How do I get my ASP Application to run in a WSS site?

This Tutorial is courtesy of Michael Greth. You'll find the original German language version with three useful images at http://weblogs.mysharepoint.de/mgreth/articles/471.aspx

(The translation here is mine.)

Note: In this example the ASP application is to be accessible via http://office/asp where http://office is the address of the WSS site.

1. Access the WSS server and create a new sub-directory (asp) under the WSS Site (example e:\webroot\office)

2. Copy the ASP files to this sub-directory (e:\webroot\office\asp)

3. Access Programs / Administrative Tools / SharePoint Central Administration

4. Select 'Configure virtual server settings in the "Virtual Server Configuration" section of the page.

5. Select a virtual server (default "Default Web Site").

6. Select "Define managed paths" in the "Virtual Server Management" section of the page.

7. In the "Add a New Path" section at the bottom of the path do two things

a) add /asp to the Path box

b) select the "excluded path" radio button.

8. OK

After doing the above the path will no longer be administered by WSS and the ASP application will run.
