asp_web_howto thread: PWS


Message #1 by rg1@h... on Thu, 19 Apr 2001 19:42:24
Hello.



I'm currently using PWS to develope my site. I can't figure out something 

though. When I change my home directory in PWS to something else and 

choose another default page, I still have the original page come up. I 

tried stopping and restarting, closing out PWS and reopening it - even 

rebooted my PC, to no avail.



However, after a few hours when I try again, I now have the correct latest 

default page show up.



What can I do to have PWS immediately show the changed default page? It's 

driving me nuts!



TIA.



Rita

How is your Development Set up? I have PWS on my home machine, and have no

problems. I am using InterDev and using C:\inetput\wwwroot as my project

directory. So I am always working with the live files. And have no problem

with it.

Rita,



I use PWS all the time. I have no problems because I always create a virtual

directory to reference the site I'm working on.  For example, I make a real

dir called NewCarSite, then I create a virtual dir with the same name

pointing to the real dir (note it doesn't have to be in the wwwroot dir).

Then on my browser I type http://localhost/NewCarSite and it opens up to the

default page in that virtual dir.  Works great!



Give it a try.

Roger

Hi Roger. 



Thanks for the response. I'm able to get to my new site as you described.

However, when in Personal Web Manager on the Main menu, when I click on the

"Your Home Page is Available At" http://localhost that's where the problem

is. It seems to hold the old information in memory for a certain period of

time (several hours at least) and I keep on getting my old page.

Hi Mike.



Thanks for the suggestion. I tried putting my files in c:\inetpub\wwwroot

I'm able to get to my new page by opening up the browser and then typing the

Rita,



So you're claiming that you make changes to an ASP page they don't show up?

The old page shows?  Well if it were an HTML page I would say it might be a

caching problem.  Sometimes Netscape fails to load new changes too.  Try

making a change and refreshing.  Sometimes Java windows don't refresh when

they open previous ASP pages.  If that doesn't work, delete/rename the

default file to produce an error msg (page not found) then rename/restore it

back. Other than these options, I can't think why your page would go to an

old page. Are you sure you're changing the correct file?

Hi Roger.



It's not changes that don't show up, it's a different page that I designated

as my default that doesn't show up. In PWS I change the default page (from

maurice.htm to rita.htm) and rita.htm doesn't show up. When I double click

on the link to my home page in PWS, maurice.htm shows up. I tried copying

the code in rita.htm, deleting the code in maurice.htm, and pasting

rita.htm's code into maurice.htl. Still got maurice.htm screen popping up!

Subject: [asp_web_howto] PWS





Hello.



I'm currently using PWS to develope my site. I can't figure out something

though. When I change my home directory in PWS to something else and

choose another default page, I still have the original page come up. I

tried stopping and restarting, closing out PWS and reopening it - even

rebooted my PC, to no avail.



However, after a few hours when I try again, I now have the correct latest

default page show up.



What can I do to have PWS immediately show the changed default page? It's

driving me nuts!



TIA.



Rita

Are you using a standalone PC, or are you on a network?



If you are on a network with a Proxy Server, make sure your PWS's address is

in the Proxy Exception List of your browser

Rita,



So you're claiming that you make changes to an ASP page they don't show up?

The old page shows?  Well if it were an HTML page I would say it might be a

caching problem.  Sometimes Netscape fails to load new changes too.  Try

making a change and refreshing.  Sometimes Java windows don't refresh when

they open previous ASP pages.  If that doesn't work, delete/rename the

default file to produce an error msg (page not found) then rename/restore it

back. Other than these options, I can't think why your page would go to an

old page. Are you sure you're changing the correct file?

Hi Roger.



Thanks for the response. I'm able to get to my new site as you described.

However, when in Personal Web Manager on the Main menu, when I click on the

"Your Home Page is Available At" http://localhost that's where the problem

is. It seems to hold the old information in memory for a certain period of

time (several hours at least) and I keep on getting my old page.

Rita,



I use PWS all the time. I have no problems because I always create a virtual

directory to reference the site I'm working on.  For example, I make a real

dir called NewCarSite, then I create a virtual dir with the same name

pointing to the real dir (note it doesn't have to be in the wwwroot dir).

Then on my browser I type http://localhost/NewCarSite and it opens up to the

default page in that virtual dir.  Works great!



Give it a try.

In IE5:



Tools/options/connections/LAN Settings/Advanced



then at the bottom of the dialog there is the exceptions bit, just enter

your machine name (separeted with a ; if there are others already there)



You can clear the browser cache (if thats what you're asking...) by going

into



tools/options(temporary internet files)/delete files



you can also go into settings and tell it to get latest version every visit

to the page.



You can prevent your ASPs from being cached by putting



<% response.expires=0 %>



at the top of the script.  It seems to be general practice in the ASP world

to put this in every ASP.  However, this should be used with caution,

because by doing this you are missing out on the performance advantages that

caching provides.  If it is imperative that the ASP is run every time its

requested, then this line does need to go in.  However sometimes an ASP may

just be getting and displaying data which does not change from one request

to the next, in which case it is a waste of server resources if the script

is having to run each time.  So in that case you should either leave out

that line, or set the expiry to a reasonable time limit (you can also use

ExpiresAbsolute to specify an actual date and time).

IIS does cache pages, presume PWS works the same way.  If you are updating

your ASP files with a program that makes use of FrontPage Extensions (e.g.

InterDev or FrontPage) then the cached copy is replaced every time the file

is updated.  However, if you are updating your files directly with notepad,

then you may run into difficulties and have to do the whole renaming thing.



I remember this being a big problem in the bad old days of IIS3, but I

haven't experienced problems of this nature with IIS4.

In answer to Daniel - How would I clear the cache? I thought by stopping,

restarting PWS that would do it. Certainly by rebooting my pc. Neither of

those made any difference.



In response to Alex - I'm on a network with a Proxy Server. How would I go

about adding my PWS's address to the Proxy Exception List of my browser? I

checkout Tools, Options but couldn't find anything there about the list.

Rita,



So you're claiming that you make changes to an ASP page they don't show up?

The old page shows?  Well if it were an HTML page I would say it might be a

caching problem.  Sometimes Netscape fails to load new changes too.  Try

making a change and refreshing.  Sometimes Java windows don't refresh when

they open previous ASP pages.  If that doesn't work, delete/rename the

default file to produce an error msg (page not found) then rename/restore it

back. Other than these options, I can't think why your page would go to an

old page. Are you sure you're changing the correct file?

Hi Roger.



Thanks for the response. I'm able to get to my new site as you described.

However, when in Personal Web Manager on the Main menu, when I click on the

"Your Home Page is Available At" http://localhost that's where the problem

is. It seems to hold the old information in memory for a certain period of

time (several hours at least) and I keep on getting my old page.

Rita,



I use PWS all the time. I have no problems because I always create a virtual

directory to reference the site I'm working on.  For example, I make a real

dir called NewCarSite, then I create a virtual dir with the same name

pointing to the real dir (note it doesn't have to be in the wwwroot dir).

Then on my browser I type http://localhost/NewCarSite and it opens up to the

default page in that virtual dir.  Works great!



Give it a try.

Roger

Hello.



I'm currently using PWS to develope my site. I can't figure out something

though. When I change my home directory in PWS to something else and

choose another default page, I still have the original page come up. I

tried stopping and restarting, closing out PWS and reopening it - even

rebooted my PC, to no avail.



However, after a few hours when I try again, I now have the correct latest

default page show up.



What can I do to have PWS immediately show the changed default page? It's

driving me nuts!



TIA.

In IE5:



Tools/options/connections/LAN Settings/Advanced



then at the bottom of the dialog there is the exceptions bit, just enter

your machine name (separeted with a ; if there are others already there)



You can clear the browser cache (if thats what you're asking...) by going

into



tools/options(temporary internet files)/delete files



you can also go into settings and tell it to get latest version every visit

to the page.



You can prevent your ASPs from being cached by putting



<% response.expires=0 %>



at the top of the script.  It seems to be general practice in the ASP world

to put this in every ASP.  However, this should be used with caution,

because by doing this you are missing out on the performance advantages that

caching provides.  If it is imperative that the ASP is run every time its

requested, then this line does need to go in.  However sometimes an ASP may

just be getting and displaying data which does not change from one request

to the next, in which case it is a waste of server resources if the script

is having to run each time.  So in that case you should either leave out

that line, or set the expiry to a reasonable time limit (you can also use

ExpiresAbsolute to specify an actual date and time).

does the page load correctly? Does it show all of your changes? If those are

yes, and you close your browser and re-navigate to the same page, does it

If you answered yes to the first one, and no to the second, you have

something configured incorrectly. You are either not editing live pages, you

are not saving to your web directory, or your files are not being published

correctly.



When your post first started you mentioned 'Changing your Home Directory'

and 'default page' what did you change it to? In PWS the default is

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\, did you change this? Where did you change it in, PWS or

interdev?

Using InterDev, one other thing you may want to try.

Get into InterDev and create a new project.  4 steps

Step 1...make sure it comes up with localhost:80, make sure Secure Sockets

is unchecked, and make sure MASTER is checked NOT  LOCAL....Master

automatically updates, local does not.



After pressing NEXT a window should tell you it is connecting to the Web

Server



Step 2...Give the new project a name i.e.  TEST   and press NEXT

Step 3...Choose <none> for no layout  and press NEXT

Step 4...Choose <none> for no theme   and press FINISH



Window should say Creating Project File and Status Line should show copying

various parts such as script files etc.



If above works OK, click add item and pull in your html and asp in question.

If not, you have a bigger problem.  After adding, if the updates work as

described by JstMeHr4u3 below, you probably created the original project

using LOCAL instead of MASTER.

the server automatically when you save a file (for example if your project

files reside on a Novell server), in which case you cave to right click on

the file and choose "update server" from the popup menu

Hi Alex.



Thanks for all your input. When launching my web site through PWS I'm still

getting the original page that I renamed (so technically it doesn't exist)!

Since I now go through the browser and not PWS to bring up my page, I have a

workaround. It would be nice to figure it out though!

Hi Roger. 



Thanks for the response. I'm able to get to my new site as you described.

However, when in Personal Web Manager on the Main menu, when I click on the

"Your Home Page is Available At" http://localhost that's where the problem

is. It seems to hold the old information in memory for a certain period of

time (several hours at least) and I keep on getting my old page.

Rita,



I use PWS all the time. I have no problems because I always create a virtual

directory to reference the site I'm working on.  For example, I make a real

dir called NewCarSite, then I create a virtual dir with the same name

pointing to the real dir (note it doesn't have to be in the wwwroot dir).

Then on my browser I type http://localhost/NewCarSite and it opens up to the

default page in that virtual dir.  Works great!



Give it a try.

I'm currently using PWS to develope my site. I can't figure out something

tried stopping and restarting, closing out PWS and reopening it - even 

rebooted my PC, to no avail.



However, after a few hours when I try again, I now have the correct latest

What can I do to have PWS immediately show the changed default page? It's

Hi Mike.



Thanks for the suggestion. I tried putting my files in c:\inetpub\wwwroot

and still had the same problem.



I'm able to get to my new page by opening up the browser and then typing the

URL as http://localhost/rita.asp. It's when I'm in Personal Web Manager Main

menu and click on the URL there that the problem arises.



At least I can get to my new page now but I'd like to know if there's

Hi Roger.



It's not changes that don't show up, it's a different page that I designated

as my default that doesn't show up. In PWS I change the default page (from

maurice.htm to rita.htm) and rita.htm doesn't show up. When I double click

on the link to my home page in PWS, maurice.htm shows up. I tried copying

the code in rita.htm, deleting the code in maurice.htm, and pasting

rita.htm's code into maurice.htl. Still got maurice.htm screen popping up!

Rita,



So you're claiming that you make changes to an ASP page they don't show up?

The old page shows?  Well if it were an HTML page I would say it might be a

caching problem.  Sometimes Netscape fails to load new changes too.  Try

making a change and refreshing.  Sometimes Java windows don't refresh when

they open previous ASP pages.  If that doesn't work, delete/rename the

default file to produce an error msg (page not found) then rename/restore it

back. Other than these options, I can't think why your page would go to an

old page. Are you sure you're changing the correct file?

In answer to Daniel - How would I clear the cache? I thought by stopping,

restarting PWS that would do it. Certainly by rebooting my pc. Neither of

those made any difference.



In response to Alex - I'm on a network with a Proxy Server. How would I go

about adding my PWS's address to the Proxy Exception List of my browser? I

checkout Tools, Options but couldn't find anything there about the list.

I think that the reference was to the cache on the browser rather than 

the server in the first instance. If you are using IE, you can get to 

it via Tools, Internet Options then select Delete in the Temporary
