ASP as text - 12/15/2005 9:40:52
I am setting up a local server for the first time. The .asp pages are showing up as plain text. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

where are you storing them? are you calling them via http://localhost?

If I type in http://localhost, it says page not found. However, I can see the index page by typing in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\index.htm

You'll always see asp pages as text when using C:\whatever...
ASP pages have to be parsed by a web service and not the browser (which is what happens if you're not using http:)
You will need to address the issue where http://localhost doesn't work first.

Are you publishing your files to or editing them thru http://localhost ? Start there.
Can you open that web?

Frontpage isn't on the same machine as the web. I created the web on my desktop, but I'm trying to run it on a laptop for a presentation (that's in less that an hour!)

sounds like IIS not set up correctly - you do have xp pro on that machine, right?

If you created the web on your desktop, how did you access it there? Did you use http://localhost? If so, on the laptop, you'll have to use something like:
http://yourDesktopName
or
http://yourDesktopIPAddress
Remember you've put the web on your desktop. http://localhost goes just to the local computer which is IP address 127.0.0.1 and will *never* leave that local machine and never look on the network at all.
That any help?

The owner of the laptop just told me the drive was formatted as fat32, which might be the problem. Converting it now...
