ASP pages not working

[James]

Our windows 2000 server will not allow any browser to
access asp pages.

I have tried browsing to the following url:

http://localhost/iisHelp/iis/misc/default.asp

What appears in the browser is:

The page cannot be displayed

http 500 - Internal Server Error

We have stopped and restarted the IIS Server, the server
itself, and I have checked permissions on files.

Any further suggestions would be appreciated.

1) See the FAQ:

Why do I get a 500 Internal Server error for all ASP errors?
http://www.aspfaq.com/show.asp?id=2109

2) Disable Norton's script blocking

3) When you ran the IIS Lockdown Tool, did you enable the ASP
extension? If not, modify your URLScan.ini to allow the extension.

4) When in need, Google the archives...

The problem is on the server side and is preventing all
browsers from viewing all asp pages.

Hey James...

Jeff's response was as follows:

1. Client-side you need to make modifications to your browser setup so you
can see the FULL error message coming from the server.
2. Server-side.
3. Server-side.

Your response leads one to believe you have dismissed the advice you were
given to help you solve your issue because you possibly thought it was
pointing you in the wrong direction.

I understand. And when you step through the solutions I posted, you
may too.

This topic comes up several times a week. The answers I posted are
99% of the solutions. If you happen to have that rare 1% that isn't
solved, then you'll need to prove it to us by following through these
first. Especially number one, since until you actually read and
follow that FAQ, we can't possibly provide you with a solution.

If you just dismissed my post as irrelevant, then you're on your own
looking for an answer. If you followed them, I apologize. But then,
if you followed at least number one, you'd have responded differently.

Yes, and if you listen to the advice you've been given, and fix the problem
in the client-side browser that is making it impossible for you to debug,
you will have a better opportunity to fix the problem.

Jeff,

Appologies, I guess I was just looking to fix the problem
as quickly as I could and did not pay attention to the
things I should.

I have gone through the list you provided and found the
following:

1 I read and followed the FAQ:
I have enabled error descriptions and the result is:
"The requested resource is in use."

2 Not able to disable Norton Script Blocking - Could not
find the option in Management interface. I should note
that we have had Norton installed for the last 3 years,
and this has never been a problem before. We have not
changed any Norton settings in the last month and yet the
asp pages have stopped working in the last 2 weeks.

3 Checked lockdown tool, ASP pages are enabled.

Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

James.

Jeff,

Just noticed a different error message:
"The remote procedure call failed and did not execute."

Thought this might help narrow it down...
