VERY new to ASP, http 401.5 error

D

DaveS

I've been trying to start out learning some ASP and I've been trying to
create the classic 'Hello world' program. I'm running the ASP pages on some
webspace I have, rather than on my computer. Everytime I try and run the asp
page it brings up a HTTP 401.5 error.

"HTTP Error 401.5 - Unauthorized: Authorization failed by an ISAPI/CGI
application.
Internet Information Services (IIS)"

I'm certain the webspace hosting the asp page allows asp pages (especially
since the company is called 'asp-host'!). I'd appreciate any help in
understanding why this is happening and how I might fix it.

Hard to say. Look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/906474, which came
from this search result:
http://www.google.com/search?source...LD:en&q=HTTP+401.5+site:support.microsoft.com

You are probably going to need to ask your host company for support for
this. It's an IIS configuration issue, not an ASP issue per se.

could you please provide your source code. cause running a hello world
program shouldnt spit out those kind of errors, cause this error
normally shows up when you go in advance scripting not "hello world"
scripting if you know what i mean.

Here's the code I used...

<% @ Language=VBScript %>
<html>
<%
Response.Write("Hello World!") %>
</html>

Runs fine here, perhaps your world is gone?

Hi,
Try doing the following
1. Remove the first line of the code "<% @ Language=VBScript %>" then
rerun the code.
and then
1. goto Start > Run
2. type in CMD and press enter
3. after the black window apears type the following command: iisreset
/restart
after it restarts successfully run the page after removing the line i
told you to remove.
if in the CMD window it gave you errors when trying to run the command
"iisreset /restart" then copy the error and paste it here to have a
look at it.

if this didnt work
2. try reinstalling your IIS, and then run the code with and without
the line.


Hope this helps


Best Regards

Just to let you know I managed to get hold of the technical support for the
company hosting my website and they have fixed this problem.
