Can Asp and Asp.net work on the same Virtual directory?

[Patrick B. \(pbutlerm\)]

Hello,

I am running IIS 6.0 (win2003 server). I have an ASP.NET application
running in the root. And I have 2 subfolders running asp applications. My
question is this asp applications will work, or I need to do anything
special to them?
I configured the subfolders to run as applications..is this necessary?

Can you guys point me to best practices documents, or links?

Really appreciated,

Patrick B.

Hi Patrick,

Yes, ASP and ASP.NET will work in the same virtual directory. You may
need to watch out for a default IIS 6.0 setting that may prevent
dynamic content from being served.

The default document for the directory
must be taken into consideration, too.

The order in which default documents are searched
is bound to have an effect when applications are browsed
without a default document being specified in the URL.

i.e.

If the order is default.aspx and then default.asp, when you browse to
http://yourserver.com/ instead of to http://yourserver.com/default.asp ,
you'll get the ASPX app, while if the order is default.asp and then
default.aspx, when you browse to http://yourserver.com/ you'll get
the ASP app.
