ASP page can't post to IIS 5.0 Server

Re: ASP page can't post to IIS 5.0 Server

After unchecking friendly errors, what exactly do you see in your browser?
If you're truly seeing nothing of use, go into the IIS management console,
pull up the properties of your site or application, go to the Home Directory
tab, click the Configuration button under "Applicatio n Settings," go to the
App Debugging tab, and verify that "Send detailed ASP error messages to
client" radio button is selected.

Re: ASP page can't post to IIS 5.0 Server

It only says:

HTTP 404 - File not found
Internet Information Services

Which really narrows it down.

Re: ASP page can't post to IIS 5.0 Server

Your 500 error turns into a 404 after unchecking friendly errors? :| Are
you sure you have the URL right? What about a static .htm page in the same
directory? Create test.htm and test.asp in the same directory, with these
contents:

test.htm:
<html><body>I 'm in test.htm</body></html>

test.asp:
Response.Write "<html><body>I' m in test.asp</body></html>"

Can you load either page?

It actually does. Since you had a 500 error and now it's a 404, then
the probl;em is now different. Check and see if the file is actually
there to be found by the account accessing it.

Then, when you get that fixed, repost the full error for the 500
error.

Re: ASP page can't post to IIS 5.0 Server

I figured it out.

I had the URLScan asapi filter running. I had removed it
earlier in the day, but I had forgotten to restart the IIS
server.

It took a while for my brains to start working; so it was
later in the day when I finally remembered, to recheck the
URLScan log. At which time I noticed it was denying
access, and that a restart was necessary to get the
desired effect.

Damn.

Thanks for the help though, and sorry for the trouble.
