Hi, ok i have iis (5.0 i believe) running on a win2k adv svr. i am working n some asp pages for our corporate intranet. whenever i load the page i get "http 500 internal error" and nothing loads. it doesn't even work on the server. i have scripting and executing enabled, asp.dll is installed and registered ( as far as i can tell). i think i muct need to do something with the default application in the home directory tag, because thats the ony place i ever see asp mentioned, in the config section. i have been going crazy all morning long. i hope someone can help! thanks!

Jherr,

My suggestion is to place an html page in that directory to see if you are getting to that html page. Then rename that same page to test.asp. What do you get?

----test.html -----------
<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
<body>

<font color=&quot;blue&quot;> This is a test page
<%
' response.write &quot;ASP working&quot;
%>

</body>
</html>

JHerr,

The MSDN web site says that 500 is an internal error and gives no additional info. I guess you are at a dead and or else try to update with the latest if you can. Sorry.

Maybe there's a sight with more detailed instructions. i can't seem to find one anywhere though. i found one for iis4, but not 5. i'm at the end of my rope, so any help anyone could provide to steer me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Jherr,

I don't know if 3.0 supports ASP. You miught need to upgrade.
