All this while I have been running my ASP pages on the webserver.
In the web server, I can access the web server through the Internet Services Manager.
Now I want to access these web pages locally, so that I do my development locally and then when it works, I move to the web server.
I have Windows XP Professional 2002
How can I access the web services within this machine?
When I type in http://localhost in this machine, i get the message-Page cannot be displayed. Cannot find server.
I am trying to test a website that uses ASP on my PC. I am running Windows 2000 and have IIS 5.0 installed.The first page is a form where the user enters a password. When the form is submitted the progress bar indicates something is happening, but I can leave it for 20 minutes and the file has not loaded.
I am using the URL http://localhost/webname /.
I have tested it on 2 servers and the script works. I have had similar problems with other ASP pages and assume the problem is something to do with IIS.I have tried re-installing IIS.
I just bought a new computer with win XP PRO. I'm trying to set it up so that I can use it as a local host and with IIS etc. I don't really know where to start. How do I start running IIS? At this point, pointing to localhost doesn't work but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing.
I have downloaded this example from this site http://www.iisworks.com/fileman/ i have tried reading the install guide but i still dont understand. I manage to set up localhost in my pc. Anyone who is kind enough to guide me thru step by step....
Is there a way I can run ASP on my localhost? I run a valid copy of Win XP pro, but I do not have the CD as it is a pre-installed version on my Dell Latitude. So, is there a way I can run ASP?
I am working with sessions to check if the user is logged in. This usually works fine and all my .asp-pages checks if: <% session.Contents("loggedIn")=True %>
But this only works on my web-hotel When I run the same pages on my localhost, it can't find any sessions and I appear to not be logged In.
I have tried to set my localhost on the "trusted sites" list and "always allow" in "override cookie handling" in my Explorer.
I have a new ASP project that I need to desperately test on my Windows 2000 machine before posing to my Hosting Company. I am having problems getting the ASP pages to run from LocalHost. I will attempt to give as much information of what I have done to try to correct this without success.
First my setup. Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 2 installed. IIS is installed. I have turned off the firewall just in case that was a problem as the laptop is operating as a stand alone and not on a network at this time. I also have VB6 with Service Pack 6 installed. I will explain later why that my be pertinent.
The error that I am getting is:
The Page Cannot Be Displayed. with a HTTP 500 error. This occurs every time I try to access a ASP page. HTML works fine from LocalHost. Code:
I'm trying to surf on a website on winXP, but IIS response is very slow. It doesn't load a lot of images (red x). Besides, it alerts always there's no connection (from each page to the following), asking whether I want to connect. The browser keeps waiting for images then it fails. What can I do?
I developed a small asp application. My problem is that everytime I use LOCALHOST, accessing and adding data on the database is OK but if I use the IP ADDRESS for accessing the website it would generate this error
Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80040E4D) Login failed for user 'MYSERVERIUSR_MYSERVER'. /o/dog_evaluation/add_dog_db.asp, line 22
I get the 404 file not found error message when I try http://localhost/xxxx.asp
I've created a virtual directory and pointed it to the asp file and the error message appears.
I've tried creating a new directory and received the same error message when I pointed it to the new asp file. I think it's something in the IIS configuration. Any ideas?
- i've downloaded a sample aspx solution, and get the following error when trying to open it:
"Unable to open web project "FormsAuth". Unable to validate that the file path "c:/downloads/ddj/aspnet/aspform/FormsAuth" matches the url path 'http://Localhost:/FormsAuth'. A connection with the server could not be established."
I have got a scenario where an asp script needs to request via xmlhttp a file sitting on the same server. The code all works find on my local machine. However, on the hosting server, it does not. The problem is that I am on a shared server and the server can't "see itself", i.e. it's probably blocked by the host to receive request from itself. The problems comes in as the server will hold multiple sites and use host headers to channel request. I thought of using "localhost" and some kind of header sending scenario to get the server to go to the correct subfolder/virtual host. However, googling has not brought up much.
Installed IIS on w2k pro, started Personal Web server and pointed the home catalogue to the folder with my asp codes. However IE keeps saying that http://localhost is not available without Internet connection. Such thing often happend on other computers, but after several refresh it worked. How shall I get rounf this now?
I have installed wamp5 on my laptop so I can develop php pages with mysql.I have started the wamp5 which give you a semi circle and three quarters of the icon is shaded yellow - this is supposed to mean that apache is running. I then type in http://localhost in the address bar and I get the "page cannot be displayed" error.
This is weird because wamp says apache is running ok.Is there any other setting that may affect the connection?If this is any help, I also have a sneaky suspicion that because I have visual studio.net installed on my laptop there may be a conflict with IIS? I have not developed any sites with visual studio yet but could there be a conflict here? Thing is, I am not sure what to look for or change?
I try to run localhost on other browser other than IE, in this case i run on FireFox Mozilla.Can anyone tell me why does the browser popup with the security windows where i need to type a Username and password. However, that wouldn't happen if i run on IE. Is there a special setting where IIS can check whether a user run scripts on that type of server on other browsers than IE.
I want to make localhost on my browser a sendto destination, so I can right click on an ASP or PHP file, choose sendto, then localhost and have a browser open up with the ASP file running in it.
I've put a link in the sendto folder with a target of localhost. That changes the icon to look like a computer monitor, but when I right click it doesn't show up in the sendto list. I know I'm in the right directory (documents and settings/myuser/sendto) because I can put a shortcut to a directory there and it shows up in the sendto list.
I have used Mailer successfully on websites before. This time, I am trying to run my Mailer code on localhost, with IIS. This line, which in general works, is now generating an error message:
set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
What I've tried so far:
set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer") set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail") set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("localhost")
I don't know if I should be trying something else, if I have to do something beyond the actual code, or if it is simply not possible to have mailer working on iis/localhost.
This is weird - when I clicked on a link to gnucleus.net, my local index page shows up. It seems that somehow typing "gnucleus.net" or "www.gnucleus.net" is equivalent to typing "localhost". It happens even when I'm not connected to the internet. What is going on???
Though I consider myself to be a fairly prominent PHP/MySQL programmer, I've come to the conclusion that if I'm ever going to get a job in a company of some size, I'll need to learn some ASP. So, I've decided to take a whack at Kevin Yanks ol' "Getting Started with ASP" article. However, the article has brought up a question.
In the article, Kevin suggestion to install IIS on ones own computer if you're running Windows 2000 (which I am). Later, he explains that to request files that are first parsed by the web server, one is to use http://localhost/and-so-on.
However, I already have phpdev installed, which, among other things, includes Apache for Windows, and http://localhost/ is what I've been using up until now to get the files parse by the Apache server.
So, when I install IIS, what decides which web server that's entitled to the http://localhost url? And will this mean that I have to drop my Apache server to install IIS?
I have a laptop running XP Pro (SP2). IIS is installed, but when I am using Frontpage I cannot get the ASP pages to run on localhost. Anyone any instructions on problems solving where my problem is?
I have patched my OS via "AutoPatcher_XP_Apr2006_Full". There is a problem now, the ASP and IIS documentation doesn't work. Does anybody have the same problem?
I have a desktop with XP Pro that happily runs my ASP pages via localhost and a laptop also with XP Pro that won't. A very simple web page without any ASP in it will run as page.htm but not as page.asp; XP Pro is running IIS 5; all windows updates are up to date. Pages simply displays Server Application Error message
I don't even know where to go to find more diagnostics (friendly messages is already switched off)
I have installed iis and setup a new virtual directory, I then try to view it with the correct address but IE just hangs, nothing appears except the title on the titlebar and busy cursor. Going to view>source shows the source (which is correct).
This was a previously working website, I just moved the files onto a new computer. And wanted to use that instead. More info can be supplied if required. Alternatively, a good website showing how to setup iis again for asp including db's.
I trying to run a sample asp web application, using IIS as a localhost testing server. I have created a virual directory called global with path C:/global/asp/. I also have a another website sitting in the default root folder in intpub/wwwroot. then i use localhost my old website home page starts up not my virtual directory site global if I type localhost/global/asp/filename.asp, I get cant find.
What am I doing wrong, what do I have to do to get virtual directory site to run and not the old site in wwwroot folder. I start and stop IIS from the right click from the default web site.
If I run Server.MapPath("/") on my operational Internet server I get, correctly, the physical path to the directory my page is in (d:.......htdocs).
If I run Server.MapPath("/") on my intranet server, my localhost, I get c:inetpubwwwroot, but my webpages are NOT in this folder, they are in c:webtest.
How to I establish the correct physical root on my intranet server?
I am trying to play with ASP on my home computer. I am placing a "hello.asp" page with simple code in C:Inetpub or C:Inetpubwwwroot and running it and am getting:
The page cannot be displayed. The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings. I am running Windows 2000 Server, and I just stripped off Apache/ MySQL. I am not sure what I need to do to allow myself to run ASP pages on my home computer.
I am having a problem using server.execute on my local machine.
I have set up a virtual directory in IIS call "UltraCamp"
When I use [VBS]server.execute("/scripts/calcenrollment.asp") [/VBS]
it looks for the file in the localhost root instead of the ultracamp root. I can change to[VBS]server.execute("/ultracamp/scripts/calcenrollment.asp") [/VBS] but that is a pain because I have to change it everytime I post to the live site.
What do I need to change to make this work correctly?
Has anyone succesfuly sent emails from Windows XP using localhost and if so can you please post a functional code?
My codes work fine on Win2000, but after upgrading to XP, I get all kinds of errors. When I correct the first one, another one creeps up. The latest am now getting is "send using ..... is invalid'
I know I can solve this peoblem by registering CDONTS. DLL on my XP box, BUT I want to use CDOSYS and not CDONTS. CDONTS is being phased out. Code:
