problems with ASP on IIS Windows 2003 Server

[stevieg_83]

I'm developing my first ASP application for a client of mine. Nothing major, just a simple employee lookup application.

I have developed the application using an Access database. Now my application was tested on my own development console (XP Pro with SP2) and works perfectly.

However, when I uploaded these pages to my clients server, the first page displays as it should but if I try to navigate to other dynamic pages then I get the following error:

Provider error '80004005'

Unspecified error

/intranet/employeelookup/employee_results.asp, line 15

As I said, locally it works without a problem but is suspect on clients server which makes me think it may be an IIS permissions issue.

Can anyone shed some light?

Thanks in advance.

Stevie

hello stevieg_83,

Even though ASP.NET 1.1 ships with Windows Server 2003, which also includes the latest version of Internet Information Server (IIS) version 6.0, ASP.NET 1.1 is not enabled by default.

While I do not know if this is causing the ASP application deployment errors, you may wish to review the following MS tutorial page:

http://www.asp.net/faq/AspNetAndIIS6.aspx

I hope this helps.

Hi,
as far as this goes "guest" is on the right track.

but that is a standard asp error not asp.net

IIS on 2003 does not natively allow asp, asp.net.
to do this you will need to open up IIS MMC and select allow active server pages.

if this does not dolve the problem what is line 15?
