I've been frustratingly stuck on this problem for a month now. I've changed the permissions on the database folder and file to allow read/write. After reading the links above, I emailed my host and had them grant IUSER_<machinename> full access to the database. Yet nothing has changed. Are there any other possible avenues to explore?
