I built a website use asp pages on my new 2003 server. I
enabled asp because by default it is disabled... What
else needs to be done to enable IIS 6 to serve the
pages. Currently I'm getting error 500 internal server
error. I also enabled parent paths and buffering.

If anyone has instructions on what needs to be turned on
to serve a website that is not static pages that would be
great!

Regards,
Scott

That should do it... make sure the site allows scripts. Do you get any
errors in Event Viewer?



Thanks.

Hello,

You do not have to do anything else. Please disable Friendly HTTP Errors in
your browser, so you get a more informative error message than the general
"500 internal server error".

Disable parent paths and re-write your application to use
virtual pathing as parent pathing can be exploited.

You need to see the actual error code to know what to do. This is done in
two ways:
1. Disable IE's "Show Friendly HTTP Errors" so that you see the actual error
code
2. Look in the web logs for the error code that ASP records for that page

Once you determine the actual error code, then we can try to resolve that
issue. You should reset all the other configurations you've done (like
parent paths and buffering) back to the original setting because the
defaults values are more secure.

The right way to do all this is to get all information about the problem and
then do the minimum steps necessary to resolve the exact issue. Arbitrarily
tweaking settings "until something works" is a bad idea -- you may have gone
down the wrong path initially, either in security, functionality, or
reliability.
