Going Live ASP not working

[Mosha]

Hello All

Ok, heres my problem

I've just finsihed my 1st ASP site, using IIS and my PC acting as a local testing server, it works a treat!

But now i want to upload it to the uni servers and make it live for user testing, but it doesn't work!

What do i have to change to make it work on these servers, is the database connection i've being using for local testing different?
Do i need other software?

All feedback is greatly apprieciated

Thanks

Is your live server a UNIX server? If so, you won't be able to use IIS unless they have ChiliSoft or SunOne.

Its just a server really, its the university ones, i'm assuming they have everything i need,

But i'm sure i've heard somewhere that the database connection needs chaging when you go live?

Is this true?

Sounds to me like you're over your head on this one and need to read up more on what ASP is.

A server by itself must have an operating system. If it's Windows, you can use ASP. Is the database on the server? Do you know how to connect to the database on the server? What database are they using? Did you port your data over to the server?

Lots of questions to ask before you're ready to "go live"

Thanks Tsbakers

I did read up, and was doing when i posted this thread, i just thought that i might get some feedback off people that had already done this sort of thing!

I've solved the issue now, and my site is successfully 'live'.

Cheers
