ASPRunnerPro General questions

Hi there,
I am trying to setup a MySQL database access to an intranet and I am trying to decide which program, either ASPRunner PRO or PHPRunner works best for me.
The problems that I have with both programs are

  1. ASPRunner : I am unable to connect to the database by using the Wizard. It tells me that the user ODBC is not recognized. I was able to figure out that I need to create a DSN in the ODBC control panel and save it to the Common files directory. Wih that said, I went to the ASPRunner Wizard again and it takes me to this screen where there is supposed to be a list of available DSN files but there is none. There is a choice to go to the ODBC admin screen and the file that I created shows there but I cannot select it for some reason. I was trying to copy the same DSN file (File type, not user or system) to the ASPRunner directory and several other places to no avail. I cannot go beyond this point.
    2 PHPRunner: I know this is not the PHPRunner forum but just in case anyone knows anything about it. The files are properly created, everything is done but the XAMPP server does not recognize the created PHP files. It can read other PHP files but not these ones for whatever reason. I really like the potential of this software and would not like to drop it just because of these details that may be minor.
    I have not created the LAN server until I can positively confirm that the website will work as a MySQL global front end.
    Thanks

Personally I recommend to use PHPRunner as it comes with native MySQL support. Configuring DSN is a nuisance if you didn't get it right at the first place.
If you run XAMPP select output directory under c:\xampp\htdocs\ i.e. c:\xampp\htdocs\project1

Then open in browser http://localhost/project1

Hi,
thanks for your help. I did everything exactly as told by the tutorial but Alas!, I got this 404 error. This happens when you click the link to the pages from the final page of the Wizard and when you navigate to this address from the localhost server.
What am I doing wrong??
Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

If you run XAMPP select output directory under c:\xampp\htdocs\ i.e. c:\xampp\htdocs\project1 (Output directory screen)
Then open your browser and proceed to http://localhost/project1.
If this doesn't help open a ticket at http://support.xlinesoft.com sending screenshots of 'Output directory' screen and of your browser window.
