Very Computer

I just upgraded from 4 to 5 and setup went smoothly.  http appears to be
properly enabled.  I have admin privleges.  I note there is only one
directory mapping in IIS to \exchsrvr\webdata and there is only one file
and one dir in that dir.  /usa is the dir and global.asa is the only file.
When is go to {site}/exchange on my web site all I get is Access Forbidden.
 Any ideas?

A few things could be wrong. First, make sure you have SP2 installed, this
will upgrade IIS to version 3 and allow ASP. Second, make sure that you
have ASP installed on IIS, you can download it from www.microsoft.com/iis .
Third, make sure that Exchange installed the Active Server option (I don't
think it's installed by default). Run setup again and do an add/remove
install, choose the Active Server Components.

Thanks for your reply.  I am running sp2 and iis3 with ASP and its working
fine with Crystal Reports and other ASP stuff.  I reran install right after
the upgrade and installed the ASP stuff. I reinstalled all after it didn't
work at first.  I think I have done all the right things in the right
order, but it appears that it is in the wrong directory.  Either that or
the mappings are wrong.  How many exchange mappings do you have in the IIS
manager?  If I change the mapping to point to the usa subdir where
login.asp and the others really are, they still don't run.  I get an error
box saying it can't open  login.asp.  Its path is correct. I am befuddled.

No, leave the virtual directory mappings the way they were installed.
When a hit comes into the webdata directory, it processes a new
session using the global.asa file that is there.  If you look in that
file, you will see it mention the usa directory.  So don't worry, it
will pass you through.

As far as the access forbidden problem, I would double check
permissions on the directory.  (Maybe you should start with a
clean install of exchange since you may have accidentally
modified the install).  If it still does not work, repost with
permissions information on your install and I will try to help
you from that angle.

You also need "everyone:change" on c:\winnt (not on the files but on the
directory).
