1) Post to one group, not multiple groups that aren't appropriate
(ASP group for IIS errors for example)

2) Post once, if you don't see an answer in ten minutes, wait. You
get us going on five different threads and it's hard to help.

3) Post full error messages, including event log errors.

4) Start here:

Wasn't sure if it was ASP or IIS problem as IIS is able to serve other
pages OK.

Noted, not usual practise but wanted to flesh out the information.

There were none (used event viewer and looked at all 3 log types)

Thanks, I looked at this and have to say it doesn't look too relevant.
Although I can serve html pages from the webroot OK it does concern me
that the very firstthing one does after an IIS install should fail!
Concerned that it may be symptomatic of other problems I shall encounter
downstream

The article you referred to, although referring to the same error code
(8002801c) the messages I saw aren't listed - I don't want to go too
deep on fixes too soon.

I was surprised not to find more references to this on google groups.

If you have any further suggestions, these will be most appreciated -
many thanks.

cheers

Solved now. It was an isue with the Directory permissions (managed from
within IIS). Two thoughts occur:
(i) shouldn't the install of IIS take care of this for the initial set-
up
(ii) the error message could have been more helpful

Anyway, hope this helps someone.

cheers
