alienA2 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hi I am a total newbie on ASP, so please bare with me... I have downloaded this tutorial on creating a contact form and it includes an asp file with 3 html files (thankyou, error, and contact.html) I tried to use the files but I did not get any response on my mails. Can you please tell me where I am going wrong? For example this is what I have done:I typed the text into the name, email and message inputs. When I click submit, it shows me the actual ASP code. See attachment...Thank you. asp-contact-us.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 If you're seeing the code then the server is not executing it. Make sure you are running this on an actual web server that supports ASP, just double-clicking on a file isn't enough. The URL needs to start with HTTP.

I am running the webpage and the asp script on my laptop...not on a server. Windows 7 Home Basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 That would be the problem then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienA2 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 What is the best solution to get this. Upgrade to Home Premium? Or is there a freeware software that helps me test asp files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I believe the Mono project is for running ASP code on Apache, but the vast majority of ASP sites run on the Microsoft IIS server. This describes how to install IIS: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731911.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justsomeguy Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 No, Visual Studio Express is not a web server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
