Chapter 6

I'm attempting to setup the Wildcard application mapping. I can't seem to get past the following error:

Code:

Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This type of page is not served. 
Description: The type of page you have requested is not served because it has been explicitly forbidden.  The extension '.asp' may be incorrect.   Please review the URL below and make sure that it is spelled correctly. 
Requested URL: /default.asp

Also, when I do this, the web site can't find the default content page(s). It returns a 404 error for '/'.

I have 'Active Server Pages' Allowed in the Web Service Extensions in IIS 6.0.

I've spent a good amount of time on this already, and at this point all my google searches turn up nothing.

Any ideas?

After much frustration I think I have finally found the source of the problem. IIS 6.0 has a nasty option that lets you make it behave like 5.0. IIS 5.0 = No cool wildcards.

Right click Web Sites in IIS
- Service Tab
-- Make sure that Run WWW service in IIS 5.0 isolation mode is not checked.

Hopefully I've helped someone else out.

Hello, this is exactly the same thing that is happening to me. But can you please tell me a bit more where should I go to check that Run WWW service IIS 5.0 isolation mode is not checked?

Thanks,
