Why aren't my ASP pages not running in PWS! 2

JennyPeters · Jan 11, 2002

I just recently loaded in PWS, last night at 4:30am to be exact, and when I try to run any ASP pages, I keep getting the 'Open From Current Location or Save to Disk' pop up box. The ASP pages just won't run.

Is there a reason for this?

Thanks,

Jenny

Sup Jen?

Are your asp files in a virtual directory within your inetpub/

http://wwwroot/

folder?

Yes, my file is in inetpub/

http://wwwroot/

folder. It's a simple file that looks like this:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<html>

<body>
The Current Time is
<% Response.Write Time() %>
</body>

</html>

Called "CurrentTime.asp"

If I try to double click it in the folder, my system loads up Adobe GoLive to view it. When I go to the browser view, IE, I just get:
The Current Time is

If I view the source code, I get the same as above. No parsing to a regular HTML page.

Any ideas?

Try <%=Response.Write Time() %>

No Change!

Jenny -

You have to set the application permissions of the directory to "Execute" so that the asp scripts can run.

Open up the Personal Web Manager, click on the "Advanced" tab, then select the "Home" directory and click the "Edit Properties" button.

Select the "Execute" option of the "Application Permission" section.

Your asp pages should run perfectly now =^)

You have to do this for each subdirectory that contains scripts (asp, js, or vbs...)

Also, the code I use to display the time is:

Code:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<html>

    <body>
        The Current Time is
        <%= Time() %>
    </body>

</html>

Jenny,

Try this,

<body>
The Current Time is <%=Time()%>
</body>

Still hasn't worked even after I did the following:

Open up the Personal Web Manager, click on the "Advanced" tab, then select the "Home" directory and click the "Edit Properties" button.

Select the "Execute" option of the "Application Permission" section.

I am running SQLSever7.0. Is causing a problem?

Thanks,

Are you accessing the page via http:// protocol such as:

http://localhost/sharname/fileName.asp

??

JennyPeters · Jan 11, 2002

Link9!

Thanks for your 2 cents!
I used:

http://localhost/wwwroot/CurrentTime.asp

and it worked!
So I have to use localhost/whateverfolderIamIn/filename.asp everytime?

Thanks so much!

yes, ASP is a server based technology, accessing it via http:// tells your PWS to "serve" the page, or process it.
