Anybody having problems using that forum at Brinkster.com (general membership with free ASP support)? I dont know well ASP so I cant figure out what is my problem.
I think I also need to know what type of DB server it can support (Access 97, 2000, SQL) I truly need help and enlightment
thx
(update: I just discover that my whole code wasn't inserted in the DB directory, I guess i must reupload the forum there)

JonZ,
The db directory is for the Access database file only. Create a sub-directory and call it forum or any other name that you like and that is where you place your files. Please note that you will NOT be able to use the e-mail feature with Brinkster's free account.
Thanks,
Mo |

Ok, I created a /forum in my root directory and I uploaded all files in it. But when I uploaded the files, an asp file (I think it Admin_color something) was unable to upload. It sais the server script timeout was too high. Maybe I can fix that so it can be below or equal to 90 (maximum allowed) but I still cant run the forum.
Maybe the problem reside inside the default.asp. I need to remove the comments properlly and input the correct path access.

thx for helping me

Yes. Change that number to 90 or less. I went to you web site and received this error. Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
'c:\inetpub\dbroot\forum.snitz.com\snitz_forum.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
/ttaclan/forum/inc_top.asp, line 42
Your problem is the stuff in red. Instead do the following:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("\ttaclan\db\snitz_forum.mdb") & ";" & _ "Persist Security Info=False"
Once again, the e-mail features that come with Snitz forum will NOT work with the free account from Brinkster.
Thanks,
Mo

Ok Thanx for helping me, it look like working for now. But I need to replace the file called admin_count.asp. I dont have it now, and I cant download the package on Snitz again (Macintosh user having hard time here ). Can someone send the file to me at jonzadd@hotmail.com ?
Also, if all email feature cannot work on Brinkster, maybe there's a way to remove it or replace it by some alternatives ?

K thx Mafifi, I fixed the server script thing and uploaded it.
But something is wrong in the code you wrote :
strConnString =
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _ "Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/ttaclan/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") & ";" & _ "Persist Security Info=False" '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
Brinkster point the code as an unknown symbol or character in it. What's wrong? (link below)
If I let the code like this (nearest of the original code source):
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/ttaclan/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
It seem to work; but now I must fix the Admin profile error msg... I'm almost there !
