Since you've already stated that IIS is running, the next thing to check is if a static page is working. Create a file called Hello.htm in the content folder for IIS (by default, this is C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot) that contains some simple, bare-bones code. Then request http://localhost/hello.htm from the Web browser that is installed on the IIS server.

After that, the next thing to check would be if ASP is enabled. Classic ASP is not enabled by default on IIS6+ (Technet)

  1. In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, and then click Web Service Extensions.
  2. In the details pane, click Active Server Pages, and then click Allow.

It may be a little different depending on the version of IIS you are running.

Where to go next will depend on what results you get from the above.
