How to enable ASP classic in IIS7 5

Question

I am running IIS 7 5 in Windows 7 and have already gone into  Turn Windows features on or off  and enabled ASP in  Internet Information Services World Wide Web Service application Development Features   Once I did that I started getting an HTTP 404 error saying      The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension   configuration  If the page is a script  add a handler  If the file should be   downloaded  add a MIME map    So I took this to mean that I needed to add a mapping to   asp in the Handler mappings and the handler is mapped to C  Windows System32 inetsrv asp dll  But when I try to load the page I get a server error saying      Could not load type  C  Windows system32 inetsrv asp dll     Does anyone know what is going on here or how to handle this   One other thing I should mention is that I have already enabled 32-Bit application in my Application pool and set ASP to send errors to browser  but neither of those things has resolved the issue or given me more information   Please note this is ASP Classic not ASP NET  ASP NET is working just fine for me

If you are running IIS 8 with windows server 2012 you need to do the following:

Click Server Manager
Add roles and features
Click next and then Role-based
Select your server
In the tree choose Web Server(IIS) >> Web Server >> Application Development >> ASP
Next and finish

from then on your application should start running

I found some detailed instructions here  http   digitallibraryworld com  p 6 The key piece of advice seems to be  don t use the 64-bit ASP DLL  found in system32  if you ve configured the app pool to run 32-bit applications  instead  use the 32-bit ASP DLL    Add a script map using the following setting  Request Path    asp Executable  C  Windows system32 inetsrv asp dll Name  whatever you want  I named my Classic ASP The executable above is 64 BIT ASP handler for your asp script  If you want your ASP script to be handled in 32 bit environment  you need to use executable from this location  C  Windows SysWOW64 inetsrv asp dll   Of course  if you don t need to load any 32-bit libraries  or data providers  etc    just make your life easier by running the 64-bit ASP DLL

So it turns out that if I add the Handler Mappings on the Website and Application level  everything works beautifully  I was only adding them on the server level  thus IIS did not know to map the asp pages to the IsapiModule   So to resolve this issue  go to the website you want to add your application to  then double click on Handler Mappings  Click  Add Script Map  and enter in the following information   RequestPath    asp Executable  C  Windows System32 inetsrv asp dll Name  Classic ASP  this can be anything you want it to be
