Don't understand

macwilliam,
Depending on folder name where you uploaded files you need to point your browser to http://www.yourservername.com/folder_name.
I hope this helps.

So, only the folder name.....that's all? so say my address is www.xxxxxx.com/whatever/ Whatever=the folder I've got for all the generated asp files, right? then what should I expect to see?

macwilliam,
what do you see when you go to this URL now?
You can post this URL here.

This is my address:
http://www.macwilliamchau.co.uk/
So, After I have uploaded everything there through FTP, then what do I do?
thank you for being so helpful!!

What is the folder name where you uploaded files?
Is it inside WWWROOT folder?

It's in a folder called /web!!

Hi,
I'm afraid your Web server is not ASP enabled. First of all it don't open default.asp automatically when I go to http://www.macwilliamchau.co.uk. When I go directly to http://www.macwilliamchau.co.uk/default.asp it redirects me to login.asp however it asks me if I like to download it instead of processing it on the server side.
To make sure if it's ASP enabled or not tell me your Web hosting provider name and your Web hosting plan.

I see, ok, I will make sure my hosting service enable ASP first, then I come back!! Coz I know they do, but I need to upgrade my hosting plan first!
So, after I enable it, it should work then right? Or do I have to alter anything else?

I got it ready!! My host company has enabled the ASP support just now!! So what is the next step?
thank you!!

Oh Oh, it said the following in my hosting company FQA:
What ASP components can I use on my webspace?
The ASP software on our servers supports all standard ASP components and many more.
However, those who are used to running ASP on a Windows server may find differences with some of the non-standard modules such as 'upload'. For a copy of the full ChiliASP 3.6.2 documentation, please click on the link below:

Why can't I get my global.asa file to work?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to support separate global.asa files for each site when using ChiliASP with Zeus subservers. Please insert your server objects into an include file instead.

Does ChiliASP provide support for XML objects?
Unfortunately, the current release does not provide any support for XML. However, XML support is promised with the next version, which was originally due in late 2002, so should be released very soon.

Why doesn't my CDONTS mail command work?
The CDONTS implementation provided by ChiliASP provides support for the Bcc, Body, BodyFormat, Cc, From, Host, Importance, Retain, Subject, To, Value, and WrapLength properties. Please ensure you are not attempting to reference any of the additional properties supported by the Microsoft mail object.
Another common mistake is to set the 'from' address of the email to a value in a form. This will only result in a successful delivery if the email address entered is valid. So it is better to hard-code the 'from' address of any emails generated from a form.
For additional information, please refer to the ChiliASP documentation.

What is the root path to my ASP application?
There is one ASP application for each virtual server, which has a root path of the format /content/virtualServerName.
For example, a hosting account with the StartupHost+ package for the domain mydomain.com would have the document root /content/StartupHostPlus/m/y/mydomain.com/web'>mydomain.com/web and the ASP application root /content/StartupHostPlus. Therefore, the path to the web folder relative to the ASP application would be /m/y/mydomain.com/web'>mydomain.com/web.

How can I see all of the server variables for my ASP application?
Try the following script to see all of your server variables in a neat table:
<table width="85%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

<% For Each VariableName In Request.ServerVariables %>

<tr valign="top">

<td><%=VariableName%></td>

<td><%=Request.ServerVariables(VariableName)%></td>

</tr>

<% Next %>

</table>

</body>
I hope it's useful for you to advice me...!!
Thank you very much!

Hi,
First of all you have to enable anonymous access (or ask your hosting company support to do this for you). When I go to your Web site http://www.macwilliamchau.co.uk/ I'm getting Access denied message.
Second, you need to understand that you cannot connect to MS Access or Excel database using ChiliSoft ASP on a Linux box. Please read the following guide (page 7) http://wwws.sun.com/software/chilisoft/sca..._xplatform2.pdf

Here is what this guide says:

However, it is important to remember that Microsoft Access is not available for any version of UNIX or Linux, leaving dBase as the only real choice for file-based databases on both Windows NT/2000 and UNIX. (Access databases can be "accessed" from Sun Chili!Soft ASP running on UNIX, but the Access database itself must reside on a Windows system).

Hi,
So, I need to convert my access database to DBase format and enable anonymous access to my site before I can achieve anything, right?
thank you

macwilliam,
you have two options here:

1. Convert your database to dbase or MySQL and continue with existing web hosting.
   
2. Switch to Windows-based Web hosting and forget about all problems.

Ok! I think I prefer option 2, Em..... Do you know any cheap hosting company which will work?
thank you
macwilliam

I can suggest to check www.maximumasp.com and discountasp.net.
Also I can recommend to check webhostingtalk.com to find opinions about all popular Windows hosting companies.

Hi,
Cool! your recommendation are good and quite cheap as well!! I will sort my new hosting out very soon!!
The reason why I am so interested in ASPRunner is because I am developing access database for a few local companies, I am sure they want to have web access, so I really want to test it properly before I can propose to them about purchasing ASPRunner.
You know when configurating master table and child table...... I don't know how to set them right....
I have my sample database here http://www.csc.liv.ac.uk/~u9hkbmc/project.mdb (user name and password are administrators) Would you teach me a few tricks on configurating tables? (since this sample access database has many relationship)
thank you!!

I would recommend you to watch ASPRunnerPro Flash demo that explains how to create master-detail relationships and much more.
