Hi, hope you can help.

browsing to setup.asp crashes my virtual server account (chilisoft/mysql)

I since found that I should use setup.asp?RC=5 but I'm reluctant to try that until I've got some advice as I dont feel I should keep on crashing the server (isn't that nice of me).

this is from my ISP;
****
Please return this program to the vendors and/or re-configure properly before tying to run this program again.
Whenever you run this program it crashes the server for all users of ASP on your server.

The error message is:
java.sql.SQLException: Error during query: Unexpected Exception:
java.sql.SQLException message given: General error: Table
'keithu1.FORUM_CONFIG_NEW' doesn't exist
****

relevant bits from config.asp;

strDBType = "mysql"
strConnString = "DRIVER=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver;URL={jdbc:mysql://194.216.113.252:3306/keithu1};uid=keithu1;pwd=mypaswd"

RC=5... isn't that used for SQL instead of MySQL?

Keithu: Yes you need to run setup.asp?RC=5 to setup the database (it creates all the tables), if you don't do this snitz won't work.

Crash: RC=5 is for M$ SQL Server and mySQL.




Good things come to those who wait.

Thanks but it still crashes - any ideas?
I think the support guy at my ISP would like to know why it crashes the whole server, but I'd settle for it just working :)

May I ask why are you using a JDBC driver? Why not use an ODBC driver? I'm no specialist in MySQL (thank God for that ), but I think this is usually used with an ODBC driver. I would try an ODBC driver if I were you.

Are you sure the asp emulator is ChiliSoft and not iAsp or something else? Snitz only works with ChiliSoft.

It has not been shown that Snitz doesn't work on iASP. . .

Cheers for the help so far...

Well its stopped crashing the server. I created the mySQL database online using myAccess and the access db supplied. Now I just get blank screens.

ruirib: I'm just using the recomended string from the ISP, what would you recomend I changed the string to exactly?

Doug G: you're spot on ( D'oh) chilisoft is another server for another client.

Nathan: So has no-one actually tried? Or does that mean that it doesn't work but no-one can show why? Am I really breaking new ground here?

sorry "Now I just get blank screens" is a bit pants isn't it.

setup.asp gives me the setup has been completed screen. 'Click here to go to the forum.' gives me a blank page.

setup.asp?RC=5 asks for name and password so i put in the mysql username and pass as per the connection string. then I get to the admin login put in Admin admin and get another blank page.

Is this as good as it gets with iASP?

Well I had never seen a JDBC driver being used with MySQL, and I thought that could be the reason.
Doug, however seems to have found the cause. And sorry to disapoint you, but it's highly likely that you won't be able to get it running. I believe several members of the Dev team tried to make Snitz run in iASP, with the help of people from the tech support from iASP and they couldn't do it...

With a Unix machine you have more options than ASP based forums. Have a look here: http://forum.snitz.com/competition.asp
