[thelist] IIS returns 404 if .ASP page contains VBScript

[Ed McCarroll]

Ken, (everyone)

It turns out I was wrong about VBScript being the issue.  (Looked that way by
coincidence.  Duhh!)  It also turns out that I can't find the pages in question
using the Windows Explorer's search command.  As I had recently turned on
Indexing Service, I tried turning it back off.  (And rebooting)  This corrected
Windows Explorer, but not IIS.  Now I'm wondering if there's a connection
between IIS and WinXP Pro's Indexing Service.

I doubt that's the issue.  Looking under my Default Web Site Properties, on the
Custom Errors tab, I find Error 500 set to Type=default, Contents="Internal
Server Error".  I assume that means "No".

The pages in question work on our production server; it's just my computer that
fails.

The only line that has to do with my most recent attempt to display this page is
this:

127.0.0.1, -, 3/13/2005, 18:26:50, W3SVC1, ED, 127.0.0.1, 16, 433, 4226, 404, 0,
GET, /scripts/EmailPopUp.asp,
recipient=Bicycle+Touring+Committee&Referrer=SectionsGroups/SectionsGroups.asp|-
|0|404_Object_Not_Found,

TIA,
