Can't open .asp on the website

Hi, all
I have website www.koamart.com running several years without any problem. The web is in the server 2000. Someday suddenly we couldn't open .asp file from IE or Firefox either. I can open HTML files.
I have two Windows 2000 servers, but I don't know why I have two. I only have one web site. If I see second server, there is ftp.koamart.com and first server has www.koamart.com.
If I disconnected second server, website was not working, but now two servers connected.
Most of my website files are .ASP, so I can't open any page.

Please help!!

Which version of IIS are you running? Did you check if your web is running in IIS? Is it stopped or paused?

If you can access only html files, did you check the "Default Document" setting in your web configuration in IIS? Does it have .asp in the list? Is script execution permissions set to the web user?

Please post what you find. Thanks.

You need to ensure that the user that IIS is running as has permissions in that folder to read and execute the files. Also, it sounds like you are running Win Server 2000 so you'll also want to open the IIS MMC and select the security tab in the IIS manager then make sure that you have IIS set to allow anonymous access (if that's what you want) and make sure that you set IIS permission to read, execute scripts, and anything else you want to do. I hope that's helpful, I have set up many sites and would forget something here and there like that, so the above is my mental checklist that I use when this happens. Let me know if that doesn't do it and I will go into much more detail.
