Hi all,

My site runs perfectly on the MS IIS server installed on my PC, but when I load it onto my hosting server and try to run it any pages that use forms to gather information to pass to a database will not work.

The site was built in Dreamweaver MX 2004, uses ASP VBScript, and runs with no issues on my own PC on MS IIS server with Windows XP Pro as the OS.

It is hosted on a shared MS IIS server, with ASP and SSI enabled.

The forms that won't work collect simple username / password related data and pass it to/from a database. It uses a Dreamweaver server behaviour that posts the form data to the database when the "submit" button on the form page is pressed.

Dreamweaver inserts the code <%MM_editAction%> in the form action field. As far as I can make out this code calls the page that it is placed in and executes script that Dreamweaver places at the top of the page. In my case, the <%MM_editAction%> code doesn't seem to execute and I get a message that says "Bad Request (Invalid URL)" back when I press the "submit" button. (One of the pages in question is www.usingoptions.com/support/register.asp in case anybody wants to try it for themselves).

The strange thing is that it works perfectly when I run the site on my PC.

Any ideas on what the problem might be ? I am stumped, and my hosting company seem to be as well.

Thanks in advance for any help,
DQ.

Hi again,

The URL I included in my previous post is incorrect. It should be www.usingoptions.com/support/registration.asp

Thanks
DQ

Point on double posting noted - I wasn't sure where to place the query so I went for the safety approach.

My host solved my forms problem this morning. It appears that on my host server admin page the Server Side Includes were set up to read ASP pages as SSI's, which caused some confusion for the server. Anyhow, they reset the whole thing and the forms are working now.

Regds,
DQ.

strange.

anyway, glad you got it sorted.

Dave
