microsoft says my domain host (easyspace) should be able to run asp for a
database. My host lists iasp. Is this the same. Im using FP 2002.
Thanks in advance
 
Easyspace uses Unix servers, which do not support Access databases. MySQL
database is available.
iASP is similar to ASP, but designed for Unix servers.
 
thanks ronx, does this mean i have to use their mysql. im trying to give
prices on my site by choosing a few drop down boxes. thanks in advance
 
MySQL is one of the best database applications available for Unix servers -
it is definitely the most popular.
Some alternatives:
1) Change to a host that provides Windows servers (if you wish to use
Access)
2) Build your own database using flat text files, and write your own code
to address them.
3) Find a Shopping Cart application that uses its own "built in" database -
for example:
http://www.nightmedia.net/shop/index.html (note-this is not easy to
customise, and is not secure)
3) Hardcode the prices into your pages
