ASP & Dot Net

[IndyGill]

Hi

I have two websites that have been developed, one using (.asp) ASP and the other in dot net (.aspx). I was intending to join the two sites together and put them on the same web server. However I have noticed a problem in how the Dot Net framework works.

I intend the sites to be hosted on a Windows 2000 Server web server which has the dot net framework installed. However when i run the site on the 2000 Server it does not like the normal asp pages. I spoke to the developer of the site and he developed the site on Windows 2000 Advanced Server and it worked fine. I tested the asp site on a normal windows 2000 machine without the dot net framework installed and it works fine.

Is there some sort of special configuration to get both .asp and .aspx pages working on the same virtual. I would be grateful for any help on this

Thanks in advance

I am running both aspx and asp on a w2k profesional.
After installing I had to set the error 500-100 back to what it was supposed to be (on a develop machine):
1) Add virtual directory to your site called IISHelp and this points to c:\winnt\Help\iisHelp (should be there allready)
2) Right click on site root and click properties
3) Custom error tab - scroll down to HTTP error 500;100
4) Edit properties on this
5) Change Message Type to URL
6) Change URL to /iisHelp/common/500-100.asp
7) Click OK, OK
8) Done - you now get a detailed error.


You should allso check in IIS if you have the correct rights (if you get a not allowed error).
What is the error that you are getting?

I have tried the above and all the IIShelp virtual is already setup like above.

The error message I get is HTTP 500 Internal Server Error

html pages work fine as do aspx pages but I just cant get asp pages to run.

Any help would be grately appreciated

Is the directory where the asp files are lokated set up the same way?

Hi

Yes I have checked the virtual where the asp files are situated and it is set up as the above. But I still get an HTTP 500 - Internal server error

I don't think this wil help because I had id checked in my IE as wel but you can try this:

In Internet Explorer 5.0 go to Tools/InternetOptions/Advanced and and uncheck "Friendly HTTP messages." This will cause your browser to stop giving you the HTTP 500 Internal Server Error message and pinpoint the actual problem with your script

There must be a normal error there todo with server rights, missing dsn, mdb file location or whatever. But as long as there is only the 500-100 all you can do is gues.
