Question for a newbie - asp goes down?

[AlbertAguirre]

Thank you for reading my post.

I am new to ASP and I notice while I am developing my web app, sometimes it seems like the ASP support on my host goes down? I dont know what it is.

What happens is, I ftp my ASP file to the host and it works fine, I log in a few minutes later and I get an IE eror page with error number 500 for ALL my ASP pages.

"Page cannot be displayed, HTTP 500 - Internal server error"

Am I doing something wrong or do you all agree with me that it is a host thing?

AlbertAguirre,

What do you mean you FTP your ASP page to the server? Does that mean after your done creating it on your local machine, you then send it to the web site for testing?

Do you close your db-connection and destroy it, ie. something like:

conn.close
set conn = nothing

?

Many of my students get the internal 500,100 when they open up connections to the db without cleaning up after themselves...

I was not destroying the connection. I will do that. Thank you.
I am using dreamweaver ultradev and it writes the connectivity code for you but does not insert that destroy code.

K... Hope it helps...

btw: the same goes for recordsets...
ie:

rs.close
set rs = nothing

I recently rewrote a site for a customer that was created using ultradev... It is NOT very efficient when it comes to db-connections and session-variables...

If the functionality of your pages isn't too cryptic, I just might rewrite it for you, in exchange for you pointing people in my direction...
