All I get is a page with the source... 1

[benlinkknilneb]

Hi all,

I'm trying to learn ASP.NET. I've installed IIS and all the tools that I was told to... I downloaded the source of some sample apps (one through the MSDN help, the other off a random website) and any time I try to load an ASP page in IE, I get a white page with all the source of the document instead of the output of the ASP code. What did I miss?

There's no place like 127.0.0.1.

Make sure the aspx extensions are listed in your IIS extension listing. I believe otherwise, it treats it like a text file and just spits out the code as text.

Also, if you haven't installed the framework correctly, you could try running "aspnet_regiis -i" from the framework directory.

I selected it, and chose "Open With..." then picked IE. I have solved the problem, however, at least partially. When I actually moved it into my Inetpub/

http://wwwroot

folder, it ran fine. How do I set other (test) directories to work like that?

That is your problem then. When you do this, you are not executing the file, you are merely viewing it's contents. To execute the file you have to request it through your web browser e.g.

http://localhost/MyProject/MyPage.aspx

If you want to store your aspx pages somewhere else (other than the

http://wwwroot

directory) you can simply set up a virtual directory in IIS.
