Hello, we recently upgraded our IIS server to Windows 2K3 with IIS 6.0. I have been able to adjust the upload restrictions, thanks to previous posts I found. However, while testing the ASP page that we have, once the file is uploaded, I try to click on the file to initiate a download and I get a Page not found telling me that the file or page I'm looking for cannot be found. This ASP page worked fine under Win2K, but does not work now. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it, unfortunately, like most things I'm on a time restriction to get this functioning properly.

Again, thanks in advance for any suggestions..

Can you turn off "Show Friendly HTTP error messages" and let us know what that tells you.

I tured off the friendly message and unfortunately it still displays the same HTTP 404 message. However, I did a lot more research on it today and I was able to discover the problem.

In IIS 6, the services rely on the MIME types to determine the output for the web browser, so once I added the MIME type to the MIME list, the link works properly as it should now.

If anyone else has this issue, I hope that helps. I allowed ALL MIME types just to be safe, but if you know the extensions of the files, you can add them individually.
