Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

Hmmm... I don't know if you can run the 2008 languages on Win 2000 (iis 5). You'll want to make sure that iis is setup to run the correct version of .net (i'm assuming you're using 3.5?).

Other than that i'm going to bounce this over to the .net forum... hopefully they'll be able to help you better.

Also, you'll want to make sure to post some code examples, possibly your web.config and how you have iis setup.
