I need some help!!! I can't get the forums to install in the production ienvironment.  I need a clue.

After following all the install notes (creating the empty sql database etc.) I cant get the mssql_server_setup.asp file to run.

When I pull up the browser, I get a 'page cannot be found' error.  If I try to load the default.asp page, I get 'Object disabled'. 

I have some experience setting up websites, but have not used *.asp pages before.

I just need someone to give me a clue as to what the heck I did wrong.

Thanks
J

p.s.: I have complete access to the web server (Win2K+IIS 5.0+ SQL 2000)

1. Make sure IIS is started.
2. Make sure your instance of MSSQL is started.
3. Your url string should look something like...

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Thanks for the quick response to my qustion, but unfortunately the script still will not run. 

Maybe a more in depth description  of the server setup will help:

The web server is remotely located in a server farm. I use Terminal services to access the machine.  The server uses host headers to run multiple web sites from one IP address. 

I'm thinking that because I am running mutiple web sites on this machine I can't use the normal localhost, machine name, etc. options to run the file.

I'm going to try running the file locally at the server to see if it will run. Another idea is to transfer the files from my testing environment (which runs perfectly) to the production server.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again for your help!!!!!

The problem is the probably terminal services access - local host is looking for the stuff on your local client - it resolves before the terminal services come into play so it's looking for the page on your local client - not the remote server.
 
the only two things I can think of off hand are to either try it by ip address - http://111.222.333.444/myvirtualdirectory or to change the hosts file on your local client to point to the actual ipaddress where the site is located instead of 127.0.0.1.
