I ran across this problem with an ASP page and found a solution on the Microsoft Support site.

Symptoms:
Active Server Pages (ASP) page, ASP.NET page, Internet Services API (ISAPI) application, or Common Gateway Interface (CGI) application on a Windows Server 2003 server running Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, give the following error messages:

1. HTTP Error 404 – File Not Found
2. HTTP Error 404 – File or Directory not found

Cause:
IIS 6.0 was set to serve only static HTML pages by default on Windows Server 2003

Solution:
Using the IIS manager Allow Active Server Pages under the Web service extensions node.

To redirect browser requests to another folder or Web site:

1. Start IIS Manager.
2. Click to expand * server name, where server name is the name of the server.
3. Right-click either the Web site or the folder that you want to redirect, and then click Properties.
4. Click one of the following tabs that is appropriate to your situation:
   • Home Directory
   • Virtual Directory
   • Directory
5. Under When connecting to this resource, the content should come from, click A redirection to a URL.
6. Type the URL of the destination folder or Web site in the Redirect to box.
7. And that’s it.
