Begin asp

[Paul Ilacqua]

I can't seem to get started. I cannot run an asp script on my personal web
server (my laptop) I can go to it's home page ok but to run an asp page it
just sits there and says web page found waitng for reply, with an horglass.
Where do I begin?

Thanks
Paul

Ray,
I have a working machine where the code I'm using is working just fine.
It's just canned examples from a book. I connect to SQL Server or Access
just fine.
That's why I'm frustrated. It's my development machine that has this
problem. The setup looks identical to the "working" machine. I don't mind
the work to troubleshoot it, I just don't know where to start.

Thanks
Paul

A good place to start would be to show us the code, as Ray suggested. It
sounds like you forgot a Recordset.MoveNext call, but without seeing the
code, we'll never know.

A good place to start is to create a simple HelloWorld.asp page and see if
that runs:

<%
Response.Write "Hello World"
%>

No... the hello world script does not run. it just sits there with the
status bar barely moving saying opening... Like I said I'm sure the code is
OK because it works fine on another machine.

Thanks so far
Paul

OK, now we are getting somewhere. We have now determined that no outside
dll's are involved in this problem. ASP is simply not running. Without
details about your OS or IIS version it's hard to provide further
assistance. Here's an article over at aspfaq that may contain your answer:

The code may or may not be okay. There are differences between the
systems, so the code may need changes. Or permissions may need to be
changed on the system. Without specifics, we can't really point to
much, we don't even know what operating system you use.

Start with the Hello World! script and don't even attempt your other
code until it works. Tell us how you're running it, what URL you use
in the browser, error messages that appear if any, whether a plain
HTML file works and so on. And please at least clue us in on your
operating system on the laptop.

OS is Win2K with all updates. Call is http://barcodehome/w.asp where w.asp
is the Hello World Script File.
http://barcodehome/ brings up my home page, that does not contain any ASP.
So it looks like ASP is the
culprit. When I enter http://barcodehome/w.asp in the Start - run box I get
web site found. Waiting for reply... in the bottom left status bar. The
progress bar creeps along on the bottom right, and will run on forever.
I appreciate all your help.

Do you have Norton Antivirus? Have you enabled script blocking? If so,
disable it.
