IIS 6.0 unable to process asp pages

I recently did a TeamSite 6.5 install on windows server 2003 running IIS 6.0 as the proxy server. Everything went fairly smoothly except for the fact that I receive 404 errors when I click on and ASP page within Teamsite. Regular html pages and server side includes work fine... It's just the ASP pages.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Have you searched the KBs ? threads here in devnet ?
Tried the debug mode and looks at the logs ?

There a bunch of information on this out there.

Does IIS properly render the asp file normally ? Try going through port 81

http://server:81/iw-mount/path/blah.asp

We had the same issue with TS6.1 and TS6.5 on win2k3 with IIS 6. Basically it is a problem with the IWOV IIS auto config script (the post reboot script). IWOV support is supposed to file a bug for this.

The only workaround I know is to delete your default website, then manually recreate one. After that re-create the iw-mount virtual directory. And manually configure it to allow anonymous access using the TSIMP_hostname user id. In our environment, you have to give this user id a password, too. Make sure this user id already exist on your local system and is in the TeamSite Web Preview group.

Good luck.

I finally got it to work. It was the tspostreboot script. I ended up commenting out the following line:
call_system("\"$scriptsdir\\adsutil.vbs\"", "set", "$iiid/AllowPathInfoForScriptMappings", "1");

I re-ran the script, and now everything works fine. I'm just hoping there are no repercussions for having this value set to false.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

I tried commenting that line out but I am still getting 404 errors.

TeamSite 6.1 SP1
Windows 2003 Enterprise
IIS 6.0

I have ASP Pages Allowed in the Component Services Configuration.

No asp page works within TeamSite when I attempt to preview it. I also tried port 81 like I see in some of the pther posts. That didn't work either.

Any ideas?

Hi,

look at your IIS Manager, section "Web Service Extensions".
What's the status for "Active Server Pages"?

The way we got it working (IIS 6, TS 6.1) is like this (this assumes you have a default install, backing store on Y:\ etc - make sure you back everything up before you try this - all care, no responsibility lol):

1. Make sure TSIMP_servername user has a password and is in the TeamSite Web Preview group
2. Make sure ASP, .NET etc are all allowed in the Web Extensions section of IIS
3. Delete the Default Web Site in IIS
4. Create the Default Web Site again, with the following settings:
Name: Default Web Site
Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot
Port: 81
Allow default permissions, plus execute ISAPI and CGI scripts (dunno if this helps or not)
Add index.asp to the list of default documents
Add the SSI ISAPI filter as follows
Go to IIS Admin
Right click Default Web Site > Properties > ISAPI Filters > Add, give a name like "iwrewrite" and point to <iw-home>\lib\iwproxy_isapi.dll
The directory authentication for the Default Web Site should be set to Anonymous User, and this should be the TSIMP_<hostname> user
Add a virtual directory to Default Web site called “iw-mount” that maps to Y:\ that has default permissions plus execute ISAPI and CGI scripts
Click Apply
5. From the command line execute: iisreset /restart

what is the MIME type for the .asp extension? is it html/text?
i followed the instructions above and it doesn't work.

This worked for me as well. In hinesight.... I think it was that the iw-mount didn't have execute ISAPI/CGI permissions, only scripts.. But there may have been other TS-related things behind the scenes that this fixeds as well. I'm on W2k3, no SP, TS 6.5 SP1 and (for the record) was having the EXACT problem the original poster mentioned.

Thanks!

Should we use "ISUR_hostname" insteads of "TSIMP_hostname" ?

Absolutely not.

The TSIMP_hostname is built into Teamsite. While you can configure TeamSite to not use it, it is best not to or you will be fighting against the system to do something it's not meant to. You'll just cause yourself more headache than TeamSite already causes (heh).

Thanks Michael,

I try to seach all the doc. but i cannot find any info on "TSIMP_hostname"

Interesting... I couldn't find any mention of it. That's a little strange. I searched all the 6.0 and 6.5 documents and couldn't find anything about the TeamSite Web Preview group, except for the mention of it in the administration manual regarding the "webserver_group" line in iw.cfg, or the TSIMP user. It's a little annoying that this isn't documented. I guess I never had to look for it before...
