ASP pages are not working in IIS5 webserver on WinXP Pro. Has anyone experienced this before? Asp.net pages and html pages are working fine. What do I have to do to make them work?

Hope someone can help! Thanks, Joey.

(PS I did try searching the forum first but ASP is too short apparently to be a valid search term)

Is the .asp extension still mapped in IIS?

1. Run IIS (%SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv\iis.msc)
2. Choose the site that ASP pages are not working on (or the Default Web Site)
3. Do Right-Click Properties
4. Click the Home Directory tab
5. Click Configuration
6. Click the Mappings tab
7. Find .asp in the list
8. Click Edit
9. Set the Executable (usually C:\WINDOWS\System32\inetsrv\asp.dll)
10. Set the Verbs to Limit to
11. Set the Limit to box to GET,HEAD,POST,TRACE
12. Check the Script engine box
13. Click Ok

Is the web site set-up to execute scripts?

1. Run IIS (%SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv\iis.msc)
2. Choose the site that ASP pages are not working on (or the Default Web Site)
3. Do Right-Click Properties
4. Click the Home Directory tab
5. Set Execute Permissions to Scripts only

Still not working? Does the site need it's own application space?

1. Run IIS (%SystemRoot%\System32\inetsrv\iis.msc)
2. Choose the site that ASP pages are not working on (or the Default Web Site)
3. Do Right-Click Properties
4. Click the Home Directory tab
5. If the Application name box is disabled click Create

Thanks for that. I managed to get it working on my own a wee while ago, basically trying what you say in your first suggestion. Why it works fine immediately on Win 2000 but needs this done in XPpro I have no idea though!

Funny. It's Ment To Execute ASP Before ASP+...
Perhaps Because IT Executes ASP+ It Doesn't Execute ASP.
Try Disabling ASP+...

I am also having the same issue. If you know of a solution please let me know.

Do you have Index server installed?
Try disabling it.
Sometimes if you have index server running all the time, it will get in the way of ASP execution.
