Cannot create ASP File
I have Windows 2000 and recently included Internet Information Services. I
then created a simple ASP file and clicked on it. The Open With dialog appears asking me to select a program. I copied an existing ASP file, test.ASP from another computer where it runs successfully. When I copied it to my computer it changed to test.ASP auto file. The other computer runs Windows XP. I am not sure is this is the issue. I verified the IIS is up and running on my computer. Is there anything that can be done to correct this? >I have Windows 2000 and recently included Internet Information Services. I

Is there anything that can be done to correct this? already knows how to run an asp file. One cannot run an asp page by double-clicking it in Explorer. One has to use a browser to request it from a web server, so, the asp file needs to be put in a folder under inetpub/wwwroot and requested via http://localhost/foldername/test.asp -- Microsoft MVP -- ASP/ASP.NET Please reply to the newsgroup.

Rmtest.asp is the file, but I still got the message, page not found. Since I have never ran an asp file on this computer, do you know if there is anything else that has to be checked?

http://localhost/Rmtest01/RmHTMLtest.htm. It is totally irrelevant that it runs when clicking it in Explorer, except that it confirms its presence under wwwroot. Maybe you indirectly answered that question but I am not sure. So again: can you navigate to the html page in your browser by entering http://localhost/Rmtest01/RmHTMLtest.htm in the address bar? If not, then IIS may not be installed or configured properly. You say your machine is running Windows 2000? Can you run the IIS Manager applet? Can you see your website in IIS Manager? rmcompute wrote: Show quote > I mentioned that it worked with htm but it was when I clicked on it > and it went to: > C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Rmtest01/RmHTMLtest.htm > > When I typed > C:\localhost\Rmtest01/RmHTMLtest.htm it failed. > > "Bob Barrows [MVP]" wrote: > >> Can you run an html file in the same location" I.E., >> http://localhost/Rmtest01/RmHTMLtest.htm >> >> rmcompute wrote: >>> I typed http://localhost/Rmtest01/Rmtest.asp where Rmtest01 is the >>> folder and Rmtest.asp is the file, but I still got the message, page >>> not found.

This email account is my spam trap so I don't check it very often. If you must reply off-line, then remove the "NO SPAM" I checked the status of the IIS Admin Service and it is Started. I Right
clicked it and then clicked on Properties. On the Log On tab I checked Allow service to interact with desktop. I checked the Wold Wide Web Publishing Service and it has a status of Starting but there is no option available to start it. Does it remain as starting? I right clicked it and clicked on properties. On the Log On tab I checked Allow service to interact with desktop. Where does the system get told that directory http://localhost/ equates to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\. I think this may be where the problem is, but I could not find where on any of the properties that in either of the services where this information could be entered.

Yes. I also put the file in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ and tried to run as
http://localhost/Rmtest.asp but it still could not find the file. Could this be a security issue?
