is asp is ok with xampp? or it is IIS only

If you can get plain HTML pages to load ok, check that your ASP is outputting valid HTML. Also, some web servers will require that ASP pages are stored and executed from a set folder or directory, with the correct security permissions set on it. Ensure that you are complying with that stipulation. Server Error 500 is a very general error so it's difficult to determine exactly what the problem may be. You may need to devise tests to home in on the problem. It's a good idea to look in any log files, for the web server or for the computer it is installed on.
