Code not being used as code? :S

[martynball]

I opened up the /public_html folder, and in there was a load of folders and a few files including the default web page.

Well, I sort of deleted them thinking I don't need them, but I uploaded my website, and when I open a page I just see the code...

Here is a link: http://martynleeball.x10hosting.com/contactus.asp

It must be ASPX not ASP.

.aspx is Microsoft ASP.NET, .asp is Microsoft ASP. X10 only supports ASP.NET

 

[martynball]

So if I simply change the file extensions to .aspx they will work?

in short, no

ASP is the classic version.
ASP.Net has 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 (might have missed a couple). But you will generally use 2.0 and up.
ASPX is the new file extension for ASP.Net

ASP.NET and ASP are similar but not the same, in the same way that windows XP, Vista and Seven are similar but not the same.

Sorry to complicate things further, but X10 only supports all of 1.0 and 1.1, most of 2.0, and a little of 3.5 because we use Linux based servers and have to emulate support for ASP.NET through mono http://www.mono-project.com/ASP.NET

It looks like you've changed the extension and are now getting an error. The web.config file is one of the biggest pains for switching to Mono from Windows IIS server. The guys in programming help should be able to help you no problem http://forums.x10hosting.com/programming-help

:S I am basically a noob with code Lol.

So I don't really know what to do, the includes don't work, I know that, how do I convert the code to aspx?

Edit:

Okay, cheers

After looking at it again, I do think it's plain ASP. Did you download Visual Studio Web Developer Express Edition? It's free and it's the best IDE for ASP.NET hands down. That would be the first thing I would do. It may have some tools to convert, but I don't think so. You really kinda have to start all over again.

I don't know of any hosts that support plain ASP, but I haven't looked. It seems to me to be more or less a dying language.

This is why I use .php
