ASP Doesn't Work After Migration - Posted (1316 Views)

I set up a new server running Server 2003, added the application server roles, made sure asp.net, etc.; are enabled in IIS. Set all the folder permissions (including the ones to allow the cache to work which the default installation neglects to set). All the normal steps. End result, of course, is that html pages are working and .asp pages do not.

Uninstalled IIS, rebooted, reinstalled IIS (then had to reinstall Exchange server, etc.); .asp pages still do not work.

Event log has nothing in it related to IIS or asp.
I ran into this some years back but I cannot remember what I finally had to do to fix it. Anyone struggle with this more recently?

made sure asp.net,
you don't need asp.net for asp pages, you need to enable 'Active Server Pages', have you given the IUSR account permissions to your files ?

Active Server Pages are allowed and yes, I have given the IUSR account, the IIS account, the Network Service, & the System accounts all the necessary permissions to all the appropriate folders. I verified the System permissions in the registry, etc.

I re-registered the asp.dll (just in case) - still no asp pages served.

Nope. Just "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". Friendly messages are off, etc.

You are one unlucky guy since IE8 issue... Must be because of Redmonds bad coding evil
Here goes:
1. from add/remove programs, windows components, you have to install ASP classic first. In Details of IIS, Details of World Wide Web Services, ASP is default unchecked...
2. Your IIS should have given access to your folders. IUSR's, and ofcourse, Guests should not be disabled.
3. From IIS windows, you have to "scripts only" or "scripts and executables" access to it, so you have to add a application pool.

ASP classic is already installed and enabled. Application pools are fine. I can open normal html files, so it's not a DNS issue.
