Not sure if this is the right channel for this, but I'm sure it can be changed if not...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been trying to setup an IIS local testing server (phantom test server) on my machine for testing ASP scripts, doing database web-work, etc. (FYI, I use Dreamweaver MX, and the databases are small so I use MS-Access, through a ASP-VBScript connection.)
I've never used IIS for doing this, so I haven't a clue on how to go about it and I'm running into problems (specifically 500 errors when i try to view ASP pages). The setup is confusing, and there's a lot of doco but it's just too much for my time. All I want is to be able to setup a local testing website to run ASP scripts to connect to a database and do stuff (passwords, searches, etc) before I publish to my site.
Anyone done this before? I could use a good step-by-step (for XP-Pro).
