I have a site hosted with a company in the US who it seems have given me a
dedicated server for one of my sites:

http://216.133.81.184/

1. Firstly, I can upload files to the wwwroot (directly into the root) as
this seems to be set as the home directory
a. Is this the right way to do it, as I have never seen this before ???

2. Classic ASP works in the root: http://216.133.81.184/test.asp

3. asp.net (using vb) does not work in the root:
http://216.133.81.184/hello3.aspx

4. But does asp.net works in a sub folder:
http://216.133.81.184/carresa_site/hello3.aspx

Has the .net framework been installed properly ?
Have the host setup the server correctly ??

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi James,

It seems like host misconfiguration. Have them allow script execution from
the WWW root and probably configure the root as a Web application.
 
Hi Dmitriy,

Thanks for the reply. I have spoke to a few people now about this and your
comments echo everybody else's.

"host misconfiguration"

Thanks
James
