Simple ASP problem?

[bcap]

Hello,

I am a newbie to IIS and a rookie webmaster. =P I just installed IIS
and am trying to copy an Intranet to my local machine.


I have saved the files in my wwwroot folder. The code is classic
ASP. For some reason when I open the pages I am getting the "Page
Cannot be Displayed Error Message".


What is interesting is some of these .ASP pages are strigaht HTML, so
if I change the file extension to be .HTM it will work file, but hwen
it is .ASP I get ther error.


For example:


This will work: http://localhost/SiteHeader.htm
This will NOT: http://localhost/SiteHeader.asp


I know this might be vague, but anyone have any ideas why this might
happen?

If you are not using IIS6, then tell us what error you are getting. You
may need to turn off Friendly Errors to see the actual error message:
