I have created an *.asp file, but when i try to browse it I get HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found. I know the file is there, what could be wrong?

IIS 6 is locked down by default. This means that script files like asp and php cannot be executed until you allow it. To allow asp files, follow these steps:

Click Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Internet Information Services Manager
Expand <servername> and click Web Service Extensions
In the right pane, right click Active Server Pages and select Allow
