title: Newly installed IIS. Aspx page not getting displayed
body: <p>I have just installed a IIS on a win 2003 server and trying to setup an asp.net website.</p>
  
  <p>I have run the "aspnet_regiis" tool as well as made sure asp.net role is enabled.</p>
  
  <p>When i browse a plain from withing my asp.net virtual directory, i am able to view it. but, the server won't serve an aspx page.</p>
  
  <p>What should i be checking next?</p>
  
  <p>Appreciate your suggestions.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>Found the fix. The "ASP.NET v2.0." was prohibited in web service extensions.
  Steps to fix(in my case):<br>
  - Open IIS manager<br>
  - Click on "Web Service Extensions" in the nav pane<br>
  - On the right you will view "ASP.NET v2.0.*" and status is shown next to it.
  - Status was "Prohibited" in my case. I changed it to "Allowed". Boom. it worked!  </p>
