ASP not working with IIS, and I have no IIS Manager help!

hi, I'm in a project right now and my book only contains information concerning the PWS and nothing on ISS. I've searched the web and found no answers to why my IIS doesn't read the .ASP files. Funny thing is, when it's html it works, but when .asp codes are in there, the page will show the code... To add to my misery I don't seem to have anything called IIS Manager. I have no clue what so ever how to create a server through which asp is suppose to go through using IIS. Please help it's urgent!

Hello ookima,

First you can run IIS in Windows 2000 Pro or Windows XP Pro, or one of the server editions.

If you have IIS installed this will get to the IIS Manager regardless of version:
Right click on my computer(on the desktop or start menu in XP style), go to Manage, expand out services, and if you have IIS installed, there will be an Internet Information Services expansion possible.

From here you need to expand to wbesites, or otherwise find the "Default Website" right click on it, go to Proterties, then to the home tab, and there will be a Configuration button on this screen, after clicking that you can configure extension mappings for what file extensions need to map to, asp will map to asp.dll.

In addition to this something to check if you are on Server 2003, is the Webserver Extensions menu, ASP could be disabled in this menu, not allowing it to process on the server-side.
