Okay here's the deal. I'm building a website using ASP VBScript, in Dreamweaver 8.

I'm running on Windows Vista Business and I've installed all the IIS 7 stuff.

I'm running IE 7.0

Dreamweaver recognizes that I have all of the things necessary to run ASP pages (a database, a testing server etc.) but everytime I actually try to preview the page in my web browser. it starts to give me a 404.3 error message and then quickly changes to the following page:

It is going to the right location for my pages it just won't display them. I have no idea what to do to get it working! Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks for you time,

Thomas

[UPDATED] Okay I've narrowed the problem down. My pages will load but only if I haven't added any server behaviors to the page. As soon as I add a server behavior to the page, save it, and then re open it, Ineternet Explorer gives me that damn http 500 error! Can someone help me please?

Wow, this has got to be frustrating! OK, try something really simple to see if maybe dreamweaver is malfunctioning. Open notepad and type in:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <html>
  2. <head>
  3. <title></title>
  4. </head>
  5. <body>
  6. <%
  7. dim x
  8. x = "My web site is running asp scripts<br>"
  9. response.write x %>
  10. </body></html>
  11.  
then save as "test.asp" (you will need to include the quotes, notepad will append a different file extension otherwise). When you browse to this, what do you see?
