server does not process .aspx pages

[Croody]

Hi, I installed asp.net 2.0 on windows 2003 server (iis 6) but the server still does not process any .asp .aspx page. It only processes .htm pages. I don't know what I have done wrong there. I have asp.net 1.1 on a different server and it is working.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Did you register the ASP 2.0?

Try executing this command from
aspnet_regiis.exe -i from command prompt. This file will be ideally located in C:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

And by the way, Welcome to the Forum :wave:

No I didn't. I had no idea that I need to register it first. Anyaway I have done it but the server still does not process aspx pages. It still get error 404 (page cannot be found). I have restarted iis. Do I need to restart the machine after registering asp 2.0?

If the server isn't processing the aspx page, you should be seeing the source code, not a 404 error!

That's exactly what I do not understand. If I switch to v1.1 the page will be normally processed and displayed without any error. But the moment I switch to v2.0 error 404 appears. But the file is actually there. This means that v2.0 is not working or configured correctly.

Check that the extension is installed:

And that any applications that use asp1.1 (or regular asp) are not running off the same application pool

Good luck

A million thanks!!!
The extension wasn't installed. Now it is working. I can rest my head a bit now.
