ERROR PREVIEWING IN IE5

[redwatty]

I have set up my web-site on my local machine and specified my local folder and remote folder, I am running Personal Web Manager and IIS. I have specified my default.asp and also denied anonymous logon. Every time I try to preview the page in IE5 I get the following error message. Microsoft relate this to anonymous logon but I have denied this.

Can anybody help.

Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
/intranet/TMPghn64ji7tv.asp, line 32


Browser Type:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)

Page:
GET /intranet/TMPghn64ji7tv.asp

Please can somebody help, with what I may be doing wrong.

DSN not found have you added this to your remote folder or do you not have access to this?

You need to get the DSN set up on your live server or use a DSN'less connection. Quite a good tutorial has been done by a mate of mine at :

Hope this helps.

Thanks Cheech,

I don't think I have added DSN to IIS. Where would I find documentation on how to do this, or would it be contained in the help files?

If you have a quick way for me to check this I would really appreciate it.

Thanks Cheech,

I've sorted that problem. I don't know if you can help me with a subsequent problem. I have managed to get my Intranet to preview on my local machine. However there appears to be a problem with the dynamic data on the template page.

The site is designed using a template which has dynamic text with latest news and sales figure. However, when I preview the anypage I always get a message saying

HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error
Internet Information Services

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8)
Object required: ''
/TMP1mn8akoa9p.asp, line 483

When I look at that line of code it refers to the dynamic text in the template page. If I remove the dynamic text and update all pages then the pages preview fine and all the other ASP aspects work.

It is a strange and frustrating situation.
