I was reading through past threads about Brinkster but I couldn't find anything that addressed my question. So, here goes:
http://www22.brinkster.com/rpgboards/forum/setup.asp
I can't seem to log in as the Admin. Can anyone help?

looks like you didn't get all your files uploaded, specifically inc_functions.asp, make sure that file's uploaded, and if it is, i'd delete all your files and then reupload a fresh copy of the forum

Thanks for the help. I see that I did miss an entire row of 7 icons - one being the inc_functions.asp. I'll upload them once my connection stops moving like a dead slug...

I'm now getting this error/message:
ADODB.Connection error '800a0e7a'
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.
/rpgboards/forum/setup_login.asp, line 58
Can anyone help?

Have you edited the config.asp file and uncommented the necessary lines?
Your DB Type should be "Access" |

Here's my settings:
strDBType = "access"
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/rpgboards/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
Those are the only ones uncommented.

you're gonna want to download this whereami.asp script http://forum.snitz.com/archive/redirect.asp?linkid=17
upload it to your root direcotory, run it, and then see what the directory your website is. Then to that path you'll want to add the directory name your database is in, and then the database name, and then that whole path in the other Access2000 strConnString

I got this from the whereami.asp:
\\genfs2\www22\rpgboards\db\whereami.asp
And here is what I put in:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("\\genfs2\www22\rpgboards\db\snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
No luck...

The strConnString you had the first time is correct. Brinkster has .NET Beta 2 installed on their servers now, so it might be something to do with that.
Can you e-mail me your username/password for your Brinkster Account? I'll take a look at your config.asp file for you. |

Yup, I sent them. I screwed up in the first e-mail... just ignore it.
Edit note: Just to clarify things, rpgboards is my username.

Did you send the e-mail from the forum here? If so, can you e-mail me from your e-mail software instead. Email through the forum sometimes takes a little while to arrive.
my e-mail address: richard_kinser@yahoo.com |

you're welcome
there was a missing semi-colon in the strConnString line. And the Database wasn't all there. There was only like 227bytes, did it time out while you were uploading it? I uploaded a new copy of the database file also. |
