hmm PG.com is diversifyng from MBA to help on ASP.

Misha, I cant help you on this cause giving http://localhost will not show me your machine... could you please provide more details, like what exactly is happening/not happening.

a screen shot of your error would also be helpful in sloving the issue.

i have written a simple ASP-VBscript page...with just <%response.write("hello")%> in the body part of the HTML, have included all the proper headers......dreamweaver takes care of that part.....still m not able to run it........and error......."page cannot be displayed"...

Check your hosts file. You should have an entry like :

127.0.0.1 localhost

If it's not there, add it.

Alternatively, try http://127.0.0.1/xx.asp on your browser, where xx is the
name of the file.

PS: I am assuming all your ASP environments are set right.

hmm , i am gonna try and go over all the problems tht might be behind the page not getting displayed :

1. Is PWS installed correctly , chk by putting a index.html file in c:\inetpub\wwwroot directory (assuming PWS is installed in c and then type http://127.0.0.1 in ur browser

2. have u saved the file in right directory i.e. in c:\inetpub\wwwroot

3. Try and writing a small program in notepad first , dreamweaver can be using ASP features not supported by PWS (a hello world will do)

4. just check if PWS service is started or stopped

When i started ASP , it was usually a stupid sounding mistake whcih caused the ASP file not to run :P

answers:

1) ya PWS is installed correctly and i've already made a html page and tested.
2) yup the file is in the same directory.
3)hmmm.......i'll have to try notepad......
4)yup PWS service is ON

i have already done a complete professional project in ASP, but that was on IIS.....now i want to brush up my fundas so trying to do something at home.......and i know it'll come out to be a very very silly mistake.
