403.1 or 404 errors

W23 server running two different sites. One is based on ASP.NET and works great.
The other site runs ASP.

If I go in Internet Information Services Manager on the ASP site, Home Directory
tab, and set "Execute permissions" to Scripts Only, or even Scripts and
Executables, I get a 404 error. If I set it up "Execute permissions" to None,
the error message is a 403.1

I'm at a loss why this is happening.

Hello,

Windows Server 2003 is locked down by default. This means that ASP files
will not be executed unless you have explicity allowed it. If you have not
allowed it, it will generate a 404 status code, with a status code of 2.

To solve this, follow these instructions:

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

Good Luck!

That was a little unclear - not enough sleep
ASP.NET will work, ASP will produce a 404
