Enable ASP within IIS 5.0

Please note, I'm not a coder. Nor am I a web server admin. However both
responsibilities have fallen on my shoulders and I have to 'figure this out'.

Situation:
-- Windows 2000 Server SP4, IIS 5.0
-- Created a website with Dreamweaver.
-- The website has a form that is to be submitted via email.
http://www.tapastre.com/eventreservations.asp
-- Dreamweaver doesn't have built-in functionality like FrontPage which
'magically' makes that work. Instead, I have to use a 3rd party application
to process the form.
-- The form requires the web server to process asp pages.
-- HOW DO I MAKE THE WEB SERVER 'ACKNOWLEDGE' ASP?!?!

After hitting the Submit button I get an 'error' page - nothing specific,
nothing in logged in Event Viewer on either the client or the server side.
Just a plain white page that says "Errors found:". The 3rd party software
company is telling me to contact the website hosting company to find out if
they support asp. But I AM the 'website hosting company' and I can't figure
out how to 'enable' it!!

Oddly enough, the page IS .asp and it comes up.... so does that mean the web
server CAN 'read' .asp and it really is a config problem w/ the 3rd party
software?!

Any suggestions out there!? Is this something super simple, like putting a
check mark someplace?! I'm sorry if this is a novice question and you're all
rolling your eyes but I'm at a loss & would love a push in the right
direction.

Oh, and no. Going back to FrontPage is not an option. ;)

Thanks in advance!!!!

Re: Enable ASP within IIS 5.0

Hi,

ASP works by default on IIS 5.0. A white page that says "Errors found:"
does not come from IIS. IIS does not have such error message. So my
feeling is that there is a problem with this third party software.

You can easily verify that ASP works. Download this file:

http://www.gafvert.info/iis/zip/install_iis_6.zip

Save the asp-file in the wwwroot folder, and then navigate to it. It
should say "Hello World from ASP".

Re: Enable ASP within IIS 5.0

It worked - "Hello World from ASP".

Cool. Now I can go back to them & stand firm that I KNOW the web server
accepts asp & throw the ball back in their court.

Excellent - thanks SOOO much!
