I am trying to rewrite an old web site that I did not create. I have never worked with ASP before. It has both .asp and .aspx extension files but they do not seem to behave the same. What's the difference between index.asp and index.aspx?

.aspx are ASP.NET framework, .asp are "classic" ASP

Hi Chis.

Is there something special about being an index page in ASP? If I name it index2.aspx it works fine. When I rename it index.asp or index.aspx I get a 500 error.

A 500 response is a coding error so maybe it has been hardcoded to be index2.aspx

ASP is an actual language

WRONG!!!!

ASP is actually a framework with TWO languages, vBscript and Jscript.

Why don't re design whole website if it needs over all changes.

Mainly Differences are..
ASP...
1. not truly object oriented
2. You can use either VB or JavaScript scripting language
3.Execution of code begins from top and executes down to the end.

ASP.NET....
1.Object Oriented, Event driven
2.You can use no. of languages here like..VB, C#, J#, Ruby..etc.
3.Code is compiled to use CLR(Common Language Runtime)
