I keep getting this error, I use go daddy for my web host and I am on a Linux Server. The Support says I can use asp. Plus I have created a webpage and a shopping cart for a friend that uses asp and it works great.

My Config file shows. This is the one that is in my /forum/ on the server. I have check this 20 times I cannot see anything wrong.

| You didn't tell us what the error was. I must say, however, that I find it hard that Godaddy suppors ASP on a Linux server. They have Windows servers for that purpose... |

If you're seeing that error message like that then your host does not support ASP.

I'm not so sure, webtech says he's running other ASP applications
Perhaps it's an ODBC thing, or some other weird thing...I don't think he'd get the error message he's getting if the box didn't understand ASP at all.
However - it may be Sun One or something even less compliant. Webtech, what is the server running in order for you to use ASP? Linux does NOT run ASP natively, so you may find this a bit of a struggle... |

What's he's seeing is the error message as it appears in setup.asp; note the &_s and quotations.

We don't know what other ASP apps he is using. Maybe they don't use VBScript. There is Linux support to ASP, through something named Apache::ASP or similar, but you can't run Snitz in an Apache web server.
Again, I would find it strange that GoDaddy supported ASP, using a paid ASP support package, in Linux machines, when someone who wants to run ASP can simply resort to their Windows servers. |

That's likely to be it - I tried Apache::ASP once, and found it only an ASP filter in name, it was too funky for me to be bothered translating everything. Sun One has some oddities with line breaks and spacing, but offers far more hope... |
