Post by Kevin RaleighI am trying to work through a tutorial on asp but can't seem to get my
webpages
to display. I get the standard page not found error. So my question is do I
need
web publishing services to view the asp web page or will my computer bound
the asp page against the web publishing manager?

Hi Kevin,
If your running Windows XP PRO you can install the IIS. I'm not sure if
you can do it in Windows XP Home Edition. If your running Windows 9x,
your need to install PWS which is on the Windows CD. The folder is
called PWS.
Go to Control Panel => Add/Remove program => Add/Remove Windows
Components, set a tick in "Internet Information Server" and the ISS
will be installed.
This folder will be created : c:\inetpub\wwwroot. This is the place for
your websites. As many as you want.
Example: If you have a website called MyWebsite you should put all your
files into that forlder. ( c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyWebsite )
When you want to run/see the site simply just type
http://yourmachinename/MyWebsite/test.asp
( e.g. http://hartmann/MyWebsite/test.asp )
If your .asp file is called default.asp you only need to type
http://hartmann/MyWebsite
and then you should be able to see your work.
Hope that helps :-)
Best regards,
