IIS V5.1 issue - Failed to access IIS metabase.*

I just had an issue with IIS V5.1.. I was trying to access an ASP.NET 2 site via localhost and I got the following error: Failed to access IIS metabase.

To be honest, I had a long day so I'm glad that Dad helped me out with this one.. He came over and found a site which explains this problem and also gave a simple way to deal with it. In "two twos" (as us Bajan's would say - this means.. "in a quick manner"), the fix worked and the site was up and running!

If you ever have this error, I recommend this guy's blog post on it.

In essence though, it seems to be an issue with IIS and ASP 1.1 and 2.0.

"via localhost" ? the wording there has me a bit confused. You mean the site was running on your machine?
