Trouble with IIS 5.1 serving asp files
Hi,

I'm running XP Pro Sp1 with IIS 5.1 and MSDE. I have both running and plan to test a small website. When accessing my local default website within IIS I can accesssing any html page created with FrontPage without a problem but I cannot display asp or aspx pages correctly. After creating a test.aspx page and placing it in the wwwroot directory and I get when I access the page with IE is the text of the page and not the asp version of it.

Any ideas on what might be causing this or what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Bob

Check for the Framework version. Make sure you have 1.1 installed. Also check your IIS config - allows to execute asp and aspx pages.

Thanks for the response.

I'm not too familiar with the permissions settings but I'm assuming that this is done by accessing Default Web site Properties, then the Home Directory tab, and then Execute Permissions at the bottom. I have this set to Scripts only. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Bob

The problem isn't executing scripts -- it's probably that there are no ISAPI mappings for ASP.NET pages setup.

The best and easiest way to do this is with a command-line utility that is installed with the .Net framework.

Drop to a command-line on your workstation and go to the .Net framework installation directory, which is:

C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322

if you have version 1.1 of the framework installed. If you have version 1.0 of the framework, the folder would be

C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.0.3705

Anyway, once you're in this folder at a command prompt type this command and hit Enter:

aspnet_regiis -i

This will make sure all the websites on your machine are configured to support .aspx pages.

Best,

Question
Thanks for the repley Aaron.

I tried what you suggested but I'm still not getting anything here. Here is the replay of what I did so you can see it.

C:\Documents and Settings\Bob>cd C:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322>aspnet_regiis -i
Start installing ASP.NET (1.1.4322.0).
Finished installing ASP.NET (1.1.4322.0).

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322>

After this I rebooted and retried my page getting the same text display of the test.aspx web page I created. Here is the text of the page I created for this.

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>ASP.NET Test</title>
</head>

<body>
<center>
<form action="test.aspx" method="post">
<% Dim I As Integer
For I = 0 to 7 %>
<font size="<%=I%>">Welcome to ASP.NET</font><br>
<% Next %>
</form>
</center>
</body>
</html>

If I go external to my PC I can open other ASP pages without a problem so it's not something in IE that's causing this.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks again,
Bob

Addition - I just tried something else here which is interesting. If [on my local PC] I enter URL I get the URL webpage telling me that IIS is running, etc. It also tells me that users from other machines will get the "under construction" webpage. So I went to another PC on my little network and entered URL and I do get an "under construction" page. Then I went back to the IIS help and found an example of an asp page, did a cut and paste, then tested it from PC2. This came back with the intended result. So not knowing that much about asp page formats I'm concluding that the sample text to use was incorrect or some reason. If anyone sees anything obvious point it out to me so I can avoid this in the future.

Thanks for all the help!
Bob
