Click to activate and use this control

Discussion in 'Flash/Shockwave' started by whattoeatwh, Jun 1, 2006.

  1. I love to use a bit of flash on my web sites. With the introduction of microsoft's security features, any navigation buttons you now need to click twice before they work.

    I did some research on the net and downloaded a tool from capitalhead.

    With this software you can type in your web address and it will fix the problem, I tried this and when I went to view the page it gave me the following error



    The page cannot be displayedYou have attempted to execute a CGI, ISAPI, or other executable program from a directory that does not allow programs to be executed.




    Please try the following:
    • Contact the Web site administrator if you believe this directory should allow execute access.
    HTTP Error 403.1 - Forbidden: Execute access is denied.
    Internet Information Services (IIS)








    So my question is .Can anyone tell me how I can get my pages with flash on them to appear without the "click to activate this control"





    Thanks

    Are you using VS.NET to publish your website?

    VS.NET has a bug that turns off Execute access in the directory.

    To workaround the issue, follow the below steps to reinstall the application

    - Logon to the control panel
    - Navigate to Web Application Tool
    - Select the directory / Application
    - Click Uninstall Application
    - Wait 5 seconds
    - Click Install Application

  3. Hi Bruce,


    Thanks for your response, I followed the steps you suggested but I am a little confused over


    Select directory /Aplication


    After going to Web Application Tool it displays my websiteunder the htdocs folder


    To the left of that it says


    Current Path:
    <NOBR> \htdocs
    </NOBR>
    The root application cannot be disabled.





    Sowhere do I click to"Select the directory / Application"?


    If you could help that would be great.


    Thanks

    Then Bruce replied with


    if the root app is failing, you'll have to contact support.





    I have contacted support with the whole story and they wrote

    well.. support probably didn't realize it's the root that's having problem.

    pls respond to the ticket telling that it's the root application that's messed up
