password asp not working

[Mike]

I followed the microsoft directions on creating password protection on asp
and it works perfectly on my http://localhost. When I publish the web to the
internet server, it will not work. In fact, the asp page will not come up. I
have contacted my ISP and they have told me that the support asp and FP
server extensions are running. I am using FP2003. any suggestions?

Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,

Do any asp pages work on your host? If you don't have any others just try
sticking
<%=now()%>
on a page saving it with an asp extension and uploading to your host - it
should print the time and date. That will at least point us in the right
direction.

The asp pages that view the database results works.

The asp pages that show the result from the database seems to be working. At
least the pages open.

OK so we can say asp pages do work. Can you point me to a link for the MS
directions - there must be something in their code that is causing the
failure.

Your ISP may support the FrontPage Extensions but they don't have anything
to do with ASP Support. Are they running a Windows Server? If so, have
they gone into IIS and made sure that ASP was allowed? The issue may be on
their end.

Also, is there a database involved with this script you're using and if so,
did you publish it to the live site and have your host create a DSN for it?

Hi,
Is this your page? I get a logon prompt which obviously I don't have
credentials for. What I need to see is the Microsoft directions you followed
to create your page.

NetCaraft says you're running a Linux server
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.hopeboard.com ASP doesn't work
on Linux / Apache servers. You need a Windows Server

He's running on a Linux/Apache Server.

Should have checked that. If the host says ASP is supported I assume he's
running chilli in some form in which case the asp code will work but the
Access DB will not. One option might be to convert the database to .dbf just
for the sake of getting it working quickly but changing hosts would probably
be a better option.

Thanks to you and David for your help. At least I know that it is not me.
