Server does not support ASP. Why not?!?

[Gravisdaves]

Hello and thanks before hand! I recently built a cheap little web server for a web page for my company. I have the page up and running as a work in progress. However, while putting a page together to collect data from interested customers i ran into a problem while creating an asp page in frontpage 2002. When i try to publish the page into my wwwroot i recieve and error message that reads server does not support asp. I read up on it and installed server extensions. The page loads correctly but when i hit the submit botton to submit the information from my web page's form to the database i created it does not save info to the mdb? I am serving the page with IIS 5.1 with FPSE 2000 installed. I don't know where to go from here! please help.
thanks again, davis

I believe that you had two problems, you solved the first now to the second. Start with your connection string. HTH.

Thanks for the reply! I tried changing the connection string in the global.asa file to:
'--Project Data Connection
Application("index_ConnectionString") = "PROVIDER = Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=C:\Users\Davis\Documents\My Webs\myweb3\fpdb\index1.mdb;"
Application("index_ConnectionTimeout") = 15
Application("index_CommandTimeout") = 30
Application("index_CursorLocation") = 3
Application("index_RuntimeUserName") = ""
Application("index_RuntimePassword") = ""
of coarse changing the file path to correctly point to my publish folder, does this look about correct because i am still coming up with the same problem...

You need to debug, also look at your query. Good luck.

Everyone out there hosting on iis 5.1, change your folder options to nt mode. This was the problem that i ran into while trying to host my site. Go to Start> Control Panel> Folder options> View tab and scroll down to "Use simple file sharing" at the very bottom and turn it off. Then find your wwwroot, right click> properties> security tab and find the internet user profile and grant the correct permissions that you want. Again be aware of what permisions you are allowing. You should only do this if you know what you want to do.
