Hi,
I need to run 2 snitz forums on one web site (using IIS 5, win 2000 server - using access now but sql server later) , is it possible to run these as two seperate entities? I need one snitz forum for students (their profiles need to be seperate from staff), and one for staff.
If this is possible could someone show me how to do this? I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks very much in advance, motto...

Just use a different database for each forum and use a different set of files for each forum. Each complete set of Snitz files should be in a different folder.

OK that sounds not too bad! Just 2 questions though:
1/. when I change the name of the database how do the relevant files know which database to send data to?
2/. should the files and/or the folder be renamed or can they stay the same?

Each forum will have it's own config.asp. So for the 1st forum, let's say in forum1 folder, config.asp will point to the database for forum 1, and the config.asp file in the folder for forum 2 will point to the database for forum 2. Looks simple enough...

The files cannot have their names changed, and obviously you need to have two different folders. You cannot have two folders with the same name, can you, unless they are themselves in different folders, right?

The forum is also supposed to be able to accomodate multiple forums within the same database hence the forum_ prefix, but the since the config table was reconfigured to config_new, it now seem as though each forum would have to run off of a different config table in addition to the forum_ tables if the same database is used. Am I correct?

You are correct. The prefix is used also with the config_new table, so you'll have two tables, I would say.

Two forums in the same database can share a members table, but not a config table.
