ASP and error 500
I keep getting an error HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error whenever I try to use any ASP files.
I have made sure that the directories and files that I am using have read / write / script permissions and I have .asp files associated with the asp.dll file in the inetsrv folder.
I have looked on Microsoft's Technet pages and couldn't find anything there.
I have Windows NT with IIS 4.0
Anyone have an idea why I get this and what I can do to fix it?

Are you using IE to browse the site? If so make sure you have "Show friendly messages" unchecked in Internet Options/Advanced. That way you will see the real error message.
Make sure you don't have a funky server extensions problem (try removing completely).
Can you view .html pages ok?

Ok,
I get the message of: "The specified procedure could not be found." now that I took off the show friendly messages option.
I can see .HTML pages correctly
What do you mean removing completely? I am not quite following what you want me to remove.

If you had the Frontpage server extensions installed I just thought it might help to remove them to see if that might fix your problem.
But it looks like your problem is ASP related. It sounds like you have a call to a Sub or Function that doesn't exist. Do you get that same error message on all ASP pages? If so it sounds like your install might be pooched. Try removing and reinstalling IIS, if that doesn't work then it's time for a rebuild.

zimbabwe,
are you trying to access it via the proper location?
ie
<?phphttp://localhost/folder/page.asp
?>
(where local host is your machine name or local IP)
rather than
<?phphttp://intepub/wwwroot/folder/page.asp
?>

i am remotely accessing it from my browser (domain name). So I believe that I am going into it correctly
