Server Problem with ASP - 1/21/2003 20:31:43
I' m running a personal server under Windows ' 98. It appears as if ASP code is not being processed. When I try to embed a StoreFront link in a page (ex, a dynamic product page), the <%= Session(" DomainPath" ) %> ASP coding is not recognized by the browser. The closing " %>" closes the <a> tag, and the remainder of the link address is added to the text display for the link. Trying to run the page in Internet Explorer generates a " missing file" page.
If I remove the <%= Session(" DomainPath" ) %> code, I get a correct text
display and a correct link to an existing storefront asp file (since HTML
automatically fills in the domain path). However, when I try clicking on the
link, I get a temporary " file downloading" message and the storefront
dynamic products page (also in ASP) never displays.
Any ideas on what I' m doing wrong?

You have to access the page using a localhost url, not by file location. Something like http://localhost/mypage.asp
The page must have an .asp extension
You need a asp-enabled web server. If you' re using the Frontpage PWS from FP97/98, asp is not included without a bunch of extra work. You can install PWS 4.0 from your Windows 98 CD if this is the case.

Doug,
Thank you for your help. When I originally tried to run the asp page by referencing it as " http://localhost/..." I received an error message box that it could not be accessed offline. So I switched over to referring to the page as a local file. After your advice confirmed that the page should be called using the " http://localhost/" format, the next time I got the " offline" error message, I clicked on the " retry" button, and the page ran correctly.
I also found out that if I was already on-line and referred to the localhost, the page ran correctly the first time.
I really appreciate your help. I spent a week spinning my wheels trying to find out what I was doing wrong.
Dan

Yep, if you' re not connected to the internet, IE won' t connect to localhost the first time. You' ll get an error message, just retry and the retry will initialize the TCP/IP stack locally and you' re off to the races!
