Need help with this script

[Danny]

I am able to read the contents of our dynamic pages, but how can I create
these html files on the fly on our server using asp. THe code below is a
test to see if I can read the html and then save it to a file on our server
in the same directory.

It will not let me write to the file.

I am trying to create static html pages from our dynamic asp script.
I know it is an writes issue, but does anybody have any other ideas?


Thanks

code is below:

----
Set http = CreateObject("microsoft.xmlhttp")
testfile = http://www.myserver.com/index.asp?product=55

http.Open "Post", testfile,False
testit2 = http.Send()
testit = http.responsetext



Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fs.CreateTextFile("testfile.html, True)

a.write (testit)

What do you mean, it will not "let" you write? Do you get an error? What
is it? What line?

In your sample code, you're missing a quote:

Set a = fs.CreateTextFile("testfile.htmlHERE, True)

Hi Ray

Thanks for writing. Yes, I get a permission error when I run the script. I
guess it is not letting the asp script create the file on the web server?
How can I fix.

THe quotes are in the actual script, thanks for pointing that out.

Thanks

What is the error? (Copy and paste it from your browser.) And what line of
code gives this error?

IT is the createtextfile command and this is the error

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0046)
Permission denied
/testit.asp, line 81

command is this
Set a = fs.CreateTextFile("testfile.html", True)

Thanks

Try specifying the path in which the file should be created in. By not
specifying a path, it will [attemp to] be created in %systemroot%\system32.
Chances are pretty great that your IUSR doesn't have permissions to write a
file there, not that you'd want it there anyway.
