cant run asp file from subdir of Web root dir

[Ed]

Hello,

I took a course in asp about 2 years ago and I was
practicing with IIS 5.0. Then I put it down for a while.
Now trying to get back to it. I can't run asp files from
subdirectories of my root directory, but I can run asp
files from the root directory of my website and I can run
htm files from the subdirectories. If I run

localhost/mytest.asp

this will run, and if I run

localhost/subdir1/mytest.htm

this will also run

But if I try to run

localhost/subdir1/mytest.asp

this won't run. But it used to run. I have a directory
called C:\MyWeb that I assigned as the root directory in
IIS Manager. What do I need to do to get my asp files to
run in the subdirectories of the root directory of my
website?

Thanks,
Ed

If it makes any difference, I also took a course in
asp.net last year and loaded vs.net2003 on this server. I
created another virtual dir for asp.net stuff. I can run
my regular asp stuff from the .net virtual dir OK (along
with the asp.net stuff). But I not only can't run my
regular asp stuff from the original web dir, I can't edit
or paste anything into the original dir either. I get the
message "Access denied...Not authorized...etc"

Is there something I need to reset in IIS Manager?

Thanks,
Ed

what do yuo meen by "cant run"? what errors are you getting if any?

Page can't be displayed. Problem with the page

So I try to edit the page in this directory but then I get
the error message - "Access Denied - not authorized,
etc". I can copy files from this dir (this dir is not a
virtual dir but the Home directory) but I can't paste
files to this dir or do any editing here.

I created another virtual directory and I can edit the asp
file here and fix the problem and display it. I am just
wondering if there is a configuration issue with the
original home directory (I have been tweaking this server
left and right for stuff) or do I have a virus or what? I
also have a problem with my smtp virtual dir - I used to
be able to send emails from it a few months ago
(legitimate - not spam or anything like that), but now I
can't. I have to hook up directly (reference directly in
my apps) to the company's official smtp server; can't
alias my virtual smtp server anymore. Even a few months
ago everything was OK (and then I quit working with it for
a while). The pages that work, still work in that dir but
I don't have rights there anymore. I have an
administrator account on this server, and I'm the only one
who uses it (although the I.T. Dept maintains it). Is it
a virus, did I get locked out, or do I need to reconfigure
something?

Thanks,
Ed

Sounds like an NTFS permissions issue at this point to me at least.
