You asked for the "best way" to determine if it is "enabled" meaning
ACTUALLY WORKS right?
For now forget all the other technical configurations for now. Just do
this...
Create a new HTML page and but save it as default.asp into
c:\inetpub\wwwroot and then you will be able to use any browser to request
http://localhost/ but first a couple easy setup steps...
That default.asp file should look like this...
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing ASP</title>
</head>
<body>
<% Response.Write("Hello World") %>
</body>
</html>
Note when we install IIS, by default an iisstart.htm file is written into
c:\inetpub\wwwroot. You should be able to load that file by requesting
http://localhost/ right? If not IIS is not installed correctly.
If that step can be confirmed rename the iisstart.htm file to
isstart.htm.old
(or whatever) and test ASP by requesting
http://localhost/ and the
default.asp will be loaded by IIS.
You should see Hello World.
IMO determining if an ASP page will load or not is the best way to determine
if ASP is functional.
