Server Application Error
The server has encountered an error while loading an application during the processing of your request. Please refer to the event log for more detail information. Please contact the server administrator for assistance.

can some body help me.
thanx

Well, your connection is fine, ASP is just telling you that there was an error executing the page you're requesting. I assume this page worked properly before? First try loading up a simple HTML (not with a .asp extension), see if that works. Then an ASP page with no ASP code in it (just HTML). See if just a plain HTML file run through the ASP compiler causes the error. If not, then there's a probability that your code has some error or corruption in it.

thanx...............i think it work like u said.............
but some how i'm a bit puzzle to why my all my file in a particular folder in wwwroot cant work like usual already as i didn't change a thing to it.before this it works like normal.Can u pls explain a bit to me.
thanx
when i run the page................it dun come out any errors but instead..........
it run the page till it wont stop.......................it come out run time error

I've got a few more questions for you...

Are all of the ASP pages causing problems? Do any of these connect to a DB? If so, is that DB still available? Does the DB require a DSN to be setup on the computer?
