Where do i put the ASP

[LLudlow]

I have an ASP created in notepad. I am linking to the page from an HTM page. Is there anywhere I can put this ASP pasge on my local computer to test to see if it works?

As far as I know, you'll need a computer running Microsoft IIS in order to parse ASP code. You can install the Microsoft Personal Web Server on just about any Windows machine and it's available for download free at

I am having a problem finding IIS 4.0. Any suggestions where to get it

That's because IIS is a server application. You get it with Windows NT/2000. You need a copy of Personal Web Server available on the Windows 98 Second Edition CD, among many other places.

I am having similar problem as you.
Although I used to have mine work. I can't get it to work.
The way I did it before was to go to Windows Explorer and look for Inetpub(I believe). Below is is

http://wwwroot

and there I created a directory of my asp files.
Then I went to my command line and typed hostname,
got the hostname of my pc and pinged that to get the ip/address.
Finally, I opened up a browser, say internet explorer, without connecting to the internet, I typed say:

http://127.0.0.1(the

ip/address of my hostname)/directoryname/asp file.
So it will be

http://127.0.0.1/studtracdb/myfile.asp.

Since the dsn I created is an alias my database and since that information is on my asp file, I will be connected to the database.
For some reason, since my windows2000 was reinstalled, I am unable to connect to the database anymore.
If you resolve this, please advise me at:

I am running Windows NT 4.0 but it does not have IIS 4. What should I do?

 

[ToddWW]

Go to microsoft.com / Download / NT. And see if you can download the latest service pack.

You should have gotten an NT 4 Option Pack CDROM with your copy of NT4. If you didn't you might be able to download it from microsoft.
