Restoring crashed server

My dedicated server (Windows server 2003, IIS v. 6) crashed yesterday to the point where they just had to do a reimage of the original setup. My problem is that the guy who worked with me and originally set our web site up is no longer around--and I'm only dangerous.

I've gotten the domain set back up on the server and have copied my old code back over to it, and can view html files from a browser, but when I try to pull any asp file in the same directory, I get a "Not Found - The requested document was not found on this server" message.

If I just do the domain with no filename afterward, I just get "Forbidden - You do not have permission to access this document." The default file is set up in IIS as index.asp. But like I say, if I specify the full filename, I instead get the Not Found error.

Is there a box I have not checked or something?

Thanks,
Tom

I should say that the Not Found is a 404 (from the title bar of the browser) and the Forbidden is a 403.

go into the IIS Console and make sure Active Server Pages are allowed...

Start --> Administration Tools --> Internet information Services

then go to Web Service Extensions

Thanks Easy_Coder. I did that and ASP extensions were indeed prohibited. I set them to Allow and have restarted things, but the same problems still exist. Any other thoughts?

Go into your site properties and look at the home tab and see if scripts are allowed for Execute Permissions.

I actually got someone at the tech support who was willing to help me and he noted that I had the Default Application and MS Share pools stopped. He started them and all that stuff worked fine.

Thanks for your help as it wouldn't be working had I not known to allow ASP extensions.
