Hiya,

I am setting up a little intranet for my company. The machine the server is on is a Windows 2k machine, and I am running IIS and the personal web manager.

I have it up and running, and I can open .htm and graphic files just fine, however It will not seem to execute ASP pages.

Can anyone clue me in as to what setting I have wrong?

Thanks.

Have you loaded the IIS portion from the win2k cd? This is an add on from the pro cd. You will also need to either create a virtual folder in IIS or stick you website in the wwwroot.

You can set up PWS to run the ASP, but if you have win2k load the IIS stuff and it will be more powerful.

Yeah, I have that loaded. Actually, to get the personal web manager on my machine, I had to load IIS.

At least, I assume the IIS you talking about is from add/remove programs and then windows componets.

I was fooling with some settings in the personal web manager. Is there a way in there to turn on/off the ability to run asp pages?

Is there a way for me to test to see if IIS is indeed running on my system?

Do you have an Inetpub folder? Is there a wwwroot folder in it? If so then make an asp file like

call it asp and put it in the wwwroot folder. Then access it using [localhost...] This will take you to the wwwroot directory. Say you put the test.asp page directly in the wwwroot page then your path would be [localhost...]

You have to access your asp pages through localhost or a dns entry. You cannot just access them like a file. IIS needs to know that you need to fire off the asp.dll.

Well, like i said, if i put an ASP file in there as say, the default document, and i open it then the webbrowser tries to open the page with the blue progress bar taking forever to load until it finally craps out.

However, if i point it to an HTM file or a jpg or a gif, it loads just fine.

And it does this on other computers. My machines name is ED so on any amchie in the office i can type in ED in the explorer bar, and it will open the site. however, asp documents are just not getting executed.

open your control panel. Go to administrative tools. Go to internet services manager. You should see your computer name Ed next to a computer. Click and expand it. Expand your default web site. Do you see the document listed you are trying to get?

Have you loaded the .Net archetecture on your machine? What service pack do you have? I had my machine get curropted from third party security software once. Do you have third party security? iris scanner?

Well, I thought all that got loaded onto my machine when I loaded the NT service pack that installed the IIS and the webserver.

Should I be looking for one to download?

You don't have to have the .net stuff. I was try to narrow down your system. I really don't know whats wrong. Do you have both PWS and the Internet Information stuff(the component from the win2k cd) loaded on the same machine? If so I would uninstall PWS.

How do I uninstall that independent of the IIS? I thought it got installed on my machine when I installed IIS.

BTW, thanks for the help, I know you gave it a good shot. Im just having bad computer karma today. :)

PWS and the full blown information server are 2 different things. PWS is usually loaded on a home version os like me or 98. Hopefully someone with better windows admin skills will know the answer.

Your should try installing Server Extension by starting IIS Manager, right click on your site or virtual site and select configure server extension from the option there.

Go through the procedure here :

Hope that helps.
