VBscripts don't execute

[JoeG]

I installed FP2003 on a WinXp Pro w/SP2 machine.
Everything works fine except that none of my ASP pages
written in vbscript work. It looks like the script is
just bypassed. No error msgs, no nothing! When I use the
script editor that comes with FP, the scripts still don't
execute. I can't even get the breakpoint debug to break
in the vbscript. I've looked everywhere in the settings
to see if I missed somthing. I don't know if its FP or
WinXP or IE6 that's the problem. I also have IIS 5.1
running on my pc. The HTML executes fine, but not the
vbscript. Where and what should I be looking at????

Have you started IIS on this box?

Requirements for ASP:

1. Server-based web, hosted on IIS, with ASP installed
2. Page must have a .asp extension
3. HTTP Request

The asp work fine on the web host, but not on my machine that I use to
develope the webpage. Does that mean that I can not use FP to write .asp
files and test them out befor publishing to the webpage?

 

[JoeG]

Yes. I'm running vers 5.1

Have you started IIS on this box?

Make sure you are accessing the page in your browser via http://localhost/pagename.asp, etc.

Do you have the appropriate permissions set on your local
server so that scripts can be run?

What I'm doing is in FP I create a .asp using vbscript. I save it. Then I hit
the "preview in browser" command. My browser comes up, but the vbscript does
not execute. No errors, no nothing except a blank page. I'm doing this on a
box running Win XP w/SP2 + IIS vers 5.1

You must have the web site open in FP via http, not a drive letter.

It means that you can not use FP to test ASP pages out before publishing if
the requirements I listed are not present.

What do you get when you point your browser to http://localhost?

 

[JoeG]

Problem solved. Thanks a million to those that took the time to answer. Being
a newbie to webpage design I was unable to figure it out that one needs to
open the page with the browser and use "http:\\localhost\..... " instead of
driveletter:\. I did not realize there was a difference. Again. Thanks!!

Whee!
