First, refer to this thread for the background info:


The hosting server is FreeBSD and has FP server extensions installed. The pages that are not working are:

Response.Write ("<br>")

'Write the server time on the web page using the VBScript Time() function
Response.Write ("The time on the server is: " & Time())

'Close the server script

Well, FP extensions does not mean it can run ASP unfortunately.

Your site is running on a Unix box which doesn't appear to have one of the ASP clones running, so you won't be able to run ASP pages.

If you View | Souce in IE you can see your asp code, which means the page has not been processed.
 
Additionally, the more usual response is experienced with the second page - the server can't process it and offers it for downloading.
 
Damn.

Thank you though, no one else could point that out. I though my coding was just wrong.

Thank you!!

Thank you!!!
