Question

ASP_0177_:_800401f3|Server.CreateObject_Failed

Hi there,

I have encountered this issue with this url POST "/docRegister/docCheckOut.asp". The exact log is below.
POST /docRegister/docCheckOut.asp fileid=170065|14|ASP_0177_:_800401f3|Server.CreateObject_Failed ... http://auperp-bms01/docRegister/docCheckOut.asp?fileid=170065 500 0 0 168

I am in the process of migrating our Website from 2003 Server to 2019 Server. I just got this job assigned to me halfway thru the migration, so someone else already started the manual migration of the website, meaning without Web Deployment. I am not an expert in Websites and just trying to learn as I go along. I have read that migrating Websites use the Web Deployment, is this the only way?

In any case, that is the background. But my above problem seems to be related to my DLLs not properly linked in the IIS.

Can I please have some of your expert help?

Many thanks.

Below are the logs from IIS 10

The website is like a document repository. It looks like the issue happens on POST events. That is why I mentioned that it might be a DLL issue?
The post event is actually a document checkout event from a browser which results in a 500 Error.

I did not see any errors in the event logs. I enable 32bit application support. Also tried using Classic Application Pool.

Our Website is mostly ASP VBScript calling stored procedure in SQL.

Please let me know if you need other information. I guess I also wanted to know if using the Web Deploy is the only way to migrate from 2003 Server?

@mlee22ph About 500 errors, I suggest you failed request tracking to view detailed error information. Web Deploy is a good choice, but it is not the only way. you can also migrate manually by copying configuration files such as administration.config, applicationHost.config, and configEncKey.key, move these files to your new server.

asp website have the ability to create com+ objects via Server.CreateObject(). The com+ objects must be installed and registered on the server. You probably need to install and register the required dlls.

This will probably require reverse engineering the old server. You can get com+ tools, to lookup the dll names in the register. they are probably old, so hopefully you can find an installer. if not track down the dll, and copy and register on the new server.

you will need to send a little time learning com+

thankfully its been over a decade, since I've had to deal with com+

as indicated above, I have experienced this error a number of times after migrating asp applications from 2008R2 to 2012R2. It normally the .dll files need to be re-register on the new webserver. So please check your .dll files.

Thanks guys.
Took me sometime to reverse engineer and trace the error logs. Was busy with other stuff as well.
But thankfully, the thridparty dlls I installed still worked.
