My .asp page is in the folder named "MyWeb", and "MyWeb" folder is under wwwroot folder which is under inetpub. I also added MIME types in IIS Manager for .asp as application/asp, and for .aspx as application/aspx I tried it a long but still it is not working. When I go to open that .asp file it is asking for download in IE browser and displaying a blank page in Mozilla Firefox. Please can any body tell me how to solve this issue?

Issue solved I just changed the setting in IIS Manager set Enable Parent Paths to true and Send Errors To Browser to true and it happened. Localhost Home Page of IIS was displayed and my asp scripts are also running.
It possible that you haven't got Classic ASP support installed in IIS. To do this in Windows 7 follow the steps below;
How to enable Classic ASP support on IIS for Windows 7
Installing Classic ASP support
Goto Control Panel -> Programs and Features
Select from the left navigation bar
From the Windows Features dialog expand Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services -> Application Development Features and tick the option ASP this will also tick ISAPI Extensions if not already ticked (see image).
Configuring IIS Web for Classic ASP
Open Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager and select the website you wish to configure.
In Features View under the IIS section select Handler Mappings check the existing mappings list that appears for a handler that points to *.asp if one doesn't exist select Add Script Map from the right hand navigation bar.
Fill in the options as per the below image
IMPORTANT If using 64-bit and want to enable 32-bit support you may wish to use the 32 bit equivalent ISAPI DLL. See Dee's answer to How to enable ASP classic in IIS7.5
Select the Request Restrictions button to open Request Restrictions dialog. The three images below detail the values that should be configured if not already set.

I have website in VS2008. Created the Virtual directory in IIS 5.1. When I try and run the site to debug from Visual Studio I keep on getting:
Your Web service is now running.
You do not currently have a default Web page established for your users. Any users attempting to connect to your Web site from another machine are currently receiving an Under Construction page. Your Web server lists the following files as possible default Web pages: default.htm,default.asp,index.htm,iisstart.asp. Currently, only iisstart.asp exists.
To add documents to your default Web site, save files in c:\inetpub\wwwroot.
I have no idea why this is happening.
Can anyone help me?
If I understand correctly, it may be as simple as this:
In Solution Explorer, right-click on the page you want to be the default page and click "Set as Start Page".
I've found out several topics related to this issue yet I couldn't find an answer which worked for my problem, which is following:
I moved my Asp.Net 4.0 site to a new server (IIS 7, Windows Server 2008). The server side is working fine but the CSS style sheet is not loading.
When I use firebug, I see the following on the part where css should be loaded
404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Despite this message,I can display the content of the css (in text) on the web (such as ../Styles/button.css ..etc)
I have tried some solutions such as staticFile handler mapping on IIS or adding ASP roles on server manager (through control panel).
Any help would be appreciated
Kind regards
The articles/topics that you have found is talking about the same thing as Uali's answer, which is correct, but it doesn't always solve everyone's problem. The problem is also not about your css per se.
Before proceeding, make sure that you have enabled Static Content as the other answer instructed.
Then do these steps in the IIS Manager window with your virtual directory selected.
Open Handler Mappings.
Click Add Managed Handler in the Actions Panel located in the right.
In the request path field, type: *.css
In the type textbox, enter: System.Web.StaticFileHandler
In the name textbox, type in any descriptive name you want such as css fix.
Click OK.
Update:
I also forgot to say that you can do the same thing for .jpg, .png, .gif or any other file types if necessary.
Please Make sure Your IIS 'Static Content' is enabled.
Do to This follow these steps:
Open Control Panel
Click Programs
Click Turn windows features on or off in Programs and Features.
Open Internet Information services -> World Wide Web Service ->Common HTTP Features
Make sure Static Content is checked, Mark checked if it
is not.
Hopefully it will help you.
The process of enabling Static Content on Windows 7 is different from that on Windows Server 2008.
To install the Static Content feature on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, follow these steps:
a. Open Server Manager, and then expand Roles.
b. Right-click Web Server (IIS), and then click Add Role Services.
c. Under Web Server, click to select the "Static Content" check box.
d. Click Next to complete the installation.
Here is the complete step by step guide for both situation for reference.

I've copied a whole folder which keeps a website inside from a web server to another computer.From the original server I can easily run the web application. Now I need to know what exactly I have to do in order to be able to run the application on the second computer too. I think there are some special considerations with IIS. What and how do I have to set up in IIS?
Follow these steps.
create a new site from left menu By right clicking and add new website.
Give physical path to that folder
Map with the site url
Give permissions to Directory as (like everyone)
Set up the default page if (index page is not present in the directory)
Set framework which ever you are using.
Install the IIS Windows component for whatever version of Windows you're using.
Create a new site in IIS
Point this new site to your web root
Configure DNS for the site (maybe using your hosts file)
There are some considerations to make depending on which version of IIS you are using. It would be helpful to know if you are using 6 or 7.
If you are under 7, you need to copy the site to your IIS directory (typically wwwroot) and then setup the basic settings in IIS by choosing your application pool and such. Application pools are typically (but not always) setup by .Net Framework. You may need to setup your default page and set it as an application. There are many blogs and sites out there that will tell you how to setup this basic functionality but are specific to your application.
For configuring IIS
1. Firstly, in Programs and features go to Turn on and off windows features...in that tick everything under IIS..go to sub folder and tick everything everywhere
Go to Internet Explorer> Setting> Internet Options> Advanced> untick Show friendly http error messages option
Go to IIS manager
a. In default application pool> advanced settings > Set true enable 32-bit program option
b. Go to Asp> setting> expand debugging properties> there will an option of error messages some 2nd last or last option that would be false...set it to true..apply changes
Run vbscript and asp only in Internet Explorer (edge 10 in developer options for pop ups)
I have several development sites on my wix XP laptop (all classic asp). Doe anyone know why i need to type localhost/site/default.asp (i keep getting a 405 error on iis 5.1) and not just localhost/site
You need to add "Default.asp" as a default document. From this page ...
With iis 4.0 and iis 5.0 the change is
performed as follows:
Start the Internet Service Manager (Start - Programs - Administrative
Tools - Internet Services Manager).
Expand the computer and select the web site.
Right click on it and select Properties.
Select the documents tab.
Check the Enable default document box and click Add to add a new default
name. The order of the search can be
changed by clicking the up and down
arrows.
Click Apply and then OK.
Per comment ... okay, check your script map settings, per this article.
Sounds like you need to configure your default document type in IIS to be default.asp.
First off we need to clear up the web site thing. You only have one web site, the default web site. (It is possible to munge the metabase on XP to create multiple web sites but IIS 5.1 will only serve one of them, the others will have to be stopped).
You have multiple applications which are virtual directories under a common default website.
Have you checked that Default.asp is in the list of default documents for the application not the website? In IIS manager open properties dialog on each applications virtual directory and check the config there.
If you have then you've got a strange one on your hands. At this point I would always advise checking permissions. Does the application allow anonymous access, if so does the anonymous user have access to the folder and files?
This might seem strange advice since accessing the default.asp directly works but in my experience when the configuration looks good and should work but isn't 90% of the time its the result of permissions not correctly set up.
A 405 http response status code means "Method Not Allowed". The Wikipedia article List of HTTP Status Codes has this definition for the error:
A request was made of a resource using
a request method not supported by that
resource; for example, using GET on
a form which requires data to be
presented via POST, or using PUT on a
read-only resource.
You can try the third XP PRO IIS Admin, which can add more than one site to the IIS 5.1, you can switch the site with no difficulty.

I have an .asmx in a folder in my application and I keep getting a 401 trying to access it.
I have double and triple checked the setting including the directory security settings. It allows anonymous. I turned off Windows Authentication.
If I delete the application and the folder its in, then redeploy it under the same application name it magically reapplies the old settings.
If I deploy the exact same application to a different folder on the server and create another application under a new name and set up the directory security setting again it works!!!
How do I get IIS to forget the setting under the original application name?
After deleting the first application in IIS and its associated files on the disk, try restarting IIS (or your server if possible). Then come back and recreate the whole setup.
Eventually I got it working again. By deploying to a different folder and recreating the virtual folder / application to it.
I am not sure how that makes a difference but at least things are working again.
I ran into a similar situation with asp.net pages. I had Anonymous on and Integrated off for a virtual directory, but one page was the opposite. Everything worked fine until I went to the one special page, then my post backs stopped working and I couldn't log out of the site until I deployed to a new virtual directory.
My eventual solution was to enable anonymous and integrated for the entire site and just turn off anonymous on that one page.
