.asp extension

[placek]

Hi there,

Hope you can help. I've installed IIS on my PC(computer-
03), together with FP extensions. I have applied the
Server extensions too.

The default web site is c:/inetpub/root, and i have
created a folder in there called publish. In there , i
have placed an HTML and ASP version of the fill-out-
form, 'index'.

I have linked both versions of index to index.mdb and
published to c:/inetpub/root/publish.

When i type http://computer-03/publish/index.html in my
browser, this fill-out-form appears. However, when i type
in http://computer-03/publish/index.asp, i get a 'this
page cannot be displayed' message. Does anyone know why it
is like getting a horse to water to get my browser to
display an ASP page?

TIA

Have you added index.asp to the list of default documents in IIS?

Howdy.

1. In IE, choose Internet Options from the Tools menu.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Find Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages (about 1/4 of
the way down) and clear it.

This won't fix the problem, but it'll get you a better
error message.

Hi Tom

Yes, index.asp has been added. Any more ideas?

Thanks , Jim. I'll try that. Do you know how i can get my
browser to diaply index.asp?

Perhaps after getting the exact error message as Jim suggested, we can do
some more trouble shooting.

[Andrew Murray]

the "default" page for asp is usually "default.asp" not "index.asp".

 

[Tom Pepper Willett]

But, he indicated he was using index.asp, and he was referring to his
localhost computer name to view.

Make sure you have either disabled Norton (if using) or set it to allow scripts or something like
that.

Either type the file name explicitly, or open IIS Manager, right-click
your Web site, choose Properties, click the Documents tab, and add
index.asp to the list.

However, it might be easier if you just renamed your page from
index.asp to default.asp. That way, you won't need to bug your host to
make the same index.asp change for you.
