IIs Won't Serve ASP

Complete newbie to IIs and ASP (come from the Apache/Cold Fusion world ). I've created a very simple ASP test page:

<% Response.Write "This is a test ASP page." %>

But when I access the page, it just displays the page as text, instead of processing the ASP. I've looked at a half-dozen Microsoft KB articles, but still no luck. I'm not getting an error, it's just not processing.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

A couple things: First make sure you have created a virtual directory for the asp file. Next, you must view the file using the web server, as in http://localhost/mysubweb/mypage.asp

You must allow script execute permissions on the file.

If you ran urlscan or the iis lockdown you may have disabled asp processing.

Doug,

Thanks for the tips. I'm not running IIs Lockdown or URLscan and I created the virutal directory (per your suggestion) and still no luck. I'm missing something obvious.

What version of windows/iis are you using?

For testing purposes disable any antivirus script blocking, firewall software, etc. You might look in the IIS MMC and verify that .asp files are mapped to asp.dll (look around in the settings and you'll find where file extensions are mapped).

If you weren't an administrator user when you installed IIS uninstall, log in as an admin, reinstall.

Doug,

I viewed properties of my test.asp file and it shows an association with FrontPage. I looked in the IIs MMC for the dialog to ensure .asp files are mapped to asp.dll but couldn't find the dialog. Suggestions?

Thanks for the help.
