Simple asp page works locally but not from server
What am I missing here? Here is what I have. A very simple asp page (default.asp) that was created using Visual Interdev.
VB Code:
```
<%@ Language=VBScript %>

 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0">
<TITLE>Test</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<%
Response.Write "<h1>"
Response.Write "ASP TEST"
Response.Write "</h1>"
%>
 
</BODY>
</HTML>
```
As you can see, basically I'm loading an include file (style.asp). This asp page loads a style sheet using this code.
VB Code:
```
<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="defaultstyle.css">
```
Right now all I have in the style sheet is an image for the background and some formatting for the <h1> tag.

After that I'm simply trying to print a couple words.

This works fine locally, but if I try to move it to the server and test it, it just returns a blank page. It appears that my include file is not being read and anything in the script tags are being ignored.

For security and performance reason some server disables the use of Include file. So check if its the case. I tried to find the settings in IIS but couldnt find it. If its your own server then search google you will probably find it.

Hope this helps.

I'm not sure that is it. I just signed up for web hosting and while that say they support asp, I'm not sure they signed me up for the right account.

If I place a response.redirect in my page somewhere it seems to be ignored. Request.Servervariables is returning nothing. Unless I'm missing something simple here, I think there is a problem on there end.

I'm assuming you'll be contacting them and asking them.

Meanwhile, try to upload a page named abc.php, and place this in there:

PHP Code:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

If it works, then there is a possibility that they've put you in PHP hosting, but doesn't exclude IIS completely because IIS can support PHP as well.

They just got back to me and they did put me on a linux server instead of a windows server. Things are better now.
