Win2003 Server IIS6 Problems with SHTML

Hi, I have just recently been working on transfering my website over to a new Windows 2003 server, from a Windows 2000 Server, however i have run into one big problem that could be a complete pain, in Windows 2000 it let me use shtml in files with the .asp extensions which would have a command like this <!--#include virtual="index.htm" --> for example, however now on all those files i simply get an error because of that.

When I change the extensions of the pages that don't need asp scripts, it works, but I can't change the extensions on some because they need asp as well to work. I need a way to get this to work correctly, if anyone has any suggestions please speak up 🙂

What kind of error are you getting?

IIS6 is very locked down.. so you may need to enable a thing or two.. or give more specific permissions..
 
By default IIS6 will not server up ASP pages. In the default install it will only server static web pages. You need to install the ASP part of IIS6 and then turn it on. IIS6 was a complete re-write from IIS5. You might want to do some reading on IIS6.

Here's a good article on the changes made to IIS6.
 
Well I just went back to IIS5, i never had any problems with it, I just upgraded, to be up to date, but there were even more problems in 2003 that i ran into, so I'm going to wait till microsoft gets some stuff fixed up compatibility wise, before i upgrade.
