Database Not Seen

[Earl Partridge]

Frontpage 2000, Access 2000, XP Pro

Just upgraded to XP Pro. In the past, with Windows 98 all my databases were
stored in a central (root type) folder called DB, and all database
connections
worked fine. Now with XP (Using built in IIS), with new hard drive, etc., I
can not
access any of my databases. I have used ODBC to set the DSN.

After reading most of the messages in this newsgroup, it appears that
perhaps
the database needs to reside on each individual web... in the "fpdb" folder.
I
have never used the Database Interface Wizard in the past. Do I need to use
that and keep the database in a folder named fpdb?

I have a feeling it has to do with ASP and Frontpage. I just created a
test.asp
page with a Response.Write "Hello World", and nothing was written.

 

[Jens Peter Karlsen[FP MVP]]

No, you don't need to use the Wizard. Just write your own ASP to interact with the DB.

From your simple test though it appears that ASP are not supported on the Server.

Would that server be the IIS 5.1 that was included with XP Pro?
And any suggestion as to how to get ASP supported?
I've been searching MS KBs and every attempt to download FP 2000
Extensions indicates that I either already have or don't need the item
I'm asking for.

Out of the box IIS supports ASP and installs the FP2000 extensions.

According the Microsoft's page:
"To enable ASP pages
1.
In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, and then click Web Service
Extensions.

2.
In the details pane, click Active Server Pages, and then click Allow.

I open IIS, expand the local computer but do not have Web Service
Extensions.
Two folders exist, Web Sites and Default SMTP Virtual Server.
Expanded both
of those and neither provide Web Service Extensions managment.

What am I missing?

IIS is installed from Add/Remove Programs > Windows Setup.....etc It is on the
Windows XP Pro install disk.

Its just a simple Response.write "Hello World" enclosed in the asp <% %>
and saved as test.asp
I guess I was confused with the relationship between IIS and the FP Server
Extensions, thinking that also related to ASP. I'll swing over to the IIS
group
and see what I can find.
Thanks.

Earl, you have it enter as:

you are calling test.asp as:

Correct, I have it written is you show, but I try to run it from within
Frontpage with "Preview in Browser".
I tried the http://localhost/test.asp and page was not found. The file
resides
in my c:\inetput\wwwroot.... folder.
In the IIS newsgroup there was a similar problem posted where the discussion
seemed to relate to what appeared to be a VB programming issue. I'm going
back there to see if anyone has addressed my problem.
