I'm not a networking/IT guy, but I was put in charge of figuring out how to use ASP to tap into an Oracle db for my office. I am using a windows 2000 laptop, and I want to be able to run ASP code on my local desktop (without being plugged into a network).
I need a lot of help here. I know I have to turn my computer into a webserver, but I'm not certain what I need to do with the IIS. What do I need to do in general to make my computer a webserver? In addition, I will be using a local Oracle database. So I wasn't sure what I would need to do to make that db available for querying with ASP. What is the best way to make that connection?
I would like to evaluate some shopping cart software to use on my next project. I am new to asp and as yet my hosting does not support it. Before I go ahead and upgrade my hosting I wanted to see how the various packages work.
I am running XP Pro SP2 and have installed IIS. The folders seem to be where they should be and I have access to the settings through the Administrative Tools.
When I put a htm file in the wwwroot folder it loads fine if I type http://localhost but the asp files are either downloaded or opened in dreamweaver.
Do I need to do something special to enable asp files to open on my local machine??
have an SQL DB which clients access via asp pages through the internet, in the case of a power outage I need to write that data automatically in the background to a txt file on their local machine, I would imagine it would involve a script of some kind.
I copied one of our websites to a CD and wanted to run the website off of the CD. However, it won't run the index.asp on Windows XP machine. Do I need to install some dll's or something?
when i export a dbf file from Local machine to Access in Webserver i get a message :
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
'C:WINDOWSDesktop' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
I'm using WinXP Professional SP2, I've installed IIS, but am having a problem viewing the temp version of the ASP file IE makes when you go to view an ASP page.
So, I hit F12 to bring up IE and my ASP page, IE generates a URL something like, http://localhost/MyWeb/ACEI/TMP91g0dk4dw.asp ... but that always comes back as a "File Not Found" error, however if then I replace the TMP91g0dk4dw.asp part with the actual file name e.g demo1.asp..the page runs fine.
I have written an asp page that is supposed to send email (using CDONTS). I think my code is correct, but I'm trying to test it from my local machine and although the ASP code runs I am not sure the email portion of the code works.
I have not yet received any messages from the code. Perhaps there is a delay of some sort - or perhaps it is because I am on a network behind a firewall. Whatever the case, could someone offer some suggestions in testing the emailing portion of my code? Code:
im trying to create a intranet site which copies files to the server. im guessing i should use filesystemobject to achieve this but im not sure on how to accompish this.
I have a cdo script to send an email from a web page hosted externally to my company. I want users to be able to attach multiple documents from their local machines.
How do I do this - do I need to upload them to the server first or does cdo do this automatically?
I tryed this: MyMail.AddAttachment "F:/images/test.gif" but get the error: 'The system cannot find the path specified.'
Quick question - I would like to practice my ASP scripting and wish to be able to test my applications on my web browser on my local machine.
What piece or pieces of software would I need to enable this? I have Macromedia Studio MX and Edit Plus which I assume will act as suitable editors for ASP scripts?
Is it only some kind of Personal Web Server software that I will need to run my scripts on my local machine?
i just wondering how to send email from my local machine. i mean the sending email by CDONTS is working good on the web server but not on my local machine. is it an IIS configration issue or some software i must install ?
I am trying to prevent users from submitting HTML pages from their local machine to our website and I was wondering what the best way of doing this was.
I was thinking about using the HTTP_REFERER server variable (to check where the user has submitted a page from) as a blanket fix however when you use the javascript document.location on a page the HTTP_REFERER is always blank, which makes that a flawed fix.
I have seen other sites protect against this, so I know it can be done. Whats the best way.
I have a request from a fellow conrtractor (differnt company) to have a form pass the users IP and machine name upon submission. I know that request.serverVariables("remote_addr") and request.serverVariables("remote_host") will yield the users IP but do not know of anything that will pony up the machine name. I contend that under normal circumstances a browser doesn't have access to the machine name for user security reasons but my friend doesn't agree and insists it is "somewhere in the envirnment information." He may know something I don't but he doesn't know enough to show me how to extract what he wants in the form. Further information: we are working on a Microsoft Active Directory network. This may provide some mechanism to pass that information.
I've set up remote debugging following every step in the manu from microsoft. However, I can't see mtx.exe process in romote machine, instead I only see inetinfo.exe. I attached to it and it seem works OK except that I can't set up any break point in any inc file(include file). I can use the command stepinto from an asp page to get to inc code, but I the process never stop at the break point I "set up" before I start the debugger or in the debugging process.
Can anyone help me what went wrong? or just tell me that is about what interdev debugger can do.
By the way, I use NT on server and client is a window 2000 professional.
how to insert the current user's username and machine name into a couple of textboxes to be inserted into a form. I'm creating a work order system and I would like the form to be prepopulated with this information.
I know this is actually impossible, but didn't know how else to describe it: I have created a Content Management System for a client using ASP connecting to a Access database. It doesn't do any fancy things: INSERT, UPDATE, etc. I also use ASPUpload to upload images onto the server.
When I test my CMS from my own machine and others, it all works fine. However, testing it from my client's machine, the Updating or Inserting of data ends up returning a 'page not available' error (the asp page calls itself when the form is submitted) and the changes to the database are not being executed.
I really can't figure out why this is happening. Could it be a setting on the client's browser?
I was susseesful in mapping remote machine with vbscript. Now I am building the same tool with ASP .I am using the same code but its not working. Below is the portion where I am mapping the drive: Code:
how MySQL goes with ASP (or any other language) on a Windows machine, production wise. Our website contains static pages and we're planning on making them dynamic. Cost is an issue. If anyone knows how well MySQL performs on WinNT or knows of issues I should be concerned about, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
I've already had experience with MySQL on a Linux environment and wondering if its Windows brother is on the same level. I know MySQL doesn't compare with SQL Server or Oracle when it comes to features, but it's something we're willing to give up because of cost.
Can I make somebody else view my webpage, that i made in asp-mysql on anohter machine? I tried to give my ip address to another person to view my page. But it doesnt work. i tried as : http:ip-addresslogindb.asp?
To run ASP on my machine i had to change my port for localhost to 8888 from the original. Before changing it to 8888 it was giving 'in use...' error. I got asp functioning when i changes my port to 8888. Now when i want to make others view my page can I do it?
If yes, then i was wondering why would we need space to host a website (small scall). I can always make my machine as the host machine and no need to buy space and all? do i need to make any changes to my IIS setting for any 2nd person to view my login page?
I need to get list of users on a machine (can be from exchange or a domain controller). I'm not even sure where to begin. I need this so I can populate a dropdown list of all users of our network for a helpdesk system.
