visual studio .net general: Please teach me how I can view IISHelp as it was under IIS 5.1.

Other virtual directories created by using ASP.NET 2.0 work fine. My
probable assumption is that under IIS 5.1, *.ASPX can work but *.ASP cannot.
But I don't know why and how.

Regards,

Thank you, Gerry.

I know ASP and ASPX can co-exist and that under IIS 6.0, you can make ASP on
and/or off. But IIS 5.1 does not have such a switching function.

The virtual directory named IISHelp does exists and seems configured
correctly. IIS 5.1 returns HTTP 500 when IISHelp is requested.

How can I let IISHelp work as before?

Hi,

In general you can use both ASPX and ASP on the same machine. Win2k,
WinXP and Win2003. You may be better off in the IIS group for additional
help. As I remember it, the help vDir was often deleted as part of
security concerns.

Hi,

OK, apologies; I've never used XP or IIS 5.1 so maybe that's why I was
not aware of this. I've used IISv5 on Win2k and IISv6 on Win2003. I made
a conscious decision to never use XP. I just "assumed" IIS 5.1 was the
same as IISv5...
