Classic ASP Support in IIS 7 and IIS 7.5

I’m working on reverse engineering an application that was written about 8 years ago in Classic ASP. When I first hit the site, one of the things I noticed was that the traditional error messages weren’t displayed. You can turn this on by double-clicking on the ASP icon under IIS, finding compilation, and expanding debugging properties. You’ll see that one of the properties in IIS is called Send Errors To Browser. Set that property to true and you’re all set!

One last thing, be sure that you have Classic ASP enabled in IIS. If not, go to add/remove programs to do so.

If you would have added screen-shots of describing what you said, that would have been a great value add. Its been long time that we worked on ASP so we forgot lot of it just like you :)

Hi, Can you tell me if there are any known issues with IIS7 running Classic ASP as I'm having issues with my host who is running IIS7. Thay are saying that IIS7 does not suport some ASP functions like Now().

I'm very confussed as to why this would be and also why the indept Error report does not work on IIS7.

Sorry if this is mentioned else where but I have tried to look for information on this.

Thanks
