asp

[bolsterboy]

Okay, i know some of you would proberly be fed up with my many (and i mean many) failed attempts at cgi (i know i am). So i decided to try asp.

it doesn't work :(
( http://bolsterboy.100megswebhosting.com )

could anyone help? it comes up METHOD NOT ALLOWED

thanks

P.s. I tried another thing: http://bolsterboy.100megswebhosting.com/register.html but when it runs the script it is just a blank screen

As a general rule, *NIX servers don't support ASP, as it's mainly a WindowsNT thing. There is a *NIX version of ASP, but I don't believe 100megswebhosting.com has it installed... Maybe you'd be better with PHP? Although I personally have found perl to be much "simpler" than PHP... :)

oh right :) That helps a lot, thanks :) I tried PHP but, yes, i did get errors (GRR...).

What errors did you get with PHP. I can help you out.

i have connection errors:

http://bolsterboy.100megswebhosting.com/guestbook

all the files are there, permissions set

username= test
password = 123

Ok, you need to first create the database in CPanel.

The host is: localhost
The username is: 'your username' - that you created
The password is: 'your password' - that you created

You must assign a user for the database after you create both in Cpanel.

If you have all that done, please let me know. Also, delete the database and re-create it if you can. Sometimes it could be corrupted.
