ASP returning 404

Mohammed Hamama · Oct 26, 2006

Hi all,

I am using a windows 2000 server with IISLockdown and ISAPI_Rewrite
installed on it. I have 2 websites A & B. ASP pages on A are working
properly, but when placed one B they return 404 error. All other pages
such as txt, html, asp.net work fine on B. Both websites have the same
configuration, and use the same ISAPI filters.

A sample code that is not working is, file name test.asp:
<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<% response.redirect("URL")%>

Do you know what needs to be done to fix that?

Thanks,
Mohammed

Have you tried

Response.Redirect "fileThatActuallyExists.asp"

Or do you really have a file named URL?

What is the format of the URL? Can you give us an example?

My URL is "http://www.cnn.com"

The URL can stand for any URL. For example you can have it
http://www.cnn.com and it will still return the 404 page instead.

Mohammed, I seem te remember you were asking about:

<%
Response.redirect "http://www.cnn.com"
%>

Re: ASP returning 404

It seems to me ASP does not "return" anything in this sense,
it is the browser being redirected to some web page, isn't it?

ASP just sends a header entry [and a small piece of HTML for noncompliant
browsers] in a 302-Object-moved page stream sent to the requesting client
browser, advising the browser to redirect to an outside URL.

Did you inspect the header?

Use <http://www.rexswain.com/httpview.html> [or many others]

========================================

It should show something like this:

Receiving Header:
HTTP/1.1·302·Object·moved(CR)(LF)
Connection:·close(CR)(LF)
Date:·Sat,·28·Oct·2006·07:37:00·GMT(CR)(LF)
Server:·Microsoft-IIS/6.0(CR)(LF)
MicrosoftOfficeWebServer:·5.0_Pub(CR)(LF)

Cache-control:·private(CR)(LF)

End of Header (Length = 377)
• Elapsed time so far: 1 seconds
• Waiting for additional response until connection closes...

Total bytes received = 516
Elapsed time so far: 1 seconds

<head><title>Object·moved</title></head>(LF)
<body><h1>Object·Moved</h1>This·object·may·be·found·<a·
HREF="http://www.cnn.com">here</a>.</body>(LF)

Done

==========================================

So what is different in your case?
