data parser error

[john.applin395901]

Thankyou very much the activation worked!

Unfortunately I now have a new problem, I did a small test to see what the extension could do and the web page generated an error

DynamicWebCharts/Data/chart_test_dataparser1.asp?

I have read through some of the FAQs and I have dreamweaver set up correctly with a testing server.
If it's any help the site is running on our intranet, as such I can't provide you with a live link to view the problem.

Any help would be much appreciated.

What happens if you browse directly to the dataparser page:
DynamicWebCharts/Data/chart_test_dataparser1.asp

or the data page:
DynamicWebCharts/Data/chart_test_data1.asp

Thanks for the reply.

If i try to browse directly to the page I get the "internal error 500, website cannot display the page"

Hope this helps

internal error 500 is a generic error message.

Are you testing with IE? IE has a setting to show unhelpful error messages. If you are testing with IE, go to Tools -> Internet Options on the advanced tag, uncheck the Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages option. You may also want to try testing with another browser like fire fox.

If you are testing locally, it is possible your server is set to suppress error messages.

To enable the more advanced error messaging in IIS 7 for Vista you will need to do the following:
1) Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools
2) Open the IIS control panel and open the ASP option
3) At the top of the ASP control area select Display: Friendly Names
4) Now go down to the Compilation area and expand Debugging Properties
5) In debugging properties make sure to set Enable Client -side Debugging, Enable Server -side debugging, and Send Errors to Browser to TRUE. Make sure to click the Apply on the right side of the page.
6) After setting the debugging you must go back to the IIS control panel and using the controls on the right side restart the server.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I have been off work over the Christmas period.

After trying the advice I have managed to work out what was wrong. When using Dynamic data the chart_data.asp file was trying to look for the connection settings in the folder ../Connections/IPC.asp

Of course the connections settings are stored in the root of my site so when I copied the Connections folder into "DynamicWebCharts/Data/" folder on my site everything worked!

Thankyou everyone for your help and advice it is much appreciated
