Page 2 - ASP Tutorial

Hello Memnoch

I followed the steps in the readme file, when i ran the website i got this error:

----
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
/core/modules/common.asp, line 69
----

I checked the ODBC in administrative tools, under the SYSTEM DSN tab, i noticed there are no

System Data Sources mentioned, i clicked on ADD, then chosed Microsoft Access Database

(*.mdb) and said OK, then i was provided with a window where i should enter the Data Source

Name and Description with other buttons below (Select, Create, Repair, Compact) I stopped

there i didn't know what to write.

What should i fill the text boxes with?

Thanks
D.

P.S:
Could this have something to do with my problem mentioned in this thread: (http://forums.aspfree.com/t30294/s.html) ??? Because the ODBC was tampered with on both machines!

make sure you have the latest MDAC installed.
You can download the latest from Microsofts website.

I am still getting the same error even after downloading and installing MDAC 2.8 as you have suggested.

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
/core/modules/common.asp, line 69

post the code on line 69 of that file.

how do you link folders?

What do you mean "link"???

Do you mean creating a Virtual Directory in IIS?

Read the following article:

in youe readme.txt it says "3) In IIS create a virtual directory named 'core' (without the single quotes)
and link it to your C:\core directory."

I see what you mean now.

Hi!
Followed your instruktions but only get page not found when I try to open up the index.asp file.

Is the default path in IIS correctly mapped to where the tutorial is located?

uploading and deleting files in folders ! without components
at the same time storing the filename and description in a database
it´s a good subject to a tutorial aldo assigning unique names so the files never will be deleted by acident

Thank you for the tutorial. Is the script JScript or VBScript?

Hi!

I was trying to go through the tutorial in an attempt to discern my problem with
ASP. I am running IIS 5.0 on windows 2000 pro. I have created a webpage and
the HTML works fine. However, when I tried my guestbook and rsvp ASP files
I ran into problems. They are simple files, writing to a text file which is in turn
read (#include) by another to present comments to the world. However, the
page hangs - no error, just looks like it is downloading forever - when I hit submit.
After this occurs, any attempt to use an ASP page results in"
"HTTP Error 500-12 Application Restarting
Internet Information Services"

I downloaded the tutorial and as far I understand followed all the readme
instructions. I was hoping this would provide me with some insight (this is my first
use of IIS and ASP, although I have programmed a number of languages before).
Refreshing (which is what M$ says should solve this) does not change anything.

Any suggestions? I can't say I am certain what is meant by
"the connectionstring in the global.asa file" referred to in an earlier post.

Thanks,
Derek
