The following statement will not work with a classic asp page on an IIS7 website
<% Response.Write("test") %>
Have you enabled ASP inside Windows features?
I figured out that it had to do with adding a handler mapping for server side includes. When I added a module mapping ServerSideIncludeModule with request path of *.asp, it broke my site.

I'm pretty new with ASP , but Im looking for an answer to this question and nothing found yet.
Im using an Apache server to upload my website on it. i write a very simple asp code like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<%
response.write("My first ASP script!")
%>
</body>
</html>
and save the file as file.asp & get this as result:
Is the problem Apache server or what? What Should I do?
You need to configure your server to process ASP pages.
Start with this Running ASP.Net on a Linux based server
If you are using old legacy ASP (not ASP.NET) then you may have trouble this platform is not actively developed from more than 10 years now. It would be better to switch to more modern framework e.g. ASP.NET.
Use a IIS web server rather. Moreover is it asp.net or classic asp? By any means if it results in <%response.write("My first ASP script!")%> that means web server somehow processing it a normal HTML and not understand the script block <% %> which can only happen if it's processed by ASP.NET dll or ASP dll.
How does the browser interpret an ASP.NET webpage, hosted in IIS?
The first time the webpage is accessed, is something installed in the browser? Or ASP.NET creates "normal" HTML pages?
IIS interprets and executes the ASP.NET code and markup and sends HTML to the browser.
The browser interprets the HTML.
ASP .NET is server side. It executes remotely and delivers standard HTML page to browser
"An ASP.NET page has the extension .aspx. If a browser requests an
ASP.NET page, the server processes any executable code in the page,
before the result is sent back to the browser."
Quoted from w3schools website.
The first time the asp.net page is accessed it is compiled into a .net class (together with the code behind). There is a so called ISAPI filter installed into iis. When you access an asp.net page (a file with .aspx extension) iis will use the ISAPI filter to execute the request using class that has been compiled.
everything you need is HERE my friend
I'm updating a site from asp.net 2.0 to asp.net 4.0.
I'm running IIS 7.0.
If I create test.asp and browse to it it works.
If I rename the file test.html it will not parse the asp.
I need html to be parsed as asp because of the CMS we use.
Relevant code from test.html:
<%
Response.Write ("The time on the server is: " & Time())
%>
I think my trouble comes from the way .net 4.0 handles requests.
How do I get IIS to parse html as asp?
You will need to associate the same DLL that currently handles your .asp pages to also handle your .html pages in IIS. see here for help with that
I don't see the connection between ASP and .NET here.
Are you trying to figure out why the ASP engine is not processing a file with the .HTML extension?
When you name a file with the .ASP extension, it will be processed by the ASP engine. When you name a file with some other extension, like .HTML, it will not be processed by the ASP engine so any ASP-specific markup in it will go through to the client.
I have a classic asp webapp that I need to implement url re-writing in. I've used the intelligencia url re-writer in an asp.net application before , so my current trail of thought is to create a new asp.net application, add the url re-writing component to it and then add the classic asp application over the top. It's hosted in shared webspace so I have no ability to add isapi components to the webserver.
Is this the right way to go about it? What configuration changes would I need to make to get the classic asp and asp.net to sit together happly?
Any advice would be very appreciated.
You might be able to use a 404.asp to do this. I'm running HELM on IIS6 and can use my 404.asp like this:
URLPath = LCase(Replace(Request.Servervariables("QUERY_STRING"), "404;http://" & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") & ":" & Request.Servervariables("SERVER_PORT"), ""))
If URLPath = "/lalala" Then
Response.Status="200 OK"
Response.Write "La la la!"
Else
Response.Status="404 Not Found"
Response.Write "File not found."
End If
i want to test my web hosts asp.net capabilities - equivalent to a 'phpinfo' page - is there a standalone aspx page I can upload to test that asp.net is correctly running and what version etc it is running.
Thanks,

As Cody said, a blank default.aspx page should work, but I recommend enabling tracing for the page as well to get some more useful information about your host's ASP.NET setup ie
<%# Page Trace="true" %>
MSDN Doc
Can you just make a blank default.aspx page with nothing but <% Response.Write("Hello World") %> in the source.?
