ASP Problem with subweb

[Chuck]

I have a domain that hosts three distinct website. Originally I had them
defined as a single web within FrontPage. Then I decided to split them into
subwebs.... now my ASP/javascript based hit counters won't work in the new
sub-webs (it still works fine on the "main" site).

I can't use the FP counters because the hosting server doesn't have FP
extensions.

Can anyone help me fix this?

Have you created connections in each subweb and made each subweb a application root (your host will
need to do this)?

The website is hosted by the company I work for (benevolent boss).... what
do I need to do to create connections in each subweb and make each subweb a
application root? I have access to IIS Administration Tools on the server
but limited experience using them....

Open IIS MMC, then open the root web, then right click on each subweb, and select Properties, then
on the Directory tab at the bottom (Application settings), click remove, then click create. Repeat
for each subweb. May also want to check the root web as well.

Initially the remove button wasn't available... only Create appeared. I
clicked Create but still had the same problem. Went back to IIS and followed
your instructions (Remove and then Create) and still no luck.

I think the path is correct because the Java Script does show up on the
page.... but it's almost as if the ASP page doesn't execute because the
counter files and java script files never get updated.

The application setting has no impact on the ability to run JavaScript client side, but does in
terms of executing ASP scripts within the subweb. Make sure your counter file has read/write/change
permissions.

yep... that did it. I needed to add write permission on the counter file.

Thanks!
