Best Method to Post pix from DB to page?

M

Matthew

Dear Mike Meuller (or anyone with help to offer, of
course),

So far, this seems awfully involved for such a simple
concept. If there is a better (i.e. easier) way, do
tell, please!

In accordance with your instruction, I have visited the
KB and read the article you referenced. In an attempt to
undertake the Troubleshooting method described therein, I
followed a link to another (very involved) KB article,
and subsequently encountered a problem I hope you can
help me resolve (or work around with a better approach).

Troubleshooting:

To verify a successful ASP installation, you can run the
following sample ASP code:

<%
Response.Write "Hello World!"
%>

To do this, follow these steps:

Start FrontPage. Open the Web site by using the HTTP
address to connect to it.
* * * *

I assumed this meant to type the http address for MyWeb
into the Open File dialogue box in the Open window. When
I did (using http://MyServer:MyPort), I received the
following error:

Documents in this folder are not available. The folder
may have been moved or deleted, or network problems may
be preventing a connection to the server.

Well, the web is in the MyWeb folder in My Documents, and
I can open it by browsing. The folder has been neither
moved nor deleted, and there are no network problems
preventing any other connections to MyServer.

Obviously, the KB article wanted me to perform this
particular method for a good reason, though it did not go
on to address the conclusion I reached.

Can you help me now?

Sincerely yours,

Matthew

This will simplify verifying ASP functionality given the presence
of a default installation of IIS...

1.01) Open Notepad and enter the following text...

<% Response.Write "Hello World!" %>

1.02) Save the file as helloworld.asp to the following path...

c:\inetpub\wwwroot\helloworld.asp

1.03) Close Notepad.

2.00) Launch Internet Explorer and enter this URL...

http://localhost/helloworld.asp

If Hello World! is displayed in the browser ASP has been
configured correctly.

Hell yeah; that was slicker than slug spooder! You
helped me resolve an issue that has been plaguing me for
months! I discovered a formerly installed disk-based web
preventing the proper installation of my FPSE. Now, I am
free to move about MyWeb.

Thanks again.

Love and lost packets,

Matthew
