405 error on IIS7

Hi all,

I have been doing a lot of digging and i can't seem to find a solution.

I have a new windows 2008 box and its has IIS7 installed along with Coldfusion. Now Coldfusion works fine, however, i have one small page on my app that uses ASP, and that page always gets the following error:

405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.

So i found the ASP is no longer installed by default on IIS 7, so i installed it......and got the same error.

then i went to the 'Request restrictions' page and under Verbs i checked "all verbs" and unchecked the "invoke Handler.." under mapping. I basically gave it the same setup as cfm files, but yet still the same error. Anyone have an idea of what i might be missing?

Thanks

Ok, so i found i apparently need to add an application Pool (which was added automagically by the install) but i need to set the .net framewrok version to "no managed code". I did this and added an application which uses the dir that contains by little script as the root. But alas, still i get a 405 error.....

I don't know, don't have W2008. Maybe something in this google search might help?

Ok, so i think i found the problem!

If you already have a default website created in IIS, you need to delete it and then readd it using the classic ASP Application pool, then everything should work! Once it was working, i went back to the default application pool, and so far everything seems to be working fine!
