ASP site doesnt work uploaded

[Moragreid]

Ive done an asp site - it all works perfectly on my local machine and also when
i upload it to a test area in one of my other sites ive done (hosted by
fasthosts) but when i upload it to the clients test area it doesnt work - it
displays a page saying page cannot be displayed - like the page isnt
there...but it is.
This area also has other sites on it with asp working and i cant figure out
why this isnt working. Would it have something to do with having a dns less
connection as all the others have dns?
Ive checked the connection by using the following bit of code to get the path..

<%LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%>
<%=Server.MapPath("YourDatabaseNameHere.mdb;")%>

And copying and pasting this into my connection, so its not the connection

Its really bugging me!
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Hi yea,
when you log into fasthosts go to the general information of your domain.
from there you will see near the bottom of the page "Web Site Path"

something like that.
\\IIS634\domains\t\lala.com\user

now when you have your address that will be a little different from above
your database should be inside a dir called private.

\\IIS644\domains\t\lala.com\user\private\yourdatab ase.mdb



if you cnnot gt it to work ring up there support, ok it may take a few
minutes but you will get trhough.

you have not made it clear have you made a dsn connection or a danless
connection, my experience of fasthosts it is better the dsnless


below is a copy of one of my dsn less connections.


<%
' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="false"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
Dim MM_connFabPicSite_STRING
MM_connFabPicSite_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=\\iis626\domains\s\lala.com\user\private\Fa bioDB\fabio.mdb;"
%>

Ive used a dsn less connection for this site.
Ive tested the site on fasthosts and it works fine but when i uploaded the
site to the clients webspace it doesnt work. (but other sites with asp
scripting work in that space)
Would I have to phone up and get them to activate something to get another asp
site working in that space?

have you checked the path to the database on there server, just because you
have your dsnless connection set for fasthosts doesnt mean when you upload
to a different isp that they will have the same set up. So if i were you
find out the correct path to database on your clients webspace account.

regards

i'd disable "Show descriptive error" option in IE to see the real error.
or test with NN or Firefox
