Frontpage ASP database and IIS5.1 on XP

I created an ASP database page with frontpage which connects to an access
database. I am trying to test the page on my test websever. (The Webserver
is Windows XP Pro running IIS5.1) I only use this to test my code out and
make sure it works. The problem is, when I try and access the Results page
is says, "This page can not be found", but I can access the index page
"Database Interface". All the other html pages work but ASP does not.
Any advise thanks.
 
If you are running under http://localhost (or your machine name) make sure your path are correct
- especially if IIS has parent patching turned on

Yes I am running under my machine name. all the paths that I know of seem
to be correct(if possible what other paths are there?)
How can I find out if IIS has parent patching turned on.

Note I know some stuff about IIS but I am not advanced with it at all.
Thanks
 
Hi Joe,

That would be "parent pathing" or "parent paths." Stefan must have
accidentally misspelled it. Parent paths are paths that start with "../" or
"./", indicating a path above the folder in which the current resource
resides (such as an HTML or ASP page). This is often turned off by default
as a security measure, to prevent certain types of hacks which use parent
paths in a URL to navigate above the web server path to the system folders.

To find out if it is enabled, open the IIS admin tool, right-click the
Default Web Site, and select "Properties" from the context menu. Go to the
"Home Directory" tab and click the "Configuration" button. In the dialog box
that appears, select the "Options" tab, and you should see the option with a
check box next to it.

Selected the checkbox that says "Enable parent paths". And tried the page,
still NG.
2 more questions, first the "Default ASP language" is VBScript should this
be changed to ASP or something. Second do I need to restart the computer?(I
restarted the deault webpage)

Thanks

The default language needs to stay set to VBScript.

Under the specific web in the IIS MMC, go to the Home Directory tab, at the bottom delete and
recreate/configure the application, then re-start IIS.

Followed your directions but still am unable to access any ASP pages. Does
IIS5.1 that is with XP PRO have .asp with it or do I have to install a
program to allow this?

IIS 5.1 automatically should support ASP under Windows XP Pro

I created a web page useing the "Database Interface Wizard" told it to use
ASP, and an access database.

Something that may help, ASP.net works without any problems but my hosting
company charges extra for it and do not want to go that route yet.

Thanks
