Hi,

I have a windows 2003 server with the .NET framework installed, however, I am unable to run my old classic ASP pages. I get a Page Not Found Error.

Is there any reason for this?? Regular HTML pages work as well as .aspx pages but not the old .asp files.

Any helps would be greatly appreciated.
 
You need to go into the IIS console. If you click on the Home Directory tab (or something like that) there should be a <Configuration> button. You'll need to add the .asp extension and point it to asp.dll (usually in system32\inetsrv\. Once you map that .asp pages will run fine.
 
Yep, Everything in IIS seems to be correct:

Under Home Directory -> Configuration -> Mappings the reference to the asp.dll is there and I checked the path to make sure its points to the correct location and it does.

Would anybody have any other ideas???
 
We had something similar recently on a W2003 machine (but it was both ASPX and ASP pages that were returning the Page Not Found error).

In our case it turned out to the in the Application Pool settings (there was an Exception entry for ASP.NET which caused them not to be loaded). You could check that there isn't anything similar in your settings.
