aspx pages working but not asp

[fperri]

Hi,

I hope this is the right forum to post this question. We recently had a tech guy come in and move our web server into a DMZ. Before he did this everything was working fine. We have worksheets that are in the wwwroot folder and are .asp pages, and then there is a folder in the wwwroot for a website we are building which are .aspx pages.

Before he moved the web server into the DMZ both .asp and .aspx pages were working. Now only the folder with the .aspx pages is working. When you pull up a .asp page you get the error "The website cannot display the page."

I am confused as where to start....

Does the new server have iis 6+ and require you to enable asp web extensions?

Yes, and I went in and enabled the asp web extensions and it still doesn't render .asp pages, only the .aspx.

If IE7 Tools>Internet Options>Advance d and suppress the "Show firendly HTML error messages", this will give you more info.

this is just a wild guess, but I recently had this problem installing an application that had worked ok in iis5 and porting to iis 6.

It turned out I needed to add a mime type for .vs as VB-Script.

IIS 6 did not enable vb scripts by default. java scripts were ok, and my aspx pages were therefore running. But asp pages posted an access denied error. I also in mapping one has to enable parent path.

It looks like the tech guy that came in and set up the DMZ must have changed something that created this issue. He came back in and did something (I didn't find out what) and now it is working ok.

Thanks guys for trying to help.
