newbie needs help

I have just purchased a falsh program that updates weather data ivery
2 seconds and shows temp, wind direction/speed etc with gauges. I
have set it up on my local server on XP Pro, iis v.5, Everything
works the way it is supposed to until I select to lock the program
which should save the configuration in one of the files. However,
nothing gets saved. The software compant says that the server must be
able to run either asp or php which I am sure this installs by
default. I have come to think that my problem may be a security issue
not allowing me to write to the site.

Am I missing something? is script writing turned off by default and
need to be turned on?

Thanks

Bruce

Script writing is usually not enabled by default if the write
it is an area within the web content storage. In all cases the
filesystem must have permission grant allowing write to the
account that attempts.
Also, since some things do work, your web is likely already
configured as an application, which is needed for ASP to do
its thing.

Re: newbie needs help

Thanks for the response. Finally after probably 4 hours of trying to
find the problem, I noticed that the scripts folder by default in in
inetput/scripts directory and mine was in inetput/www.root.scripts.

I guess that fits right in there with after hour of troubleshooting a
sound problem you notice that the sound is muted....:-(
