asp_discuss thread: ASP page won't display


Message #1 by "John Chappelear" <jchappelear1@h...> on Sun, 17 Nov 2002 16:56:15
Whenever I double click on a file with the .asp extension, nothing happens.
If I right click and choose to open the file with Internet Explorer, 
nothing happens.
I have checked the file associations and IE6 is set to open files with 
the .asp extension.
I am using Visual Studio 6sp5, Windows 2000 Professional, IIS5, 
FrontPage2000.
FrontPage server extensions have been installed and configured, IIS is up 
and running.
I can open .htm and .html files by right clicking and sending to IE6.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,

There is no point in opening .asp files in IE directly by double clicking 
them. ASP files need to be processed by a web server, like IIS, so you 
should browse to them like this:

http://localhost/mypage.asp or http://localhost/myWebapp/mypage.asp

Cheers,

Imar
