First of, don't worry about my other post.
On with my problems.
I've just uploaded a fresh install of the forum to: www.ratpacksquad.com/~DomsPad/forum . As you can see, it goes straight to a dir listing because the host doesn't support default.asp. To over come this, i thought about having a index.asp with - Response.Redirect("defau;t.asp") in it. Will this work?
Now my other problems is logining in. You can do everything else part from gaining Admin or logging in.
So has anyone got anyideas?
Also is there a Access97 ver of the database ? just that i can't open the 2000 ver.

NOTE: Im not in a hurry, gotta revise for exams :(

Thanx all,
Dom

Yes,

Using a index.asp with just this code should work:


<% 
  response.redirect("default.asp")
%>

Make sure there is nothing else in that file but the code above.

Also found your problem.
It has to do with the url you are using. The default cookiesetting is "Forum"
That means it uses the path to your forum to make the cookie unique for that path.
It didn't like that, probably because of the ~
I've set the cookiemode to "Website" (in the admin options) and was able to logon after that.

Cheers M8.......man it feels good to have a 10/10 Forum........
Thanx again

Also, is there away around the cookie thing? On the help it says that setting to 'forum' would allow me to have multi forums, can i still do this on 'website' mode?

You could have more than one forum, but you would run into problems if you have a user gor in one forum and a different user gor in the other.
Website cookie mode is good if you want those forums to share the same usertable, because that means you only need to logon once.

Not sure about a work around, if it is a cookie problem probably not.
You could try replacing this line in config.asp:

strCookieURL = Left(Request.ServerVariables("Path_Info"), InstrRev(Request.ServerVariables("Path_Info"), "/"))

with


strCookieURL = "/~DomsPad/forum/"
