Internal Server Error

[thomas88]

I have made a web website hosting in ASP using a DSN connection to my Microsoft Access database, i created the website hosting on Dreamweaver, it works perfectly. I have put record sets into my web pages and when i try to open the web page on the internet it says Internal Server Error. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how to solve it?

This could be anything - check your database connection string, and permissions of files that need writing to. If the website hosting works fine on your local machine then it is likely to be a database connection problem as the string may need to be modified. Another reason might be that the microsoft server doesn't allow relative directory calling (i.e. ../../directory) - you often have to provide the full directory path with ASP.

Hi Thomas,

Your issue was fixed. It was due to 'Parent Paths' being not enabled for your domain.
