I am currently finishing off a college course and my final project was to do a website for www.retrogamesonline.com . part of this was to do a forum , so having chosen to use snitz and have it hosted on brinkster everything seemed fine. until i was told that i couldnt do my presentation from the online website. is there a way of putting an example of the forum on a cd-rom, along with the rest of my website so that i can interact with it (obviously not updating it).. do i just place the database in the same folder as the rest of the site? also tried doing it but i couldn't run setup.asp or find.asp.
I don't think that it will work on a CD-Rom. First, the database has to writable (even if you don't post or update anything). Second, what is more important, the forum (like any other asp app) is not a standalone application but needs a webserver to run on. So I think what you will have to do is to install a webserver (IIS or PWS) on the pc on which you want to present the forum and copy (at least) the db file to the harddisk and make it writable.
