ASP / Database / DSN
One
of the great things about getting a Win2k server is the flexability
and the new options it creates. Two of the most important
are ASP and Database.
ASP
is a server side language that is very similar to Visual
Basic. It integrates well with Access/ SQL databases.
This gives you the opportunity to make your websites dynamic
and auto update.
There
are three ways to connect to a database on your domain.
1)
Control Panel and use ODBC. This sets up a SYSTEM DNS
in which allows your scripts to talk directly to your database
2) DSN LESS connection*
3) Order MYSQL and talk to a ultra fast database direct
(see services)
When
writing or configuring your asp / perl scripts you may need
to know the full physical path. This is simply e:\domains\yourdomainname.co.uk\user
to the folder where your script is.
