IIS does not interpret asp page

08-27-04 11:19 PM

I am unable to get any ASP page to work. Here is a simple ASP file named
"Show Time.asp" that doesn't return the TIME. All that is displayed is the
text "At the tone, the time will be:"
<html>
<head><title>Show Time</title></head>
<body>
At the tone, the time will be: <%=TIME()%>
</body>
</html>
This file is located in a folder named "SDS" directly below the "wwwroot"
folder.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

How are you opening the file?

http://localhost/show%20time.asp or are you just double-clicking on it in
Explorer? You need to do the former, not the latter. It's Active *Server*
Pages, and they need to be requested through a webserver, so that the code
can be processed.

Cheers
Ken

Hi Ken, I was just double clicking. However, I tried accessing the page
through the web as you suggested and received the "Page cannot be displayed"
message. Do I need to change anything in IIS configuration?

What *else* did that page say?  Did you browse to it on the server
itself?  By URL or IP?

Thanks Ken and Jeff for your suggestions. The pages are now displaying. The
problem lies with Norton AntiVirus. When you install a program (IIS) from a
CD-ROM and Norton AntiVirus is installed, problems do occur. I removed
Norton from my system, uninstalled IIS and reinstalled it again. All is
well.....

Thanks again,  Richard
