That depends on the database that you use and the driver.
Are you planning to use MySql or Sql Server ? Then you can use the ones in config.asp
If you use Access, you'll need a DSN (but you knew that from the other topic), the connectionstring is a bit different then, you use DSN=<DSN-name>

Thanks Gor!
I am using access.
Quick question, I am quite familiar with how to create a dsn. I am a little confused as to how this information gets loaded to the server. I have always run my forum locally.
Does the information get put into a page or is it the global.asa file.........
Thanks again!
Brian

Well, creating a DSN to an access database on Linux is one of the thing I've never done before. All I know that there is probably is a webbased application where you create it, just like you do on windows, nothing to put in a global.asa
The one time I tried to help another member with this, and I got access to his server, I couldn't get the DSN setup because a couple of other things (which I could set through that interface) needed to be installed. The help explained me what I had to do, the problem just was I couldn't do it from where I was sitting.
So that left me with the conclusion that using Access on Linux is hard.
The one installed on Softcastle, just uses the DSN-less connectionstring in config.asp
(easy)
