Testing Server

[This bites]

I have been trying to set up a web site in Dreamweaver to run dynamic scripting
(ASP pages) and when trying to set up a testing server I follow the promps and
have even followed the help guidelines and it just doesn't seem to set the
testing server up. I am running Windows XP, my database drivers are fine and I
try to set the root folder for my testing server in the "my Web" folder. I
have no idea what I am doing wrong.

Which XP? Home? No can do unless you install something like Apache.

Apache's fine, but a quickie's instaling IIS (Internet Information Services)
from ur Windows CD. -over which however keep this in mind Apache have some
advantages- its a seperate category in windows components install section so
easy to find. Then as u'll be guided ur machine gets a server along with
continueing to act as client.

In the wwwroot directory IIS creates (perhaps under C:\inetpub) u create ur
directory and access it via http:
e.g. c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myfolder which contains say index.php or index.asp
whatsoever is retrieved dynamically via [url]http://localhost/myfolder/index.php[/url] u
type in ur browser's addressbar

more quick is defining a virtual directory so u can keep ur files wherever u
like on ur machine (say ur working files are at d:\works\web\great web site).
Then you may go to IIS Panel in Control Panel("Performance and
Maintenance">"Administrative tools">"Internet Information Services") and right
clicking Default Web Site ("Internet Information Services">.. (local
computer)>Web Sites) or from Action menu while it's selected u can click
New...>Virtual Directory... to create a virtual directory. follow the wizard
and remember you access your site by its Alias later through ur browser. so:

1-ur files are at: d:\works\web\great web site (I however especially when
workin with dbs suggest to have short not space-seperated directory names for
your folders: "...\great_web" for "...\great web site")

2-u made a virtual directory pointing at aforementioned directory with Alias
say great-ws

3-and eventually u access it with [url]http://localhost/great-ws[/url]
(Note: as long as index.htm is specified as default, if u have one u wont need
to type it down when addressing. List of deafult file names is available to
change at Properties of the Default Web Site under "Action" menu and any other
folders listed under.)

Please help me discover what I am doing wrong here. Before I don't know how I
created a page to view database content. Now I go down the list on setting up
a database connection like #1) Create a Site, #2) choose a document type, and
#3) setup a testing server. This step #3 of setting up a testing server will
not give me a check mark! I would like to test locally on my XP Pro box. I
specify the directory and add a virtual directory in IIS; but, no check mark.
What do I still need to do?

Thanks!

I am designing a web application (new to this Tech) I had my local testing
server works with file with a html Ext and a asp ext. However when I added a
recordset and Database for the login I can no longer get the page to work.

Here is the error code i am getting:

Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine
cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another
user, or you need permission to view its data.
/Ruff Ryders 2005/tempT19/index.asp, line 90


Browser Type:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322;
..NET CLR 1.0.3705)

Page:
GET /Ruff Ryders 2005/tempT19/index.asp

Can anyone help?:confused;

That's the error you ususally get when you have the access database open in
access at the same time that you are trying to access it from the web page
(opening the database in Access creates an exclusive lock, preventing other
applications from accessing the database).

Cheers,

Tim.

Try making a folder for the database outside of your Dreamweaver Site.
Dreamweaver doesn't like the database to be in here.

I have created a folder outside of my dreamweaver and Now I am getting this
error code:
The page cannot be displayed
There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be
displayed.

Please try the following:

Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Open the localhost home page, and then look for links to the information you
want.
