Going from IIS 7 to IIS 6

[Max Figueredo]

Hello,

I'm having problems deploying my application, and I suspect it is because I'm running IIS 7 on my development machine, and the production server is running IIS 6.

The problem manifests as the tabstrip not responding to clicks, and in IE I get the following javascript error on page load:

Error: 'Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager' is null or not an object

Somewhere I read that IIS 6 cannot read the <system.webServer> section of a web.config, and I can see I have that section.

Could someone please point me in the right direction as to the IIS 6 compatible sections on a web.config ?

Hi Max,

Please, make sure that you have the Telerik handlers and modules registered in the system.web secion as well:

<system.web>
    <httpHandlers>
      <remove path="*.asmx" verb="*"/>
      <add path="*.asmx" verb="*" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" validate="false"/>
      <add path="*_AppService.axd" verb="*" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" validate="false"/>
      <add path="ScriptResource.axd" verb="GET,HEAD" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" validate="false"/>
      <add path="Telerik.RadUploadProgressHandler.ashx" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.Upload.RadUploadProgressHandler, Telerik.Web.UI"/>
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler.aspx" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.DialogHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4"/>

      <add path="ChartImage.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.ChartHttpHandler, Telerik.Web.UI, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=121fae78165ba3d4" validate="false"/>
      <add path="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd" verb="*" type="Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource, Telerik.Web.UI" validate="false"/>
    </httpHandlers>
    <httpModules>
      <add name="RadUploadModule" type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadUploadHttpModule, Telerik.Web.UI"/>
      <add name="RadCompression" type="Telerik.Web.UI.RadCompression" />
      <add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
    </httpModules>
</system.web>

I hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for the advice.

I tried adding it to my web.config but the issue persisted.

However I was able to resolve it simply by replacing the RadScriptManager with a regular ScriptManager, go figure.

As long as it works I'm happy, thanks again !
