Did you change the strConnString in config.asp? I doubt it's going to be the same as you are using on your PWS setup.

ok...i found out the problem.

richard, what i did was:

in config.asp, created a few variables:


<%
' directory paths

dim strHomePath
dim strDBPath
dim strImagesPath
dim strAdminPath
dim strDiscussionPath
dim strDirectoryPath
dim strEventsPath
dim strWeatherPath
dim strClassifiedsPath
dim strNewsPath

strHomePath = "/"
strDBPath = strHomePath & "db/"
strImagesPath = strHomePath & "images/"
strAdminPath = strHomePath & "admin/"
strForumsPath = strHomePath & "forums/"
strLinksPath = strHomePath & "links/"
strEventsPath = strHomePath & "events/"
strWeatherPath = strHomePath & "weather/"
strClassifiedsPath = strHomePath & "classifieds/"
strNewsPath = strHomePath & "news/"
%>


my strConnString reads:


<%
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("" & strDBPath & "database.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
%>



i tested this on PWS and it worked.

when uploading to 7host (as a test), i changed:


<%
strHomePath = "/"
%>


to


<%
strHomePath = "/rdogg2k1"
%>


i forgot the slash at the end.

since the db wasn't connecting, config.asp redirected me to setup.asp.

using this code


<%
strHomePath = "/rdogg2k1/"
%>


worked.

silly mistake by me
