IIS Problem?

hosefo81 · April 10th, 2004, 02:51 AM

        Previously, i did a project using PHP, Apache and MySQL.I stopped the apache and MySQL.
        Now, I want to start to learn ASP. i have open Add/Remove Windows Components found in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and place a tick in the check box for Internet Information Services (IIS).i restart the computer and then i create note.asp.
<html>
<body>
<%
response.write("Hello World!")
%>
</body>
</html>

       However, when i try to run it. The browser does not display anything.So, i go to Control panel, perfomance and maintenance, administrative tool, IIS. i showed that the default web site stopped. when i right click and click browse, it shows Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.Apache/1.3.28 Server at localhost Port 80.
       Does this means that i must unistalled Apache from my PC? Or i have miss anything in my installation or i have to do any configuration?

Please HElP!

I run apache and IIS myself (XP) you may only have one web server running at one time on port 80 (You can run them at the same time on different ports). I am using sokkit, it gives you a facility to start and stop apache (otherwise go into services and stop it manualy)

::The browser does not display anything
It should be giving you some kind of error?

Are you logged in as administrator??
What OS/IIS version do you have?
Did you place your note.asp in your web servers root?
What was the syntax you used when trying to browse to the page?

No you do not have to uninstall apache

Have another read of my post. There are some questions in there that will asisst me assisting you, if answered.

Rather than trying to view your own .asp page you should follow the reccomended procedure. If IIS is installed, started and permissions are correct you should be able type in http://yourComputerName.localstart.asp

Try Response.Write "Hello World."
No parenthesis.

mat41 · April 27th, 2004, 05:53 PM

parenthesis are optional, they will make no difference.

Are you using IIS 6.0?
What exact syntax are you using to view your page?

If you are using IIS 6.0 there are some settings you need to enable, previous versions had these enabled by default. I guess we will have to wait for you to pay your bill to get a response, good luck tiger

IIS 6.0 All you ever wanted to know - and more

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...s/default.mspx

.asp pages will not run on a default instal. They are diabled along with the ability run include files, snmp, smtp etc.. it's all expalined in the above link - these setting are controlled in the properties of your default web site.

IIS versions < 6.0 have these setting turned on by default. I believe 6.0 is a marked improvement in security. hopefully goes a way towards changing the open source (or should I say anti microsoft) coders attitudes. They do have a valid point, there does seems to be security issues raised on a regular basis.

If your pages are not running due to .net issues I probably wont be much help. However if they are IIS related I may be of assistance, dont hesitate to drop me a line - what part of the USA are you from, I have done allot of skiing there. Is web development your job or an interest?
