I am getting following error while posting html page to asp page on VISTA Home Premium and IIS 7.0.

HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed

IIS 7.0 is throwing this error on its new IIS 7.0 Detailed Error page which was not in IIS 6. So, I am not familiar with this method of IIS 7.0. For me IIS 6 was better because it displays proper line number etc. Another thing is that MIME type for my local website is not configured for .asp page. I am also confused what to write in MIME Type for my local website in IIS 7.0.

Can anyone please explain me. Thank you in advance.

When installing IIS 7 on Vista you need to ensure that you have installed the correct modules so that you have support for things like ASP. The correct MIMIE types should then also be created for you.

Once setup in IIS 7 you need to change the ASP settings to allow errors to be sent to the browser and also change the error hanlding in IIS 7 to allow errors to be set to remote computers. Thsi will then enable ASP with the same error messages with line numbers as in IIS6.

IIS 7 is a huge improvemnt over IIS 6, but it does take a while to learn it, so probally worth looking through Google as there are excellent tutorials on this that would explain it much better than I just have.
