I don't know where this topic should go - so if Admin or Mod's can help me with this (possibly by moving it but letting me know where to?) then it's much appreciated, and I'm sorry for the inconvenience!!
OK, the problem...
I'm *trying desperately* to build a site using .asp / page connected to a database yah-de-yah-da...
However, using Dreamweaver, I can't seem to test the page - F12 previewing shows a "page cannot be found" error, even though its pointing to the correct file/location...
Now I think it's something to do with a lack of IIS on my pc? I have XP, and it's fully up-to-date as far as i know, but I can't find the c:/Irbnet (or something like that) file which indicates that IIS is installed?
I've tried start>control panel>add remove programs>add remove windows stuff but IIS isn't listed on there (Dreamweaver help says it should be?), and I've tried looking around the Microsoft web site, but I can't find a download for IIS off there (just for toolkits and managers for it :( )
Does anyone have any idea:
1) Why I can't preview/test my pages
2) Where I can get a download of IIS from (for free preferably?)
Does anyone have any further advice regarding this?
Thanks for the help, and again I apologise for inconvienence if this is in the wrong Forum / location (admin/mods please don't ban me, I really like this board and aren't deliberately breaking rules! :( ) :confused:
