please help..iis 6

hi everyone, please reply asap if you can help.

i'm running windows server 2003 with iis 6.0.  i'm trying to start using asp throughout my website, so i made sure active server pages was allowed. 

for testing purposes, i installed iis 6 on my windows xp 64-bit computer.  my pages worked fine. 

when i upload them to my 2003 server i get a 500 error telling me there is a problem with the page.

the only difference that i notice between my computer and my server is that my computer has an "application pool" folder available in the iis console-the server does not.  did i install something wrong   i'm going crazy trying to figure this out.

thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    Hi,

    I agree with Daniel, try the ASP.NET Forums. There is a dedicated forum for IIS there:

    http://forums.asp.net/169/ShowForum.aspx

    Please post your question there.

    Regards,

    It sounds like you have IIS configured to run in IIS5 compatability mode. Open up IIS on the server. Right click on the Web Sites folder and come down to properties. Then in the properties select the Service tab. Make sure to uncheck the option "Run WWW service in IIS5 isolation mode".

    If this is clear then an Application Pool folder should show up, and you are now running in IIS6 mode. Again make sure the ISAPI and possibly the CGI filters are enabled.

    As far as the general 500 error, there could be a number of other reasons you are running into that error. What happens if you disable friendly HTTP errors in the browser, do you get a specific error Is your asp page failing when calling a COM object... etc

    on Win2003 server, When you open IIS, click on WebService Extensions.
    Make sure that, ASP.Net Extension is allowed.

    If you do not have asp.net extension you need to add it.

    on a 64-bit machine, make sure you are enabling the correct version of extension.
