What am I forgetting - IIS Setup?

[CES]

All,

I sorry for the 101 question bet I can't get an .aspx page to run on my
localhost machine when I hit the page it downloads the file??? and obviously
doesn't execute the page.



I've added the "iusr_Name" and "aspnet" user acounts to the webroot and the
WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework folders and provided read and write access
to these accounts.

I'm running Norton so I've disabled "Enable Script Blocking"

This has always worked in the past but not now. Any suggestions on what I'm
doing wrong would be appreciated.

You may need to register the ASP.NET ISAPI Extension:

Start -> Run

%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

(replace v1.1.4322 with the version of the Framework that you wish to run on
the site)

Cheers
Ken

download the file... any suggestions?

If you install IIS before .NET Framework, then when you run the .NET
Framework install, it detects that IIS is installed, and registers the
appropriate ISAPI Extensions. This means that IIS knows that .aspx/.asax/etc
files should be processed by ASP.NET

On the other hand, if you install the .NET Framework before you install IIS,
then there's no place for .NET to register the ASP.NET ISAPI Extension. If
you then install IIS, ASP.NET doesn't work.

aspnet_regiis.exe is what the .NET Framework setup uses to register ASP.NET
with IIS. So, basically you are calling the same command that .NET Framework
setup uses to register itself with IIS.

If you want to see what ISAPI extensions are currently registered with IIS,
open IIS Manager (in your Admin Tools folder) -> Default Website ->
right-click and chose Properties -> Home Directory tab -> Configuration
button -> Mappings tab. You can see what file extensions are mapped to what
ISAPI extensions.

Cheers
Ken
