Log in as Admin, click profile, from there you can change the password. To create a new forum, make sure you are logged in as Admin and on the main forum page to the right of the Category are some icons, the purple folder is to create a new forum
I've never seen any purple folders yet either. Is this for an older version or something because I can't get anything to update or even see anything to add a new topic yet. can't even register a new user. http://www.bmgames.com/forum/default.asp I can't get anything to work so far, and the forum is exactly the way it comes in the zip file including admin login if anyone want to check it out for me. thanks newuser tomt
http://www.bmgames.com/forum/default.asp Just change my provider to hosted by webstrikesolutions.com because they support everything and we talked and submitted code with this forum on another programming site and it was great, so we wanted to set up a new site for RPG game programming forum.
My provider has a control panel and I enabled Data Base read/write on both the forum directory and the fpdb directory which has the snitz mdb file in it. I will be using front page for the home page later but I did not have them install any front page extensions. I just used an ftp program and made the data base folders and uploaded the original files. The zip which we just downloaded a couple days ago say V3_1_srv4. Got it from your site and other than changing the two lines that the read me say to, nothing has been changed. The admin and admin password are the same because I can't get anything to work yet.
Give a database or directory updateable permissions. This process gives the NT user 'IUSR' read and write access to any files or directories you specify. It effectively gives a specified file the ability to be replaced or updated by a process such as an ASP script. It is most commonly used for Access Databases. (Note: this is not the same as giving a regular text file write access) -- I used this to enable data base permissions on the two folders with the control panel!!!!
The site control panel also has --But I did not do this option!!!! This process gives the NT user 'Everyone' read and write access to any files or directories you specify. It effectively gives a specified file the ability to be written over or replaced by a process such as a cgi or asp script. (Note: this is not the same as giving a database updateable permissions)
Do you think that is my problem, also do these only need to be for the fpdb folder and not for the forum folder. Their help files are typical for people who already know what their doing .. If you want your more than welcome to go in and check things out. This site isn't really in use yet because the forum is going to be the important part of it. Thanks for your time and info.
