ASP stopped working

[Matthew Ferri]

I am running Windows 2000 SP4 with Office 2000 SP3.

I have the problem that my localhost connection is not working for my ASP
pages of my FrontPage-generated local web site.

Yesterday everything was working properly. But now, the web server will not
serve HTTP://localhost/*.asp pages at all.
IE just hangs when I request the page.

My test web will serve FILE:\directory\*.asp pages, but without running the
ASP portion. The HTM is displayed but the ASP code is not displayed. This is
the exact same ASP page that will not be served at all when accessing it via
the HTTP://localhost function.

The are no COM features used within this page. The simple code for this ASP
page is listed at the end of this message.

Htm pages still work properly when requesting via either the FILE:\directory
and the HTTP://localhost/*.htm method.

I can "ping localhost" and it properly replys 127.0.0.1. I have network
access to the other machines in my local workgroup. Regular Internet access
works from this machine.

Article Q279729 "Web Pages Not Serving from IIS" did not have enough detail
for my version of this probem.

Article Q257267 "Unable to Serve ASP or HTML Pages" did not help.


Everything did work, so something changed. Unfortunately I do not know what
changed or a Q article number describing how to fix it. I do know that I
did not intentially change anything.

Thanks in Advance,
Matthew

If your ASP pages use Scripting.FileSystemObject, see

Matthew...

Now that we know what it's not doing, tell us what it is doing. Something
is being displayed or an error is being generated or a timeout occurs or
you're not waiting for it to time out. Please fill in the blanks.

If you have installed anything or updated anything or enabled anything, then
that might be relevant.
Windows updates, RTAV, personal firewall, IIS lockdown, etc.

This is probably more of an IIS server issue rather than an ASP one even
though asp files are not processing...

Thank you Aaron and Roland..

Number 2180 listed below solved the problem.
Even though I was not using FileSystemObject in the ASP pages that were
hanging, when I reset the "Script Blocking" check box, that fixed my
problem.
This is a personal workstation test box that I'm using to create this web
site before moving it to a production server.

Thanks,
Matthew
