How to configure Win2K to test .asp sites?

[Variable]

Hi,
how do I configure Win2K properly so I can test .asp Websites on my computer?
I just recently got Dreamweaver UltraDev and it is great (and easy to use) to make .asp Websites!

Well first of all you need to have IIS installed. Its part of your Win2K Cd so you can install it through Add/remove programs. From there ASP is natively supported by IIS.

Nothing else needed. Just run your site and thats all.

It doesn't work!
I installed IIS!
But if I I open an .asp-site with IExplorer I only see for a thousandth of a second the Save/Open File Dialogue Box and then it is gone and nothing happens...
what is wrong?

(I switched from WinME to Win2K to do this!)

Are you typing in http://127.0.0.1/yourfile.asp (where yourfile.asp is your asp file name) ? Or are you running just http://127.0.0.1/ ? The latter will go to a default asp file such as default.asp or iisstart.asp. Perhaps it is one of these loading that you see flashing by real quick?

If you are running your own .asp file and see that, it's some code problem in the asp file because IIS5 does indeed natively support ASP with no modifications.

Check for the following: there should be a shortcut to Internet Services Manager in your START|Programs|Administrative Tools... go in there and find Default Web Site. Go to Properties. Go to the Documents tab.

Here you should find a list of files that it will automatically look for if you just type in http://127.0.0.1/ also known as the default document. This should give you a clue as to what it is loading...

Hope that wasn't too confusing.
