Novice in ASP , Pls help...
hi,
I am new to ASP so may be I have a silly question..but then it matters to me alot and I shall be obliged if anyone can help me in this regard. I installed ASP on my win 2000 prof m/c by uploading IIS. Now when I try to run ASP Programs for displaying the content, I am able to do that. But when I try to display a user input to the screen , it gives me "Page cannot be displayed" Then localstart.asp comes up with the following message.... You do not currently have a default document set for your users. Any users attempting to connect to this site are currently receiving an "Under Construction page". If I try to open http://localhost/localstart.asp then also i get the same message as above. I have tried to set the default document by going into my computer>>manage>>IIS> .... still things are not falling in place, any help in this regard would be highly appreciated. Regards, Ziby

IIS configuration???
It sounds as if you IIS isn't configured correctly.
I know you have said you have done this but please try again to make sure. Open IIS. Right click Default Website and select properties. Select the Documents tab. Click the add button and add the name of your initial document. (If you don't have one I will suggest something as as starting point) Type Index.html in the Add Default Document Name window and click OK. (This is case sensitive) Move this document to the top of the list and click OK. Now create a document named Index.html (Case important) For example purposes use the following as the content for Index.html. Code:
<HEAD><TITLE>Hello World</TITLE></HEAD> <HTML> <BODY>Hello World!</BODY> </HTML> Save this file in the root of your WWWRoot directory. (C:\Inetpub\WWWRoot) (Usually) Click START Click RUN type http://Localhost Your page should open with Hello World as the title and Hello World! as the text. Does this work for you? If not restart IIS. Easyiest way to explain this is to reboot your PC. (You can right click your PC name in IIS and select All task and then Restart IIS. I would shut down your PC and start it up again for completeness)

_____________________________FINISHED_____________ _________________________________ Thank you so much for the help sir but i guess it did not work for me. I reinstalled the IIS and till the step http://localhost everything is working fine. The hello world program is displayed correctly. Now when I type the following code in the Index.asp file..... <html> <% dim cars cars=Request.Form("cars") %> <body> <form action="demo_radiob.asp" method="post"> <p>Please select your favorite car:</p> <input type="radio" name="cars" <%if cars="Volvo" then Response.Write("checked")%> value="Volvo">Volvo</input> <br /> <input type="radio" name="cars" <%if cars="Saab" then Response.Write("checked")%> value="Saab">Saab</input> <br /> <input type="radio" name="cars" <%if cars="BMW" then Response.Write("checked")%> value="BMW">BMW</input> <br /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> <% if cars<>"" then Response.Write("<p>Your favorite car is: " & cars & "</p>") end if %> </body> </html> I need to have the output printed back to the screen which user selected but it gives me "Page cannot be displayed" When I click on the local host hyperlink then it comes up with two webpages...one with the same error message and the other with welcome to IIS . The problem is not that the page isn't printed but that the user input is not printed back to the screen. Waiting for your reply sir, Ziby

The appears to be to display the text on screen.
Save the index.asp file in the wwwroot directory and type the following in your Internet Explorer address bar. http://localhost/index.asp This should work fine. If you type http://localhost in your address bar this will use IIS to find the default documents as configured above. If there isn't a default document then the error will be displayed. If you manually put a file name on the end yourself, that is, you don't rely upon IIS to find it for you, then the computer will look in the wwwroot directory for the file. So... http://localhost/Mydirectory/mysubdirectory/index.asp actually translates to: (for the computer) C:/inetpub/wwwroot/Mydirectory/mysubdirectory/index.asp BUT, typing this in the browser address bar will not work as the computer has not been instructed to run the correct engine to run your script and HTML. All I did to test your script was copy your text to notepad, save the file as index.asp to the C:\inetpub\wwwroot directory, open up Internet Explorer and type http://localhost/index.asp in the address bar. This loads your page fine. If I wanted this to be my default page I would configure IIS as before but the document at the top of the list would be index.asp and not index.html. Please note: If you experience problems with your code please post this in the correct forum. This helps you as there are more people viewing the coding forums. (You were correct to post here this time!) Good luck and keep posting.
