Hi Rick,
I made a change to the server and reran the projectName_bld.prg after you helpped me fix my server. but not when I am away from the desktop of the server for a while and try to login when no COM servers are running, they don't restart. What did I do to screw it up this time...? the page error when I try to access the default or any page even the admin page, I get this message:
500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
Any clue? And if I log back into the server, the system fires right up. Seems like the app it tied to the wrong user account, but that is only a guess and when I rebuilt the app, I was running VFP as an Administrator.
The COM server needs to be set up to launch as SYSTEM (or some other account) not the INTERACTIVE account. If you're doing development and building the server with bld_ on a 'local' machine, it'll automatically force INTERACTIVE. For a deployed system you don't want that.
Read about it here:

Thanks... DCOM was set to "The interactive user", changed it to "The launching user" and after restarting the application pool and site, it launched the app!
Yeah common problem for people who use their live server for development. The automatic build process adds Interactive User for debugging, unless you change the build script to not set the DCOM user explicitly (or set it to another user/pwd).
What did it likely was DO BLD_YourApp.prg
