We recently installed a new Windows 2003 Small Business Server. Someone else actually did the install and I realized that our internal web applications were not getting the Session variable information they needed so I patched up the asp code enough to get by.

I compared the old system to the new system and previously the folder where the website asp code is located was set as an "Application" type folder within IIS. I changed this on the 2003 system and none of the pages display now. I get error 500.

Oddly enough "I" can see the pages and all works fine for me but no one else can. I thought this would be a simple permissions problem so I set Authenticated Users to have the same permissions as I did but no one can get to the pages.

I tested a plain HTML page and the users can see that fine. The page I am trying to display for testing purposes is a very plain asp page - no calls to SQL or anything fancy. Nothing. I am really stumped.

What am I missing? Something has to be set differently somewhere besides the permissions. I am really stumped.
