ASPX page displays only html code

Reply Contact

I am learning ASP.net so i created a very simple file

this is the file content

<html>
<body bgcolor= "yellow">
<center>
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
</center>
</body>
</html>

basically i named the file firstpage.aspx and tried opening it using IE and mozilla

but both fail to display the page and only display the html code

I have IIS 7 installed, as well as visual developer 2008 and microsoft .net framework 3.5

any help or thoughts?

Verify the asp.net script mappings are on the website. Also, make sure the web service extensions allow asp.net to execute.

Oh this is IIS 7, sorry. The concept of script mappings is well, gone. :) go to Server Manager > roles > Web Server > Role Services and see if Asp.net is installed. By default, iis only serves static content.

Hi!

In addition to Steve's suggestion, I would also like to ask how you access the file.

Do you use http://localhost/firstpage.aspx (or similar), or do you double-click the file in Windows Explorer? A common mistake for people new to ASP.NET is that they do not realize that the code must be executed by IIS, and cannot be opened like a regular HTML-file.

Here is an image of what I'm talking about. Server Manager should launch when you login or go to control panel, administrative tools, server manager. Hope that helps.
