ASP pages not opening in IIS!

[rishath]

I installed IIS on my Windows 2000 Professional system. When I try to open IIS from Control Panel --> Administrative Tools, I'm not able to open it, Infact nothing happens when I click on it.

Also, I have ASP scripts which access databases on FAT32 partition (IIS is installed in NTFS partition). The ASP scripts are not working. I gave Full Permission for "Web Anonymous user" for the "asp.dll" file.

Is it just the script that accesses the database that isn't working? Or are no ASP scripts working?

I've never had to mess with the permissions on asp.dll... however, you must make sure that execute permissions exist on the folder in which your script files reside.

How are you accessing the database? Are you using a DSN? Or opening the database directly?

If you can't get into the IIS Admin, it sounds like a permissions problem; did you install IIS as Administrator? Do static HTML pages display, if you type

http://localhost

?

Need more info if we're going to ferret out your problem.

Sorry for the delay in replying Greg! I was out of station.
The ASP script was working fine before...but after I had to reinstall Windows 2000 Professional, I'm getting this problem.

I gave execute permission to "web anonymous users" for the folder which contaings my scripts. Now, I'm able to get the initial ASP form, I created. But, when I click submit to write to my Database (which is in FAT32 partition), nothing happens, after sometime I get

So, I think, it has something to do with IIS. I'm not sure what it is. Reqeusting your help in this!
Thanks in advance,

Hmmm... sounds like maybe a runaway script?

Are you closing the database connections when finished with them?

[rishath]

yes! I'm closing the database connection when I'm done with it.
