Deploying a classic ASP site from IIS 6 (2003 WS) to IIS 7 (WS 2008). Tried Manual deploy and msdeploy

Question

I want to migrate a classic ASP site which contains lots of .asp files and lots and lots of PDFs, docs files. (total size is about 5 GB.) Additionally There are two other dependent websites using same database.

Now, I tried:

1. Manually copying 5 GB to 2008 and then creating a website with asp pool (unmanaged code) and pointing it to physical path.
2. Using web deploy tool. Created zip package at source server, extracted at destination server.

In both cases I had to change Web.config file because it wasn't well formatted. Changing the web.config making conflict in files which are using it.

Now, I am able to see only HTML content and not ASP content in site. With web.config dependancy gone.

How can I make the single web.config file work for all sites?

Answer 1

Did you install ASP support for IIS?

Do you "ASP" feature in Sites?
