Ok - I'll use foxweb.dll only (not foxweb.exe)
 
On the problematic server, here are some clues:
 
1) I am able to serve static (html) pages using IIS
2) attempting to call http://HOSTNAME/cgi/foxweb.dll/show_channels returns the "Page Load Error" (Connection Interrupted) error in Firefox
3) attemping to call a test Foxpro script returns the same error - and I noticed that a test.fxp file never got generated from the test.prg script
4) nothing in the error log
5) the fwstart.log indicates that foxweb is attempting to restart all 6 channels every 30 seconds (all day long) - the fwstart.log contains nothing else

05/11/2009 15:48:35 Restarting Channel 3
05/11/2009 15:48:36 Restarting Channel 4
05/11/2009 15:48:36 Restarting Channel 5
05/11/2009 15:48:37 Restarting Channel 6

It's a brand new foxweb installation - but maybe something is corrupted somewhere? 

Note that this server is also running Coldfusion and is able to serve coldfusion scripts just fine.

Foxweb.exe should not be used with IIS, but the foxweb.dll issue may indicate a serious problem on one server. Do other scripts run OK on that server?
 
Regarding the channel restarts, please send us a full copy of fwstart.log via email.

A followup to this issue.  On server #2, the fwstart.log shows that foxweb keeps trying to restart channels.  At the moment, there are app. 20 vfp9.exe processes running when I have the system configured for only 6 channels.  I was also seeing a bunch of Windows error reporting notifications about IIS worker threads dieing.

Hello,
 
I have just installed Foxweb 4.3 on two Windows 2003 SP2 servers
running IIS.
 
Server #1
- /cgi/foxweb.dll/show_channels -> works OK
- /cgi/foxweb.exe/show_channels -> returns a blank page - view page source shows nothing at all (no HTML content)
 
Server #2
- /cgi/foxweb.exe/show_channels -> returns a blank page - view page source shows nothing at all (no HTML content)
- /cgi/foxweb.dll/show_channels -> returns a "Page Cannot be Displayed" error in IE and a "Page Load Error / Connection Interrupted" error in Firefox
 
Any ideas?

Randy
