I'm running FP 2002 on XP Pro and can't get ASP installed. I recently
installed the IIS from my XP Pro CD, and I thought that the ASP engine was a
component of IIS. But when I try to test it out by creating a new web page
with the code
<body>
<%
Response.Write "hello, world"
%>
</body>
and save that as asptest.asp, go into preview - nothing.
I'm really in the dark & would appreciate any help.
 
Have you published to http://www.mywebsite.com? IIS on Windows XP Pro will
only respond to

http://localhost

http://127.0.0.1

http://123.456.789.123 where those numbers are the IP address of your PC
on your LAN (if you are on a LAN)

http://machinename (machinename is the name given to your PC and can be
seen in Properties when right clicking My Computer.)

http://www.mywebsite.com if and only if you have set up a DNS server or
the Hosts file to point www.mywebsite.com at your PC.

If you have published the site, then your host must deal with the ASP -
this is a setting on the server, not your PC.
 
Ronx,

Thanks for the info. When I said http://www.mywebsite.com, "mywebsite"
refers to my existing website that's been out there for 5 years now. Are you
saying the server that hosts my website deals with ASP, and not my PC?
 
Correct
Your server that hosts the website must be able to process asp pages, since
these are server-side scripts.
