I set a simple directory in explorer ex. (vdir) I put in the simple time.asp that everyone has seen I give rights to the Iusr account, then I go into int. srvcs mgr and create a virtual directory (virsite)with the one I created earlier as the home directory. I enter in
and I get "The page cannot be viewed, blah, blah blah. This is my time.asp code

<html>
<body>
This page was last refreshed on <%=now() %>
</body>
</html>
I don't know at this point to look at my browser or keep looking at the way I set up the directories. Any ideas would help thanks,

If you are not creating a virtual directory and put the file directly under c:\inetpub\ is it working?
What is the exactly error description?

The http 500 error is NOT file not found. It's an internal server error. It can appear if your server runs out of ressources, like if you open up a whole lot of connections to an access-db without closing them properly.

If your page only contains the code shown above, I think it's a bit strange...

Do you have any other pages that could bring your server to it's knees?

Try rebooting your machine and request this page (time.asp) before any others. This is not a bug - it's an undocumented feature...

Internal Server Error is also the pretty version of:
You have a problem in your script.

There is a more detailed version of the 500 error if you turn on the option to see detailed error messages (someone remind me where that is). Once you do so you will see where the error is located in your script rather than just the generic &quot;Uhm, it's broken, and I ain't tellin' you where&quot; message.

Well you can show the real error by going to the tools menu in your browser, then to options, then to the advanced tab, and uncheck the show friendly url's option. (Internet Explorer)
The real error I am getting is Object disabled, but I am unable to find any help on that error either.
