inetserver asp general:
hi Everybody,
I just made a simple web site using Frontpage 2003 with a simple MS Accesss database. IF I try to open the asp page in a browser by typing http://localhost/mysite/db.asp it opens just fine However if I try to opeb it by typing c:/mysite/db.asp 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. Any solution to this ? tia

I've just started learning frontpage and I bought a tutorial DVD in which
the person that produced it made a simple access database and then used Frontpage 2003 to import the database file and display the content in a table on an asp page. She was able to open the asp file using this syntax: c:/mysite/db.asp so I tried to do the same and it didn't work for me. So my question is if this is not how it's supposed to work how in the world was she able to open it correctly without using http://localhost/mysite/db.asp syntax [quoted text, click to view] "Bob Barrows [MVP]" <reb01501@NOyahoo.SPAMcom> wrote in message news:uUKIXLwJHHA.4112@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > John wrote: >> hi Everybody, >> >> I just made a simple web site using Frontpage 2003 with a simple MS >> Accesss database. >> >> IF I try to open the asp page in a browser by typing >> http://localhost/mysite/db.asp it opens just fine >> >> However if I try to opeb it by typing c:/mysite/db.asp I get the >> following error message: >> >> The Database Results component on this page is unable to display >> database content.

Here is my attempt to open guestbook.asp on my local drive (from Windows Explorer) Trevor L.'s Guestbook Note: Update and Delete are admin only functions Action Name Comments Timestamp 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. ............. Now try it on http://trevorl.mvps.org/guestbook.asp - no problems -- Cheers, Trevor L. [ Microsoft MVP - FrontPage ] MVPS Website: http://trevorl.mvps.org/ ----------------------------------------

Are you > trying to edit it? I am no ASP expert (by a long, long way !!), but surely ASP pages will only work as ASP pages when one is connected to a server. Opening as http://localhost/mysite/db.asp will open it using IIS which is installed locally (I assume). But opening as "c:/mysite/db.asp" would try to open the page as a web page (using Internet Explorer perhaps ??). There would be no connection to a server - hence the message. I have certainly found this if I open an ASP page locally. I do not have IIS (I am using XP Home), so I will always get this message. So to edit it, I explicitly open it with an editor -UltraEdit is my choice. -- Cheers, Trevor L.

OK, thanks. That's probably it. She probably didn't feel like getting into
IIS since the course is about Frontpage [quoted text, click to view] "Bob Barrows [MVP]" <reb01501@NOyahoo.SPAMcom> wrote in message news:ec3ZSy1JHHA.2140@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... > John wrote: >> I've just started learning frontpage and I bought a tutorial DVD in >> which the person that produced it made a simple access database and >> then used Frontpage 2003 to import the database file and display the >> content in a table on an asp page. >> >> She was able to open the asp file using this syntax: c:/mysite/db.asp so >> I tried to do the same and it didn't work for me. >> >> So my question is if this is not how it's supposed to work how in >> the world was she able to open it correctly without using >> http://localhost/mysite/db.asp syntax >> > > I would suspect there was some "movie magic".
