Asp cannot be found..?

[kenjoswe]

Hi all,

When I try to browse a asp file directly from IIS with the extension .asp (example: asptest.asp) then I get: 'The page cannot be found'. If I change the same file to suffix .aspx then there is no problem.

I have checked the application extension and seen that .asp is present in the list.

So what can I do about it?

DNG: '..post..exact error message..'
testare: 'I would like to thank..'

It very similar to what I got.

DotNetGnat,

I solved it!
By default, when you initially install IIS 6.0, IIS serves only static content to make sure that the server is secure. The Web Service Extensions node of the ISM is used to permit or to not allow programs that extend this functionality.

So you need to allow ASP. To do this follow this KB Article, section "Enable a Pre-existing Web Service Extension in IIS 6.0"
