Hi. im trying to set up a forum in a public server(ms-network.net) but i get this message: "The database could not be opened !! Check your config.asp file and set the strConnString so it points to the database. Also check if strDBType is set to the right databasetype. Code : -2147467259"
My connect string in config.asp looks like this : strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=/public/snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
My access file is in the public directory and that's the only directory with read/write acess
You need to specify a physical disk path to the database, not a URL. Go to the home page here and locate the whereami tool, download it and it will tell you the physical location of your database file.
