ASP running on PWS (WIN98) http500 error???

[tycaine]

Just as the subject implies, I'm using an old, beaten up WIN98 computer with PWS running to serve as a server, I connect through a network to it from my WINXPHome Laptop...

I create ASP pages, ship over the network to the '98, then view the pages in IE on the XP computer quite happily...

That is, until about 3 hours ago, now all I can get is a HTTP 500 Internal Error, "Page Cannot Be Displayed"

I haven't adjusted any settings at least to my knowledge, but now the server seems dead in the water? I've restarted, to no avail, I've re-installed, to no avail...

And through the PWS Manager screen where you can click on a link to see you ASP page in all it's glory, I'm getting the same error, so I'm assuming it's not the network...

Help??? I have a huge amount of work to do, and now a 'dead' server that I can't use to develop! The last thing I was trying to do was to get a connection to an access database, and didn't get any joy there...

Thanks in advance...

T.C.

Ok, further to the above...

I CAN view straight HTML pages (*.htm, *.html), but CANNOT view ASP pages (*.asp), so what gives?

Is there a setting I may have tripped that is causing the problem??

Help me please! :-(

FIXED!!

Ok, apparently at some point the permissions were messed up... So, went into PWS Manager and Advanced settings, selected the root directory and adjusted settings, and BINGO! Hello World once again...

Well, not really "Hello World", but you get the point...

Anywho, done, and thank you for listening...

Awww, c'mon, admit it, it was "Hello World"

Thanks for posting back, I'm sure you won't be the last one to have that problem, so now we can direct others to this post if it comes back up,
