Thread: Personal Web Server

    Personal Web Server

    Morning guys!
    I'm studying ASP, in the book I'm using I have to use PWS to test my server scripts.

    The problem is:
    I can't seem to get the thing to work properly.
    The books says that to test the script in IE I have to type this: http://localhost/data_files_chap1/Register.htm
    now when I do it, IE says that it can't find the host.

    Am I doing something wrongż

    Thanx
    Hannes

    hannesthegreat,
    check you have got pws running and that scripts are allowed.
    also make sure a local firewall such as zone alarm is not blocking it....

    It was indeed the firewall, I actually feel quite silly but, at least now I know
    Thanx once again!
