I very urgently need asnwer to this plzz z if anyone can
help me out i will be more than greatfull to him/her.
I have installed Win2K Server using the Win2k SBS CD ROM.
Now the prob is I have installed IIS but when I try to
run a .asp file from the browser it gives the error
mentioned in the subject. This is a standalone machine
with no network card. The settings that I have tried are
1. Properties of the default web site in IIS and the IP
address option was unassigned. Then documents tab has
indes.asp added in first place. Home dir is
c:\inetpub\wwwroot (I have my asp files in there) then
Execute permissions are scripts only. Thats all the info
I tried running the file in browser this ways
1. http:\\127.0.0.1\index.asp
2. http:\\localhost\index.asp
3. http:\\personal\index.asp (where personal is my comp
name).

Please email me the solution if possible. Your help will
be appretiated.
Thank you.

Shot in the dark --- this is something I encountered about a year ago ---
but I don't remember the details of what exactly I did --
So,

1. go to Adminstrative Tools > Internet Services Manager
2. drill down on your server name
3. right click on default web site, and click on properties
4. click on the Home Directory tab

Now look toward the bottom for two fields: 'Execute Permissions' and
'Application Protection'

I think it was the Application Protection field I changed, but I don't
remember. If it's set to Low or High, change it to Medium - or vice versa

Execute Permissions I have set to Scripts only

Good luck!

Let me shoot in the dark. At the Server 2003 class there is a click
you do to allow asp. I don't know if the IIS in Server 2000 has the
same thing. The guide says that IIS will give a 404 error. That click
was in the web server extensions.
