SIP2 doesn't detect ASP.NET

Question:

---

I know I have ASP.NET installed on the server but when I run Smart Image Processor 2, it doesn't detect that there is ASP.NET... I also ran the SIP2 components check, but it shows that there is no ASP.NET installed

Smart Image Processor 2 uses a special web service to do the image conversion in ASP.NET while still using classic ASP. The web service is located as file in /ScriptLibrary/sip_service.asmx

You should check:

1. Have you uploaded to file /ScriptLibrary/sip_service.asmx to your live site?
   
2. You should be able to run this file in your browser, so just enter its url and run it like:
   http://www.mywebsite.com//ScriptLibrary/sip_service.asmx
3. Make sure you have defined the root of your site as Web Application in IIS
4. Make sure you have uploaded the /bin folder to your live site
   
5. If ASP.NET is not running you will see just code display
6. If ASP.NET is running but something is wrong with the configuration you will see an extended ASP.NET error.
7. If you see a general ASP.NET error telling you that errors are disabled, make sure you have a web.config file in your site root and the following is in it:

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>  

If you have discovered an ASP.NET error, try fixing it first with your hosting provider. If you really can't solve it, post it in the Smart Image processor 2 Support Forums
