Server Application Error after IIS is installed

Hi,

I have a Windows 2000 Pro machine on SP3. I installed IIS
WWW server and FTP server, after installation I typed
http://localhost into browser and got:

Server Application Error
The server has encountered an error while loading an
application during the processing of your request. Please
refer to the event log for more detail information. Please
contact the server administrator for assistance.

I am positive this is not a permission issue, I copy some
jpg and html files into wwwroot folder and they showed up
in browser without problems, problems seem to be limited
to asp files only.

In IIS admin tools, "Home Directory" tab, "Execute
Permissions" is set to "Script Only", I tried to use
different settings, no go either.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in Advance

And what did the event log have to say?

One suggestion: I had the same problem. In my case I solved it by
reinstalling IIS then turning off my firewall. After removing the blocking
entry that was in the firewall, http://localhost now works correctly.
