question about IIS and ASP

[danielle.m.manning]

I am using IIS 6.0 and plain old ASP. My IIS server is for
development, and is currently running different websites under
different virtual directories. Most of these websites use ASP.NET, but
we have a client on an old technology, and we wanted to put work for
them under the same website in a different virtual directory.

I set the virtual directory up successfully, and can access my site
via:

http://localhost/mynewclient/default.html

where default.html is just a "hello world" page. Comes up just fine.
The problem is, if I were to rename this page which contains html to a
..asp extension -- i get a 404 error. Is there something special I need
to do in IIS to allow the asp extensions to be run successfully?

Thanks for any insight,

Danielle

Let me be clarify by saying that I actually have another VERY simple
asp page in the same directory which gives me a 404 error. There are
no database connections, no includes...ther e is nothing to this page.
The only thing that distinguishes it from the html page is that it is
has a .asp extension instead of a .html extension, and I try to access
it like this

http://localhost/mynewclient/default_asp.asp

Yes, in the IIS MMC you need to go to the Web Service Extensions folder and
enable ASP.

THANK YOU!! That was it -- since all the other sites were ASP.NET, ASP
was not enabled. thanks!
