ASP will not run unless logged into console

Question

I am moving an existing ASP application from IIS5 on Win2003 to IIS7 on Win2008.

After going over all the install notes and setting up ASP to run, everything worked fine while I was logged into the console.

As soon as I log off the console, no ASP application will run. I get a 500 error even though normal .htm pages will render from the site fine.

I tried a simple page with only a response.write " Hell " and it fails with a 500 error. I set up Failed Request error logging and it just says 500 error as soon as it calls the ASP script.

How can this be solved?

Solution

Tweaked a setting in IIS:

Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager ->
Default Web Site ->
Error Pages properties
select Detail errors
Reset to Detailed errors only and now everything works

Just to confirm, classic ASP? – squillman Mar 02 '11 at 16:16 — squillman, Mar 02 '11 at 16:16

Thanks, but that does not seem to make any difference – Tom Engelhart Mar 02 '11 at 22:45
Just went back to double check and found setting was Detailed errors for local requests and customer eero for remote--- – Tom Engelhart Mar 03 '11 at 06:19
