IIS Manager Question

[James A. Schulz]

I have set up a virtual directory and installed a little ASP app in it. The
app is names "Instructors". It I right click on "Instructors" in the list
in the left pane of the IIS Manager and choose "Browse" the app opens and
runs fine in the right hand pane of the IIS Manager. However, if I right
click on the "default.asp" in the list in the right pane, and choose
"Browse", the first page of the app opens in IE 6, but I cannot get any
farther than that because clicking the "Log-In" button does nothing. The
same thing is true if I start IE 6 and go to: http://localhost/Instructors.

I must be missing a setting somewhere, but I can't see what it is.

Any ideas?

All this rather depends on what your page is trying to do.

Forget about the IIS MMC... when you load your page in the browser, how does
it behave?

What should your page do? Can you provide a code snippet?

The default.asp page behaves properly. It shows the username and password
fields. A little script which forces the username to uppercase, works fine.
However, when I click the LogIn button, nothing happens. What should happen
is that the username and password should be handed off to a verification
routine which, once these items were validated would produce a new page.
But no new page appears.

I want to emphasize that the app does work properly in the right-hand pane
of IIS, so I think that means the code is all right.

Yes, the default site is "running" and so I presume my site (below the
default) is also "running".

and, yes, I am using port 80

but, no, the IP address setting reads "all unassigned". When I try to
change it, the only option is a fixed IP: 198.168.1.100 (which is the
address of my router). I cannot see any way to change this setting to "all
assigned" as you suggest.

Probably that ure rooter forward all trafic that come for 80 port to the
specific server , i realy dont know that config of ure network so its kinda
hard , but with this config its 100% sure u cannot browse ure website trough
http:\\localhost\websitename,

Is there any asp script that are running on ure server at the moment that u
could test ? cause from wath i see i think its only that the server is not
processing ure asp script, mabe the inside network trafic could go directly
to ure webserver via a DNS alias like "www" that point to the server name,
and change the website adress to the local IP adress on the network card, be
sure that this adress is a static one ,

Best we can do i think without knowing config of ure intrenal network !

good Luck !

You are going to have to show your code for the login page and the page it
is submitted to. If possible strip the code down to the bare minimum that
still exhibits the problem.

Also, remove any "on error resume next" statements. Does this result in an
error message?

 

[CJM]

As mark has suggested, you really need to post some code...

But if I was guessing:
I use a client-side validation script which is called like this:

<input type="submit" name="submit" onclick="return validate(myform,
'nextpage.asp')">

Are you doing something similar? Or is your validation routine in a
different ASP page?

If it's a javascript validation routine, are you get any javascript errors?
[check symbol in bottom left of IE for a yellow warning triangle]

In my code, if there is an error in the validation routine, it won't return
'true', therefore the onclick event wont return true - which means that the
form is not submitted.

Am I close?
