Cannot test a simple asp page

Hi all.
I have installed iis 5.1 on my windows xp..then installed asp.net framework...but still i am not able execute a simple asp page..regular html pages works...

what errors, if any, are you getting?

You're probably having the same problem as me. Here's a link to the thread I made, try some of the things that are mentioned in it. Especially the 4th post in thread about having your files in the inetpub/wwwroot directory. That worked for me.

Have you tried using IIS to create a web application on the folder that you have the asp page?

Hope this helps.

I am also having this trouble.

When I try to open ever the localstart.asp I get a 'page can not be displayed' 500.1 page.

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046)
Permission denied: 'GetObject'
/localstart.asp, line 40

Here is where I currently am at.

I try to load the test page that comes with IIS, localstart.asp, with http://localhost:8080, I have apachy on port 80.

This brings up a promt, enter user name and password. This prompt won't take anything. Even if I set up a user name os my computer's name and give it a password it won't take it. If I just click out of the promt it promts once more then goes to the error page,

HTTP 401.2 - Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server configuration
Internet Information Services

The fix for this is to 'implement' one of the authentication methods.

So I guess my question is 'how do I sucessfuly set up an authentication method'? I have read that IIS is suposed to work 'out of the box'. I am not finding this.

IIS 5.1 does work out of the box. You should create a virtual directory for your web files and not use the web root. The IIS management console has settings where you control the IIS authentication model.
