RE: ASP trouble with IIS 6.0 security

[Bénoni MARTIN <Benoni.MARTIN () libertis ga>]

Humm... I was using the "include file" instead of the other one, so I will try it, cheers!

The trouble I had was just sometimes and random: browsing on my website, a page displayed without any problem will not 
be displayed coming back to it after browsing other pages! Sometimes an ASP page with some HTML code in it gets me an 
"HTTP 500 error", sometimes a raw ASP (reading some intputs and redirecting to another pages according to these inputs) 
script gets stuck without being processed...

With Mozzila, I had really less trouble, maybe IIS 6 is bugged, I do not know...that's a trouble as for debugging I 
take out every security option...so I am afraid when I will be hardening the web server! :(

This may be completely off but have you looked at your includes or does it
make reference to them in the server error you get? Alot of issues with
design of include functions that worked in IIS5 but not in IIS6.
Example

<!--#include file="../../includes/home_sidebar_inc.asp" -->
will work in IIS5

for IIS 6 you must make it virtual
<!--#include virtual="/includes/home_sidebar_inc.asp" -->

Subject: ASP trouble with IIS 6.0 security



Hi community,

I am running IIS 6.0 under a W2K3 box, and most of my web pages have been
written in ASP with Dreamweaver 2004 (I don't think this is really
important, but...). Some of my ASP pages run into trouble: sometimes they
are displayed in the right way, but sometimes they create a "NTTP 500 -
Internal error". Looking around the web, seems to me I am not the only one
to face this trouble, but no solution has been found...

Seems also that a new security feature in IIS 6.0 performs this, but which
one??? I just cannot set up a Linux box with Apache as I have an SQL Server
2000...

What can I do? Get back to IIS 5.x does not seems to be a good idea...

Any idea will be welcomed!

Cheers!
