Newly installed IIS. Aspx page not getting displayed

Question

I have just installed a IIS on a win 2003 server and trying to setup an asp.net website.

I have run the "aspnet_regiis" tool as well as made sure asp.net role is enabled.

When i browse a plain from withing my asp.net virtual directory, i am able to view it. but, the server won't serve an aspx page.

What should i be checking next?

Appreciate your suggestions.

UPDATE:

Found the fix. The "ASP.NET v2.0." was prohibited in web service extensions. Steps to fix(in my case):
- Open IIS manager
- Click on "Web Service Extensions" in the nav pane
- On the right you will view "ASP.NET v2.0.*" and status is shown next to it. - Status was "Prohibited" in my case. I changed it to "Allowed". Boom. it worked!

Hope this helps someone. Also, you look at this other post giving other possible reasons for the issue.
