In regards to your original problem, it sounds like your IIS got goofed up, perhaps Web Service Extensions were disabled somehow? To check this :
Verify Web Service Extensions
#1 - Start Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on the server in question
#2 - click on Web Service Extensions folder in left pane.
#3 - Verify that ASP.NET v1.1.4322 is set to Allowed.
#3a - If it is marked as Prohibit, enable it by click on it, then clicking on the Allow button.
#3b - If the framework is not present, reinstall the .NET Framework.
Once you reinstalled IIS, it would have cleared any settings that were there previous, including installed web sites / application pools. Your best best would probably be to reinstall FDM web component to ensure that everything is setup properly.
Another possibility in regards to the original issue is that the app mappings got messed somehow. These control which program handles pages on the server. (i.e. ASPX is a .NET page and .ASP is active server pages classic)
Verify Application Mappings
#1 - Start Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on the server in question
#2 - Locate FDM Website (most likely under Websites / Default Web Site), right click, and select properties.
#3 - On the Virtual Directory tab, click on Configuration
#4 - On the Mappings screen confirm that there are Application extensions for ASPX, etc.
In regards to getting you setup now that you have reinstalled IIS .......
Setup App Pool
#1 - Start Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on the server in question
#2 - Expand the application folder and verify you don't see your FDM App Pool.
#3 - Right click on the Application Pools folder, then New, then Application Pool
#4 - Provide it with the name you would like and use the default settings for new application pool option.
#5 - If you had any specific changes configure the application pool by right clicking on it and selecting properties
- In our environment we had a couple of changes we made such as : Max used memory was increased and we swapped out the application pool identity user account to our "hypadmin" account.
- I recommend referring to the installation instructions for your specific version of FDM in case it recommends any other changes.
#6 - After you have the pool configure how you want it, right click on the pool, all tasks, and Save Configuration. This allows you to save all of the configuration pool information to a file. In the event it disappears again (???), you can recreate it using the config file.
Configure Web Site
#1 - After the pool is created and configured, locate the FDM website which is probably listed under Default Website in the Websites folder. Right click and select properties.
#2 - On the virtual directories tab, click the Application Pool drop down and select the Pool you just created.
I suspect there is more to your problem because even if the App pool was gone from IIS, the site should still be there. If the default folder for your Hyperion FDM web files looks like a folder and NOT a cog w/ a globe, then it is not setup .....
Create Virtual Directory
#1 - Start Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on the server in question
#2 - Expand the Web Sites folder
#3 - right click on Default Web Site and select 'New', Virtual Directory
#4 - Follow the Wizard and supply the following information :
a. Alias - This is the name of the website Alias which will be used in the URL. (i.e. FDMWeb would become http://webserver/FDMWeb)
b. Path - The root folder where the web documents are stored.
c. Permissions - check Read
#5 - Configure the app pool as explained above.
