Note that the downloadable version of CF5 has a developer's liscense available (connections from one IP address), so that you can explore the full feature-set of CF (CFExpress is feature limited, missing things like CFFile)
Of course, this may not be the issue at all. Do ASP pages work in PWS? Just paste this code into a page and name it test.asp: <%= Now() %> Note that even though PWS may be able to serve up static pages, that doesn't mean that everything is OK. What do the permissions in PWS look like? It's been a while since I ran it, but you need to make sure that permissions are set to either Script or Execute. Another possibility is running the Apache web server - supported by CF as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bear Clover" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 20, 2002 5:47 PM Subject: Trouble installing CF Express > Hello, I am new to this list.
