Cannot browse APS pages: 404 - File or Directory not found

Hi All,

I am currently trying to connect to an OLAP cube through HTTP and it is not
quite working as expected. I believe that the problem is related to the fact
that the web site/IIS (6.0) is not serving ASP pages properly and generates
an error 404 (processing of msolap.asp required to access cube via HTTP).

The problem only happens with ASP pages i.e. there is not problem when
browsing HTML pages located in the same directory. Has anyone seen this
problem before or knows how to resolve it?

The server on which IIS is running is 2003 standard edition.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

FL

Hello,

IIS 6.0 is locked down by default. This means that dynamic content such as
ASP files will not be executed until you (the administrator) have
explicity allowed it. Only static content will be served by default.

To allow ASP files:

Click Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Internet Information Services
Manager
Expand <servername> and click Web Service Extensions
In the right pane, right click Active Server Pages and select Allow

Problem resolved... For those who might be interested, the problem was due to
the fact that ASP was set to 'Prohibited' in Web Service Extensions.
