fso problem

[Bignewbie]

what is wrong with this script:

<%

directoryname=&quot;C:\home\sites\site4\priv\&quot;
Set fso = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
set mainfolder=fso.GetFolder(directoryname)
Set filecollection = mainfolder.Files
For Each file In filecollection
Response.Write file.Name & &quot;<br>&quot;
Next


%>


everytime I run this, it crashes my IIS. My IIS is on port 8080. Does this matter? Please help me!

If you're running antivirus like Norton then disable Script Blocking within its options - this feature sees FSO as virus like and will block it.

If that isn't the issue, then define crashes:
IIS freezes up - dllhost is at 99% indefinately and you can't stop IIS
IIS has magically stopped by itself
The web page shopws an error message
etc

GaryC is right, norton made my IIS not to respond. Does Norton's script blocking really blocks scripts done on the client's computer or does it just protect the server?

ASP is server-side not client-side. What was happening is that the Norton on your sertver was blocking the FSO object's attempts to access the server's file system. Apparently there isn't a timeout in the file system object to handle not being able to access the file system so it just hangs indefinately. IIS hangs because the FSO object is an external object (you can force this to occur with the regular expression object also).

Hi,

I'm new to ASP. I'm working on the File System Object. My code reads-

<%
dim myFso

set myFso = server.createobject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot

if isobject(myFso) then

for each cdrive in myFso.Drives

response.write cdrive.driveletter

next

end if


%>

I've already disabled NAV script blocking. All I get is a blank page.
