ASP Folder
Hi, I'm having a few problems with my ASP and MS Access database on my college Intranet. This problem first started when there server crashed, but it is ok now.
The main problem is that every link i click on which contains the MS Access database opens a a blank page contains "This page can't be displayed", But it work ok on my local computer, and yes, i have change the connection string!
Is it a problem having the site in /intranet/ASP??? Thats the only change i have done, Apart from starting again with the hole site.
Thanks for you help.

I think i have ruled out that it is not the file name problem. Create new file, new database, new connection, new everything. And it still appears with
HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer
Nothing has changed in IIS and ASP still works becuase i tryed the "Date and Time" test.
Thanks again

I haven't worked in ASP for over 3 years now, and I never ran a site off of Access. So I don't know how much I can be.
Sounds like your using DSN-less connections? If not, try that.
Other than that, I can only guess permissions on the database (.mdb file).

If there is no answer on Google, then there is no question.

Well, it definitely sounds like a database problem. Check that your db setup is identical as well as ASP/IIS. Check the basics first. Are the paths the same? Is the database properly created/copied?

i'll send this thread to my sister. she knows asp (might ight be asp.net that she knows) and she has created several dbs for a company all in access. so she might be able to help.
POSIX. because a stable os that doesn't have memory leaks and isn't buggy is always good.

Thanks all. I have found what the problem is. In IIS there was to setups. On was our Intranet the other was ASP (my old test run). We had a problem with one of our servers and it made ASP not run (permison error). So i created the site again. And it still did not work. The reason for the was i had changed the file stucture so the ASP pathon ISS didnt work no more. So all i had to do was delete the ASP virtual directory in IIS. and it worked.
If i was not goin to use access, what else could i use? and how easy is it to change?
