ASP Page on WSS Site, why dont they work?

Scott Townsend · Apr 20, 2005

I have the following code in a file called test.asp and when I run it I get
'Test'... Is there something about running .ASP Pages on a Web that is
running Windows Sharepoint Services?

Thanks,

Should work. Did you enable ASP in the web service extensions?

With IIS6, ASP is disabled by default. You need to explicitly turn it on:

Thank you guys for your replies.

Though I do have other webs on the server that are running ASP pages. And
I've also checked the ASP Web Service Extension.

Its not like it is not executing the code, the HTML portion of the ASP pages
are getting displayed, its just like the ASP code is not getting Executed.

I'm wondering if it has to do with the fact that it is a WSS site and all
the other pages are .ASPX or HTML pages...

Thanks,

If you "view source" do you see the ASP code?
Try a page with only VBScript on it.

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

What do you get?

Page returns nothing, its completely blank.

If I do a View Source, I get:

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

Your server is not processing ASP scripts. You will need to check your IIS
settings.
Make sure that ASP is enabled and that .asp and .asa extensions are mapped
to asp.dll

Thank you for your reply...

I've checked the http://server/BlockedFileType.aspx Blocked File Types, and
ASP is not listed. ASA, is however

On the Application Configuration, ASP files are mapped to:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll
Though the verbs are limeted to: GET,HEAD,POST,TRACE

Hmmm

Thanks,

That is correct.

That's as far as my knowledge of IIS6 goes. You might want to ask on an IIS
newsgroup.

Have you seen this link yet

Thank you for the Reply... Though I think I found the issue. You cant
really have ASP and ASP pages on the same site without excluding the ASP
folder from the WSS Site.

I followed this to get a folder to run ASP files:

Though now I cannot get that folder to show up in FrontPage to allow me to
edit the pages... )-;
