asp errors not displayed

Question

I have moved an sql database from one server to a new one (detached/attached)

Now i experience some strange behavior as it does not work but NO error is displayed.

You need to place error checking code to find out what the actual error might be. I would suggest that you change you code like so:

<%
const database_dsn="PROVIDER=SQLNCLI10; SERVER=FR-2626\SQLLOP;DATABASE=Lop;Uid=admin- sql;Pwd=xxxx;"

'Its very important to add this line!!! '
On Error Resume Next
'Its very important to add this line!!! '

response.write "Step 0//"

set conn=server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
set RS=server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")

conn.Open database_dsn

if err.number<>0 then
    response.write err.description
end if

response.write "Step 1//"
req = "Select count(*) From tblArticleList"

response.write "Step 2//"
set RS = conn.Execute(req)

if err.number<>0 then
    response.write err.description
end if

response.write  "Step 3//"
