Summary

The release of Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 introduces version 6.0 of the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). In order for version 6.0 of IIS to play host to a TASKE web application, some configuration is required that was not required with versions 5.0 and below. Please continue with the remainder of this article for information on configuring IIS version 6.0 to host a TASKE web application.

Issue

A Page not Found error displays after signing into a TASKE web application.

Reason

TASKE web applications use Active Server Pages (ASP). To load these pages, the Enable Parent Paths check box must be enabled in Microsoft IIS. This check box allows ASP pages to use relative paths to reach the current directory. Automatically enabled in IIS version 5.0 and below, this check box is disabled by design in IIS version 6.0 and must be manually enabled.

Solution

To make the TASKE web application functional with IIS version 6.0, enter the properties page for the TASKE web application site in IIS and enable the Enable Parent Paths check box. If the web application is also the default web site for the computer, you must enable this check box in the properties of the default web site as well.
