Q/. Windows NT Common Problems

A/.

The most common problem by far is the proper configuration of Windows NT so that the database can be both read and written.

In 99% of all cases we have analyzed for our customers, the problem has been the permissions of the anonymous user IUSR.

We have listed below most of these problems and point back to Microsoft Knowledgebase to help you get more information.

Personal Web Server

Personal web Server is primarily used to test our YourVirtualStore demonstration and to build a test shopping system before uploading to your Web Host or Windows NT Server.
By far the most common problem is that PWS is not installed on your computer and the ASP pages display on the browser or start some strange program instead of running the shopping cart.

The second most common problem is that PWS is not told where you installed the YourVirtualStore software.

I am totally confused, what do I do?
