ASP page does not run on Windows Server 2003

[Galaxy]

I have a simple asp page (just to display server time) on
the IIS running on Windows Server 2003 Standard version.
When I browse to the web site (actually just use same pc,
http:\\localhost\testsite), all html pages are fine. But
it displayed 'internal error 404' which means page not
found, when I view the asp page. Actually, None of asp
pages can run.
Do I have to activate any services before IIS can execute
asp page ? can anyone solve my problem ?


thanks

I know that in general, many features of Windows 2003 are turned off by
default, which is a switch from previous versions. You may have to go into
IIS and see if everything is running.

The default web site is running.
I put the asp page in a virtual directory under the
default web site. Any Idea ?
thanks

Open IIS Manager from Administrative Tools. Expand your computer node,
click on "Web Service Extensions", and make sure "Active Server Pages" is
set to the "Allowed" state.

Is there an FAQ on this? I'd expect that this is the kind of problem a
lot

of people would run into with Windows 2003 if they aren't aware of the
security stuff.

Working on it; I only have 6 hands.

I wasn't being critical, just offering a suggestion.

I know, hence the smiley.

Very nice.
Pretty quick, considering the limited number of hands you have.
