Cannot view ASP pages in server 2003 R2

[brockj]

I have no idea what is going on, but here is the deal. Setting up a new web server, and the only difference between this one and our others is this one is R2, I am not aware of any major difference regarding IIS (though I could be way off). Basically put out a quick html page (Hello World!!) and everything worked great, put out a simple asp, and all I get is the page cannot be found? The file is there, even tried 3 other ones, nothing! Any thoughts as to what I may be missing?

Sorry, long day and just can't think anymore....

event logs? Can you turn logging up?

this is where apache + tail make life easy, as I'm not sure if you can find/use those logs easily. My first guess would be does it know that ASP is a valid page, and have permissions to access/run that code?

Are scripts enabled for that web site in IIS?
Is IIS looking for the correct "Default Document" name? (i.e. default.asp or default.aspx)

UseNet search with one or two other things to check - problems that others had with R2 and .ASP pages not found.

"Please open Add/Remove Windows components, in Application Server make sure
ASP.net has been installed. Then please open IIS mmc, in Web Service
Extensions folder, verify ASP.NET service extension is set to Allowed.

If ASP is also required, you should enable Active Server Pages web service
extension as well. IIS6 no longer serves any ISAPI/CGI extensions which are
not marked as allowed."

Well I figured it out...when I went in to check for asp.net it was installed, dug a bit deeper into it and active server pages was not. Wasn't even thinking that I did a quick display and only did a .asp NOT .aspx page...

Thanks for the help, like I said, yesterday was a LONG day....
