how to enable IIS to run asp scripts
- Thread starter gwillr
- Start date
Depending on your error depends on the issue. First off everyone requires change permissioin to the winnt\system32\inetsrv directory.
This will enable asp to function.
To find out the exact error you are getting turn off friendly http errors in your internet explorer.
The error you are seeing is very generic.

I am also unable to run asp files on IIS 5.1. Although new to IIS and FrontPage I am an experienced VB and Access programmer. I have spent hours researching this so any help to break through this hurdle would be greatly appreciated.
My current settings
1.0.0.0 XP Settings
1.1.0.0 Inetsrv properties for C:\windows|system32\inetsrv
1.1.1.0 Web Sharing tab
1.1.1.1 Share is set to "Default Web Site"
1.1.1.2 "Do not share this folder" is checked
2.0.0 IIS 5.1 Properties
2.1.0 Virtual Directory Tab
2.1.1 When connecting to this resource the content should come from: "A directory located on this computer" is checked.
2.1.2 Local Path is set to a virtual directory
2.1.3 All boxes are checked i.e. Script source access, Read, Write
2.1.4 Execute Permissions set to “Scripts Only”
Application Protection set to “Medium (pooled)”
2.2.0 Directory Security Tab
2.2.1Performance is set to “Use custom settings”
2.2.2 Client scripting is set to VBScript
3.0.0 Front Page Settings
3.1.0 Page Options
3.1.1 Compatibility Tab: Browsers is set to “Both Internet Explorer and Navigator”
3.1.2 Browser versions is set to “Custom”
3.1.3 Servers is set to “Microsoft Internet Information Server 3.0 and later”
3.1.4 Checked “Enabled with Microsoft Front Page Server Extensions”
3.1.5 Technology: All check boxes are checked i.e. ActiveXControls, VBScripts, Dynamic HTML, Frames, Active server pages and others
Test case is:
<html>
<body>
<h1>This is just html text</h1>
<br>
<%
response.write("If I can see this then ASP works"
%>
</body>
</html>

well, noleson, I have since solved the problem, so lets hope that yours is the same as mine.
It wasnt really a problem at all. IIS qwas set up correctly as installed. no changes were needed. (check access permissions tho in the web properties in IIS to see that scripts are enabled)
i was copy and pasting my text from other help sites into my editor. it was also copying all kinds of other "formatting" code that messed up the VBScript syntax. when i actually manually had typed the code, click save-as,(not just "save", it ran just fine. also, your explorer error messages can tell you a lot about the poss. causes of the problem
