aspdb and PWS on win98

[John Niumata]

after I installed aspdb on my system to trial it my other asp scripts do not work, please help asap.

I am running win 98 with personal web server installed.
I had registered the aspdbpro-eval.dll using dos
I have also un-registered it using /U switch
I have tried uninstalling personal web server
then re-installing personal web server.
none of my scripts work, even very basic ones that get the time from personal web server. these have nothing to do with databases so I am led to believe that my scripts are not working at all. the only thing I notice is that asp scripts are still showing html, so asp is handling the request and returning html ok.

thanks

Hi John,

If your ASP scripts are "showing html", then they're not being interpreted
correctly. If you uninstalled the dll (/U) then when you try and run one
of our test pages (i.e. asp-test-pro.asp) you'll get a "Server Create Object
Failed" message. That means that it's totally uninstalled and your problem
is not related to ASP-db.

We don't update any "system" dlls or anything in our installation. We simply
create a directory and put all of our HTM and ASP files in it along with the
component. It has never "broken" ASP on any computer on any of the thousands
of systems it's been installed on. The fault lies elseware.

Are you accessing the files with "http://..." ? That's the only way that
the ASP.DLL engine ever gets called. Make sure that file is still on your
system and didn't get deleted or corrupted or something. You could also
try to upgrade to MDAC/ADO 2.1 and see if that repairs your missing file.
We've got the link on our "Support / System Support" link on our main page.

Thanks,
John
