[OKGIS] IIS displays code instead of page.

[David W. Wheelock]

I recently installed ArcGIS Server (AGS) on my personal workstation to
use as a testing and development box.  However, I encountered a problem
the very first time I tried to start ArcGIS Server Manager and haven't
been able to get past it.  Basically, it just gave me an error message,
which I won't recount here.  I contacted ESRI support and went through
some testing with them.  At the end of that the analyst suspected it was
an IIS (Internet Information Server) problem and sent me a simple
asp.net test file to use as a test web page.  He gave me instructions to
install it in a location unrelated to ArcGIS Server.  When I installed
it and browsed to in in a web browser, it show the asp.net code instead
of performing the action and displaying the page that the code defines.

The ESRI analyst concluded that this must be an IIS problem,
configuration or something.  That's odd since I only just installed IIS
in the process of installing AGS.  I certainly haven't made any
customizations to the IIS configuration that I'm aware of.

I asked our webmaster about this and she hadn't encountered this problem
and didn't have any suggestions.

Have any of you encountered this problem and know the answer?
If not, do you know any good IIS forums or tech sites that I could
submit this query to?

Thanks,
David
