Hi all,

Can anyone help with a problem which is driving me mad at the moment.
I am trying to run IIS on Win XP SP3. This isn't for anything
serious like running a webserver for the outside world to see, just to
do and check my coding offline.

However whenever I try to run a page (even the default pages in
Inetpub) I get the following error:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0201'

Invalid Default Script Language

The default script language specified for this application is invalid.


I have looked at a lot of links and followed the various suggestions
and fixes that people have suggested (eg changing the default language
to jscript and back again, uninstalling and reinstalling IIS,
registering the dlls manually, reinstalling the scripting engine etc)
but nothing seems to work at all.

If anyone has any advice or a link which will help me go through all
possible steps, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Dee

Thanks but these were two of the main links that I tried to work
through - none of the solutions seem to work in my case.

Did you try this part from the link
(http://msmvps.com:80/blogs/bernard/archive/2006/04/03/88985.aspx) the OP
posted

7) Typically, if you have followed all the previous steps you should no
longer see the same error message. Just in case, you missed some of the
configurations in earlier steps, you can then temporary make the
iusr_computername or your defined request user account to the local
administrators group. Take note, this is just for troubleshooting purpose!
You should NOT grant the default anonymous account with local administrative
rights, and make sure after the troubleshooting you remove the account for
the administrators group.
The idea behind this is to check if adding the user to this administrators
group fixes the error, if yes, it is confirmed that there are yet permission
issues that not being addressed or overlooked in previous steps. After
removing the account from the administrators group, you can then get Filemon
and Regmon from sysinternals.com to trace the permission issue.

Thanks for the reply - Yes I have tried this (ie adding IUSR_
(compname) to 'administrators' on my system.

...and no, it did not resolve the problem.

I found another interesting tibit

I had the same problem..Tried and tried to get IIS to work then I found if you cilck on the folders containing your asp files and goto properties, click the web sharing tab and make sure your folder is shared [mine wasn't]

BINGO - once this was corrected it worked fine
