IIS6 & Default.asp

I have yet another problem with IIS6.

When I set my default page to default.htm and the contents of which are:



Everything is fine.

When I move default.asp to the top of the list I the contents of which are:



The page does not render. The page actually goes into a timeout but does not actually produce an error message or anything at all. I am completely lost with IIS6 as per my previous post.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can troubleshoot this please?

Last week I am sure I got a default.asp page to render with similar contents. .asp is in the extention list too.

Arrrghhh.

I have restarted IIS and now the default.asp page does not render and I receive an error message of:

The only code now in the default.asp page is:


i.e. Not even any <% %> tags.

Is there anybody out there to offer me some assistance???

Actually the error message is:

The global.asa is accessing a database and after viewing the IIS logs it told me that the user account did not have access. I have renamed the global.asa file and this now allows my asp page to render without any issue.

I hope this is helpful to someone.

You'll find permission problems are often the underlying cause of IIS misbehaving.

Cheers Doug.

I created a SQL account and gave it access to the database and the Global.asa worked as it should apart from a reference to Server.Variables portion which I need to hard code as the web site development area doesn't have the same name as the actual website. This isn't too much of a difficulty as I know now what is going on. Finally!
