Troubleshooting and Common Errors  


Installing Breathofair Tv Guide should be relative staright forward, but due to a wide variations of web servers and configuarations problems may occur.

This page tries to anwser many of the questions that are asked almost everyday on Breathofair.


ASP Scripts won't run!  


This seems to be the most common problem that people have.

ASP need's to be run through a web server, hence the name Active Server Pages, no Server, no Active Pages.

If you are finding that you can't get an ASP script to run on your web space provided by your web space provider then check with them that they fully support ASP.

ASP is completely different to CGI and Pearl, so having support for CGI does not mean that you have support on your web space for ASP.


How can I tell if my web space supports ASP?

The page cannot be displayed.  

HTTP 500 - Internal server error (often confused with 404 page not found)

This is a very general error. Many people often say, when I click on a link in the forum I get a page can not be found error, 99.99% of the time this is actually incorrect, if you look closer at the error message it will be a 500 Internal server error.

If you receive this error when trying to run an ASP script with no error message or line number then you need to turn off Friendly HTTP Error Massages in Internet Explorer so you can get details on what is coursing the error.



Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.  

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.

This is the most common error that I'm asked about. This error usually happens when you try to insert data into or update data in an Access database. It means that you don't have sufficient permissions to write to the database.


If you are not running the server yourself you will need to contact your web space provider and ask them how to sort the problem out. You may need to use a special folder or they may have to setup a system DSN for you or change the permissions on the directory containing the database.


Operation must use an updateable query  

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
