Totaly beginner need tips...

Good afternoon for all.

My name is Danilo and I'm a VB/SQL developer, so I need to develop a ASP site on my job and I don't Know how I do it.

First I'm using Win2K professional and Macromedia DreamWhever Ultradev. I have the IIS installed on my computer, and have a lot of books of ASP and HTML.
But I create a simple page HTML without scripts, and when I go preview on browser the url

says "

http://localhost/TMPa8fn1ubdkl.htm"

and body says "The page cannot be show/opened"

and when I'm in IE 6 and go open a local ASP page he simple don't work, no open and no send error.

What have I to do for correct it ???

And so When I run a HTML page that calls an ASP page like :

<form Action=&quot;XXX.asp&quot;>

my IE 6 opens the download screen, for I make download of this XXX.asp page.

What is wrong ???

Very Thanks ....

Danilo

Create a folder within your

http://wwwroot

folder. Right click and set the web sharing properties to &quot;shared as&quot; and the name of your folder. As long as you have IIS running this should be enough on the IIS side of things. Now your pages will reside in &quot;localhost/foldername/file.asp&quot;.

Make sure that if you are previewing the pages through Ultradev (which your temporary filename suggests!) you have defined your site from the site window. Go to the &quot;application server&quot; section of the site definition dialogue box and ensure that you have chosen &quot;asp&quot; as the server model, choose your folder in the

http://wwwroot

directory as the remote folder and the &quot;URL prefix&quot; should then say &quot;localhost/foldername/&quot; (I have left off the http bit because it is read as code by the forum here).

Now, when you preview it will go through IIS and process the asp and html properly.

Loads of other things may also be happening, but this is a good place to start. The download dialogue box which you keep getting is a sure sign that IIS is not processing your asp. Derren
