RUNNING Frontpage / Database on my local pc

[Guest]

Hi All

I have created a database using the wizard in frontapge 2003, I have IIS installed and running (i think) on my local pc, however when i try and run a database query from my local pc i get the following error message :

The Database Results component on this page is unable to display database content. The page must have a filename ending in '.asp', and the web must be hosted on a server that supports Active Server Pages

So how should i set up my PC so I can run and test my website with database access locally, without having to publish it

Please help its driving me mental ...... or should that be more mental !!

Many thank

Neil.

It sounds like you may have installed IIS, but are not using it. To create a
database-connective web site, it must be hosted on a web server. In your
home computer's case, that would be http://localhost.

Adding to Kevin's info: IIS must be started and running, as well as the
World Wide Web Publishing Service.

Hi Kevin

Hi Neil,

Administring IIS is a kind of big issue. Here's a link to the Microsoft IIS
web site:
