IIs 5.1 win xp pro sp2 has stopped processing .asp files.
I can ping the server.

HTML files are displayed, but .asp or .aspx files return "server application
error".
 
In Internet Explorer, please goto Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced and
uncheck "Show Friendly HTTP Errors". Reload the page and post the full error
you now see.

Thanks

Cheers

yes, I've googled myself dizzy and nothing has been able to describe a
solution for this problem. Those who say they got the problem solved
didn;t bother to leave an explanantion of how it was solved....
 
Try something syntactically correct:

<% Response.Write "hello world" %>

If you have IISLockdown, make sure that the ASP/ASPX extensions are not
blocked by URLScan (check its log file).

"The page cannot be displayed"

this is the page:
<%= "hello world %>

Sorry, but your ASP page IS syntactically incorrect and failed to compile,
which sends back an 500 error page. IE translates those errors into "The
page cannot be displayed" because you have "Show Friendly HTTP Errors"
option turned on.

As soon as you add in the missing trailing " the page should compile and
send back a 200 response, which should be displayed by the browser.

<%= "hello world" %>
