Hello,
Note: The Server / DB that I am trying to connect to is local (we have the server in a server room here)
I am following this tutorial:
http://tinyurl.com/9c64t5k
Everything is in place, except I do not know what to put in the "data_source" and "Server.MapPath" fields in the 'form_ac.asp' file.
It seems like no matter what I put in there (I have tried several different connection strings), that I always get a '500 Internal Server' error as soon as I 'submit' the form. Its like something else is out of place, because it doesn't even seem to check the DB strings (just based on how quickly the 500 error shows up)
You can see the 'test' form I am working with here:
http://dealer.electrabike.com/registerTest/form.htm
And here is the file the form posts to (form_ac.asp):
The bold is where I am having issues. No matter what connection string I try, I keep getting the 500 error in my browser.
I have created the Database in SQL Server Management Studio, and created the table. The screenshot is attached.
Do you guys see anything out of place? I have never done this before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
