ASP and ASP.NET on IIS7 on Vista
Posted by joe in Geeky, Operational on October 25, 2009
For 90% of my web projects, I’m good with PHP configured under IIS7. But there’s one that still needs “Classic ASP” support. Since I’m on a new machine these days, I haven’t ever configured it to do development for this project. Here are some tips to get that working on Vista:
- By default, turning on IIS in Vista doesn’t give you ASP or ASP.NET. Go into Control Panel > Programs and Features (aka “Add/Remove Programs”)
- Turn Windows Features On or Off
- Under World Wide Web Services > Application Development Features check and enable ASP and ASP.NET
- Next, for a development machine, it’s useful to turn on debug error messages. Open IIS Services Manager (Right-click on your Computer and choose Manage)
- Click on your Server icon under the “Connections” pane
- Double-click on “ASP”
- Expand “Debugging Properties” and set “Send Errors to Browser” to True (only do this on your development machines)
