[SOLVED]Adding other file extensions to be served as ASP.NET

[RandomSF]

It looks like .ASPX files are served by default.

Can additional extensions be served, e.g., ASPY and where would this be set?

I have added the extension .ASP and it does not work. The files are old ASP files that have been converted to work as ASPX. This works on the production server running IIS, so it is not a limitation of the extension as was stated in another thread.

I don't quite understand why this is not working.

Do this if you haven't already done all the steps

1. Go to ASP.NET Parameters
2. Click Add under ASP.NET Applications
3. In the Virtual Path field, browse or enter the path
to your ASP.NET files
4. Select .NET version
5. Click OK
6. Click Edit by the ASP.NET Application you
just added
7. From the Handling drop down menu, select Associated
File Extensions
8. Click Add under Associated Extensions
9. In the Extension field, enter the extension without the prefixed dot
10. Click OK (it may show a white screen [bug reported])
11. Restart Abyss Web Server (if it shows a white screen, just go to the main console page and restart Abyss from there).

Yes, I checked each of your steps and everything is as you describe. But, when I try to access a page with a .asp extension I get this message:

Server Error in '/' Application.

This type of page is not served.

Description: The type of page you have requested is not served because it has been explicitly forbidden. The extension '.asp' may be incorrect. Please review the URL below and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /webinarPTDemo.asp

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.1008

This same file works in IIS. It appears to be hard-coded into Abyss to not server pages with the .asp extension.

Might be another bug then. I will report that as well and give a reference link to this topic so that they can investigate the problem further.

RandomSF,

Not an issue from Abyss Web Server's side. It's the ASP.NET framework which is configured by default to not serve .asp files. To circumvent that behavior, do as explained in http://stackoverflow.com/a/1732864 .

That solved it.

Thanks much!
