Error 500 on classic ASP site
Hi,
I've been passing a website to setup on a development server for a client, the only issue being is that it's in classic ASP, and I have very little in the way of experience with it.
I've got access to a VPS running windows, with sql server express and IIS7 installed, as well asp.net.
I've created a site, and created a virtual folder, and uploaded the asp files to the site, but when I try to access the site, I get an error saying that there is an error 500 - There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.
I get no indication of what the problem is.
I've uploaded a test asp file, and it seems to work ok
http://win.web-development-server.com/bushessentials/test.asp
I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas. The site does connect to a database, and I think I have it setup correctly, but without an error message I don't really know what the problem is.

ASKER
In IIS I have an ASP option which lets me select various settings. I've changed it so that it sends errors to the browser, and now I'm getting this...
ADODB.Connection error '800a0e7a'
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.
Is this error any more useful?

The next thing is that classic asp is not supported out of the box on IIS7. You need to install the support for it.
