Asp

ASP Coding.

I want to create a file in the client using file system object. It works
when i tried it using Personal web server. But when i used it with
www.brinkster.com , some error occurs. It says internal server
error. Tried many times but cant find a solution. What could be the problem.
Please help me out guys.

Check and find out if Brinkster supports the use of .ASP files. It's possible that they don't, and if so, that could be causing your error. I know that not all hosting companies will support .ASP files.

I've got it working once using the example code provided by the brinkster site. It's located here: http://www.brinkster.com/CodeBank/ShowSnippet.aspx?n580

The code isn't that long so I might as well include it in the post:

Code:

---

<%
If session("hitcount") = "" Then '
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8 '
Dim hitcount, fso, f, filen '
filen = Server.MapPath("/accountname/db/hitcount.txt") '
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") '
Set f = fso.OpenTextFile(filen, ForReading) '
If f.AtEndOfStream Then '
hitcount = "0" '
Else
hitcount = f.readall '
End if '
f.close '
'
If hitcount = "0" Then '

---

BTW, the example is a hit counter.

Maverick brinkster supports ASP. But i cant get this thing to work. going crazy. As i said
it works fine when i tried it with PWS. Hope someone will help me out.

"I want to create a file in the client " you say. But that is impossible.
The reason you got it to work on your PWS is just that your client
is also your server.
