VDF 2009

Hi.
I just started playing with Electos.

I created a new website using the system manager.
I created a new page in the studio.

When I click in the "Website preview", I get the message "The page cannot be displayed"

Do I have to do something else before?

Is the problem related to the Electos design?
Do I have to apply a Electos design first?
:confused:If I do, how do I do that?

Thanks,
Jose.

Jose,

Did you activate the page? In the Electos Studio click on the page, click on Activate in the menu on the right and look if it is activated or not. The options are activated, deactivated and scheduled.

Thank you Vincent.

The page is activated.
I installed the VDF 2009 studio in another machine and I tried the same thing but I am getting the same message.

The sample website "MyWebsite" works fine.

Do I have to setup something else before?

I have a difference with the sample one in the Control Panel/ASP Templates.
The sample one has: gallery.asp, news.asp, normal.asp and webshop.asp
and the new that I created has nothing.

Is this the problem?
How can I set them up.

Thanks,
Jose.




Thanks,
Jose.

Jose,

So you created a new blank website without any templates you say?

Hi Jose,

Unfortunatly whenever I try it seems to work fine for me, so I'm not sure yet what could be the problem.



Could you disable show friendly error message, and if that doesn't produce any usefull error message and you're on vista or similiar please also enable send error messages to browser in IIS.


Some general tips that may help:

Check the paths are correct in IIS
Check the user rights set on the apphtml folder include IUSR


Hopefully you'll be ble to produce some kind of error message which can help us along figure out what's wrong exactly.

Vincent,
Yes, I created a new blank website without any templates.
When I go to IIS and I click in Browse in the floting menu of this new website, I get this message:
"No ASP template found. Please select one using the Electos Studio."


Edwin,
The paths are correct in IIS.
The user rights set on the apphtml folder is including IUSR.

Jose,

Ok, that is it. You need to create ASP templates and make the website aware of that. Lookup in the help: Linking an ASP Template to a Page.

If you do not have much in your website you might want to choose to remove the site, create a new one based on mywebsite, remove data that you do not want. replace a design.
