Short, practical checklist for that builds on the earlier replies from and . The aim is to isolate whether this is a server-level problem, an application issue, or a COM/component bitness mismatch. Work top to bottom and report the exact HTTP status/substatus or any exception text if it persists.

  • Quick functional test: drop a minimal page into the site root and browse it. If this does not run, the server is not processing classic ASP.

    <% Response.Write("ASP engine OK") %>

  • If the minimal page runs, search your app for Server.CreateObject or other COM calls. Unregistered or wrong-bitness COM DLLs commonly cause load failures. On 64-bit Windows, register 32-bit DLLs with the 32-bit regsvr32 from SysWOW64:

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\regsvr32 "C:\path\YourComponent.dll"

  • Check the application pool: set "Enable 32-Bit Applications" if using 32-bit components, and confirm the pool identity has read/execute (and write where needed) on the site folder and any temp directories the app uses.

  • Capture more detail: enable detailed ASP errors for local debugging or turn on Failed Request Tracing for 5xx responses to get the substatus and module that failed. Also inspect the IIS site logs under C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles for the timestamped 500.x entries.

  • If your app uses COM/DCOM services, review Component Services (DCOM config) for launch/activation and identity settings.

Caution: do not leave detailed errors enabled on public servers. If these checks do not resolve it, include the IIS version, Windows bitness, app pool settings, and the exact HTTP 500.x code when posting follow-ups.

Don't reinstall IIS - that's a last resort. Which version are you using?
In IIS 7, ASP scripts are not installed by default so you have to enable the feature yourself for ASP to work.
Do you have any other ASP sites running correctly under the same IIS?
