ASP Classic Failing Simple Test In IIS7 (Vista Business Ed.)

ASP Classic Failing Simple Test In IIS7 (Vista Business Ed.)

am 11.01.2008 21:00:07 von myers.rw

When I try to run:



<br /> IIS 7 Testing Page w/ ASP Classic<br />


ASP Test


Today's date is <% response.write(Date()) %>



as a .asp file, I get the following error:

HTTP/1.1 New Application Failed

Clearly this is indicative of improper configuration, but can anyone
point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

As a side note, any ASP Classic application I try seems to do this.

Since you did not indicate what you could have configured incorrectly,
let's just start clean.

Uninstall IIS7. Remove all files and directories in %windir%
\system32\inetsrv and %systemdrive%\Inetpub

Install IIS7 with defaults:
Control Panel
Programs
Turn Windows Features On/Off
Checkmark by "Internet Information Services"
Drill down into:
World Wide Web Services
Application Development Features
Checkmark by "ASP"

If the default configuration does not work, then lets start looking at
what could be corrupting your system configuration to prevent ASP and
IIS from working, starting with Personal Security Products like
McAfee, eTrust, Norton, etc.

Microsoft tests the default installation without any 3rd party
applications and verifies that ASP works in that configuration -- so
if things don't work on clean installation, either the setup failed
(but you would see that in %windir%\IIS7.log), or you have 3rd party
applications preventing IIS/ASP from working.

For example, 3rd party applications locking down COM+ for "security
reasons", which would break functionality in IIS like ASP. The problem
is not that IIS failed to unlock COM+ -- it is the 3rd party locking
down your system that is causing issues. For example, it could run as
Administrator and deleted IIS from the hard drive for "security
reasons", and how is IIS supposed to defend itself against that?
