ASP pages don't work on W2003 Server

Ian
I have a Windows 2003 server running IIS6.0

It has a number of ASP.NET sites running on it.

I'm trying to instal a legacy classic ASP site, but trying to access and
pages with the .asp suffix produces a "The system cannot find the file
specified." page, or when run locally a 404.

Interesting to note that when I make default.asp my default content page and
browse to /mydomain/ rather then /mydomain/default.asp, this page works
fine.

Thanks
Ian

If you want to run ASP apps, you need to enable the ASP web service
extension. In Internet Services Manager, click Web Services Extensions,
select "Active Server Pages" and click the Allow button.

On my machine (W2003) I had Sharepoint portal server running, just the default settings after setup together with .NET 2003. Now I tried out to install Whidbey.

I wrote a monitoring program for IIS servers ( each Site under the IIS /service/ is known as a *server* ). This code (below) works on w2k, but not on w2003 and I think it might just be naming conventions. In w2k, each new site is indexed in active directory like: W3SVC/1 W3SVC/2

Hi group, The first visit to a newly created aspx page is always slow since it has to be compiled once. Sequential visits are much faster. We've tested our .NET webapp on two different machines : (a) Windows 2000 / IIS5 and (b) Windows 2003 / IIS6. During this testing, we noticed that Windows 2003 seems to remove the compiled pages when it's not accessed recently (I think about 30 minutes).

I have a system that was originally developed in asp - the pages are saved in SQL (there are over 10,000 pages) and saved to a temp directory in the server when requested by a client. I have updated this system and changed the pages that are saved to the server as aspx - everything works fine and pages can be served - but Its not impossible for a single client to request 100 plus pages in one session - as each page is requested it is...

Our webhost (www.usbusinessweb.net) had a W2K IIS5 server crash after a scheduled hard-boot occurred during a ms-security patch install overnight. They couldn't get the server working again so they transferred our site www.orbisoft.com to a new W2003 IIS6 server they set up. That was a week ago. Since that transfer, all of our ASPX pages that use Access2000 databases have stopped working.

Hi all, I have .NET framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed in the same server. I had some web pages developed in Visual Studio.NET 2003 and some inline code web pages before (framework 1.1) .

Folks: Thank you all for your replies. I'll reply briefly to each key point: Thanks! You are probably correct. I wanted to be aware of other options, that's all. Part of what got me in this mess is not finding out enough before I jumped in.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
