What do I have to do to get classic ASP to run on a Windows Server 2003 Standard machine with IIS6?

I can run aspx files and html files fine. However, when I try to run asp files, I get the following error: The page cannon be found", "HTTP Error 404".

Yes, ASP is mapped to asp.dll.
Yes, the asp file is in the same folder as the html file.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Probably "Active Server Pages" might be prohibited.

To make them allowed go to IIS, in that go to "Web Service Extensitions" folder, in that select "Active Server Pages" and make them "Allowed"

Then it should work. Hope it helps!

Is that folder in IIS 5 also? because i am having the problem with aspx files on iis5

No that's only in IIS6. Can you give details about your Error, hopefully may be I can throw some light!

i have the same problem its works after taking the very top part off saying : <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="xx_xxx"%>delete it then it will work but i dont know why its doing that cause it should run with it on i think.
