Thank you for the reply. I have turned on ASP in the control panel.
HTML pages will load OK, the standard <%=Response.Write("Hello World")%> will now display OK.
I created a file in notepad and tried to save to the wwwroot directory and got the error message "You dont have permission to save in this location. Contact administrator to obtain permission. Would you like to save in the LouiB folder instead?"
I saved in the LouiB folder OK, and then copy and paste to the required wwwroot folder without problems.
ASP give the following error message in the browser window if the asp page I browse to attempts to connect to a database using the traditional ADO connection:
An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator
Having already run:
\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/asp -scriptErrorSentToBrowser:true
Also checked Show Friendly Error messages to on or off via IE Tools I get the same message.
I've checked the same code on an XP Pro IIS 6.0 machine and it connects OK.
I'm using Vista business connnected to Win Sever 2003 domain.
--I have updated the applicationHost.config to include settings loadUserProfile="false" on the applicationPools DefaultAppPool
also changed permissions on folders:
C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Temp
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Website\db
to add authenitcated users with write & modify permissions
& add IUSR account with write & modify permissions
which allows the ASP to connect to the database and insert records.
I just need a way to update existing records as this doesn't work?
