Technical Note 40025
Last Reviewed 21-Jul-2006
Applies To
Verastream Host Integrator version 5.5 or higher
Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) version 6.0
Microsoft Windows Server 2003
Summary

When attempting to access an ASP procedure-based web application created in Verastream Web Builder and running on Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), users may receive one of the following errors: "HTTP Error 404 - File Not Found," or "HTTP Error 404 - File or Directory not Found." This technical note describes a potential cause of this error and explains how to resolve the issue.

Dynamic Content

ASP procedure-based web applications utilize dynamic content. By default, Microsoft IIS version 6.0 on Windows Server 2003 is configured to serve only static HTML content. If dynamic content is not enabled on the IIS server, user may receive HTTP 404 errors.

Enabling Dynamic Content in Microsoft IIS

To resolve this problem, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 315122, which describes this issue and provides steps for configuring Microsoft IIS to serve dynamic content.
