    Classic ASP on Vista doesn't work with Database Connection. HTTP 500. Why?

    Dear Everyone,

    In Win XP, I can run classic ASP and connect to MS Access and SQL Server. Recently, I try to run the same ASP application on Win Vista and it works for some simple code like if..then, loop etc. However, when I try to connect to database in MS Access, it never works and always appears:

    The Website Cannot display the page    (HTTP 500)

    Most likely causes:

    • The website is under maintenance.
    • The website has a programming error.

     First, when I saw this, I thought maybe my code contained errors, but then I tried
    this code in my friend's Win XP, it worked properly. No error.

     


    Therefore, I  would like to ask everyone who is aware of this problem,
    please help me to solve it. I wonder whether it is because of Win Vista no longer
    support Classic ASP or there is new code to connect to Database or any other
    issues.

    Thanks in advance. I'm always looking forward to hearing from your kindness.

    Kosal

    Disable IE friendly error msgs -
    HOW TO: Turn Off the Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x "Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages" Feature on the Server Side
    http://support.microsoft.com/?id=294807

    Configure ASP to send detail error.

    then post the error msgs here.

    Cheers,
