iis 6 - IIS where ASP pages aren't working

ASP pages don't seem to be working if they contain any ASP code. Is there a way to test the setup of IIS6?

Answer

Without knowing the error(s) that you're receiving or symptoms of the problem it's hard to narrow down what you're dealing with and provide a solution.

However, to cover the basics:

• Make sure ASP is installed on your IIS box. If this is ASP.NET make sure you've installed the proper version of the .NET framework.


• Make sure ASP is enabled as a web extension


• If this is ASP.NET you can run aspnet_regiis -i from the installation folder of the .NET version you're working with to make sure it gets registered with IIS. The folder you'll want to look in is %systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\[specific version folder]\


• Make sure you have configured an application on your web site or in the directory that holds your ASP code.
