Author ASP Note Working on IIS 6.0

2004-01-24, 1:47 am

I'vve been running local development web server using Win98/PWS then XP/IIS
for a few years now and have worked my way round most things.

I've now set up a Windows 2003 Standard Serverand I'm having problems.

html pages seem to work finebut when looking at asp pages I am getting file
not found errors. The files are definitely there, so something is amiss.

I am running exactly as I was before,creating directories within the default
web site and then putting my stuff in there.

So I would have http://server/domain.co.uk to access development versions of
sites

I have added .asp into default documents.The strange thing is that with
directory browsing turned onm I can see the file but then when I click on it
I get'page could not be found'

It's got to be something dead simple that I am missing in the transition
from XP Pro to a proper Windows Server environment.

Does anyone know of any resources detailing step-by-stepsetup of Windows
2003 Roles?

Many thanks

Mick

Make sure you enable ASP files in Web Service Extentions in the IIS Manager
(MMC). Set the status to allowed and it should start working. ASP is
disabled by default on a new installation of IIS 6.

Hello,


IIS 6 is locked down by default. This means that script files like asp and
php cannot be executed until you allow it. To allow asp files, follow these
steps:

a.. Click Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Internet Information
Services Manager
b.. Expand <servername> and click Web Service Extensions
c.. In the right pane, right click Active Server Pages and select Allow
