Win 7 and IIS
Peter Hoyt
This might sound a bit off topic but I use SQL server with Toolbook so for me it is worth asking here. This is even probably a very simple thing but I can't find the answer.
Here is the situation:
I collect student comments from my courseware and store the data in SQL server. I have a web site I use to review the comments.
I am trying to move the reporting web site to a new Windows 7 Ultimate computer that has IIS version 6.1. I can't seem to get the mime type for ASP pages to work. Every time I try to run the site's home.asp file in the browser, the file is downloaded instead of executed and Dreamweaver opens trying to edit the file. Clearly my IIS instance doesn't know what to do with this ASP file.
This all works perfectly well on my older Windows XP machine with IIS 5.1 and I think I have the MIME type set correctly on the new machine... but obviously, I'm missing something.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Can you point me towards an answer?
TIA

I haven't tried this yet, but I found this link (I'll probably be trying
this myself in a month or so), so share how it goes:

-In the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager click on the Web Service Extensions folder
-Here you will see that Active Server Pages are Prohibited (this is the default configuration of IIS 6)
-Highlight Active Server Pages and click the Allow button

That was a great link!! I think it worked... I only say that because now I
have a new problem to overcome but this was clearly forward progress. :-)
The only problem I had with the instructions on that site (at
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/ASP_and_Windows7.aspx) was in the third
step, the screen capture shows a "Enable 32-Bit Applications" property in
the Advanced Settings dialog that didn't appear in my view. Perhaps because
I'm running the 32 but version of Win7 already.
In any case, after following those instructions, the browser now attempts to
run the web page. Of course, the web page fails to load but that is my next
challenge. At least it isn't just downloading and trying to open the ASP
file! :-)
Next challenge: getting SQL Server 2000 to work properly. I don't have time
to migrate everything to SQL2005... and I sure hope no one tells me I have
no choice! :-)
Thanks!
Peter

In this case, IIS 6.1 was loaded. I couldn't find the Web Services
Extensions folder in this version of IIS. Fortunately, this is one of those
problems I face only when I build a new machine on a new OS or when
Microsoft forces me to update things. I think I've overcome this issue for
the moment. :-)
Thanks,
Peter

Great to know! I have two clients using a system I developed that still
uses classic asp and sql server 2000. I was planning to update it this year
to asp.net and sql server 2008, but they keep asking me to add new features
-- so that's pushed back one more year. I should think that if you're
running the 32-bit version of sql server 2000, it ought to work. But, even
so, I've got sql server 2005 running on a vista laptop and I sometimes use
it with the same front-end and asp pages for testing. So, if the 2000 is a
problem, don't despair.
Good luck!
Marty
