Web.config.
Here's Microsofts' documentation for iiscnfg. iiscnfg documentation
When I ran it the first time, I got an error that said "This script does not work with WScript." If that happens to you:
1. Click OK.
2. At the "Would you like to register Cscript as your default host for VBscript?" click Yes.
3. At "Successfully registered Cscript" click OK.
4. Run the command again
