I know I am probably missing something really simple, but I've been beating myself up looking and thought I'd ask for help...

I just downloaded the 3.3 and extracted it (WinZip no TAR conversion of CR/LF) to my workstation, FTP'd it to my server (on my LAN, NT 4.0SP5/IIS4.0) multiple times, using WS_FTP LE, set to auto or ASCII, modified the config.asp in Notepad for the database, and no matter what I do I get...

Microsoft JScript compilation error '800a03f7'

Unterminated string constant

/forumtest/config.asp, line 2

'#################################################################################
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------^


Am I missing a setting somewhere along the line on the server? I thought I caught everything, Access db is in cgi-bin, etc., but maybe another set of eyes can help me find the missing puzzle piece. This is happening on all of the .asp files, ie.:admin.asp, forum.asp, config.asp, etc.

THANKS!
Dave

I'll take a wild guess that your web server has Javascript set to be the default scripting language. You change this in the property pages for the web application. Open the IIS MMC, navigate to the web and open the property pages for the web application. You'll find the default scripting language setting in there somewhere.

Please post an update here if this is the problem. Thanks.

Unrelated, you should probably consider updating your server to sp6a.

What should the correct scripting language setting be in the application settings? It is currently Javascript.

Thanks!

I don't know if there is a "correct" language, but the default scripting language for server-side asp code is VBScript, and for client-side code is javascript. If your server-side code is set to javascript and you change it to VBScript, you may break other pages on your site. The alternative is to add a asp line <%@Language="VBScript"%> as the first line of all asp pages that should use VBScript.

Thanks, Doug! It was the scripting language on the servers... I now have it running OK at work and at home. Now I just need to configure it up!

Thanks again!
Dave
