What does the event log say? Test the page, then check all three logs for
errors at that time. It should point us in the right direction.

If IIS is installed, running ASP should be working. It doesn't require
extensive configuring (especially IIS4 on NT.)

You might confirm that they're testing the pages like this:

http://machinename/myfile.asp

and not

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myfile.asp

or

\\machinename\inetpub\wwwroot\myfile.asp

If you don't have the HTTP protocol specified, the server won't parse the
ASP. This doesn't look like the error you'd receive, but it should be
confirmed before we look for more sinister causes.

My client has conformed that the check box to execute the scripts in site
property is checked. Site is on NT4. I have uploaded all files and found
that only .html files are opening. All .asp files are creating error like
this.
Server Application Error
The server has encountered an error while loading an application during the
processing of your request. Please refer to the event log for more detail
information. Please contact the server administrator for assistance.

There is no problem in asp code as I have tested them in my PWS and in
another site also. A simple asp file with simple code  ( Response.Write "
message " )  is also crating same error. What is the problem in all .asp
files ? I am testing my pages in PWS and have very poor knowledge on NT. So
what I should ask my client to check now ?
