PWS on Win XP

[yigalm]

Hi

I think I have installed PWS on Win XP. I even have the Inetpub folder and the

http://wwwroot

directory inside it. But I cannot find a way to start the server, and also, (or therefore?) IE does not display any .asp pages in the

http://wwwroot

directory.

How can I run ASP on Win XP?

Thaks a lot!

is it XP home edition?
I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.

It is XP Professional. Does it make a difference though? I remember doing the same on Win 98 and I had no trouble starting the server.

Thanx,
IM

yes does matter. HE is horid for running PWS BUT you should install IIS for this on professional and not PWS.
here's a article I found for you to read up on this issue.

Thanks for the reference to that article. It says that I have installed IIS instead of PWS. This is cool! But I still can't get it to process ASP pages. Is the server automatically started with Windows? Maybe I am mistyping the URL... What would the URL be for mypage.asp located in the

http://wwwroot

directory?

Thanx!

Goto administrative tools and double click Internet Information Services... then click the "play" button at the top which starts the service..
