The database could not be opened !!
Check your config.asp file and set the
strConnString so it points to the database.
Also check if strDBType is set to the right databasetype.
Code : 80004005
Is the error i'm getting over and over and over again :(
UGH! I could really use some help. I've followed this thread (http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=27074) through and tried all of the things it suggests. I'm running Windows 2000 Professional and am trying to setup this forum through my IIS.
Here is my other goods.
Checking the file forum.mdb (what i called my converted Access 2000 file) the internet user has both read and write access on that file as well as the directory too. Also i have tried it with both the "Web Sharing" on and off... but as expected that didn't make much of a difference.
Here is my config.asp
Session.LCID = 1033 '## Do Not EditResponse.Buffer = truedim strDBType, strConnString, strTablePrefix, strMemberTablePrefix '## Do Not Edit'#################################################################################'## SELECT YOUR DATABASE TYPE AND CONNECTION TYPE (access, sqlserver or mysql)'#################################################################################strDBType = "access"'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\Inetpub\dbroot\forum.mdb" '## MS Access 2000strTablePrefix = "FORUM_"strMemberTablePrefix = "FORUM_"
i wish i was simply editing the wrong file ;) but unfortunately i am updating the correct config.asp file. Is there something i'm supposed to install in windows 2000 to properly run it? ... i do have Access 2000 installed :) ..
Moving the file to the C:\Inetpub\ directory doesn't seem to help.
And i have run the whereami.asp script and confirmed the directory that the script thinks the database is in. So i'm convinced it must be a permission thing or some setting in IIS or something i need to have installed that i don't?
ANY suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated. Is there something really stupid i'm missing?
In addition, why i really think it is permissions or some stupid setting in windows is cuz i also tried installing some other ASP scripts that use a database... such as a minipoll and a comment board and they both give similar errors. Here is the one from the comment board.
HTTP 500.100 - Internal Server Error - ASP error

ok hopefully people are still reading this.
I did some further investigation and alot of reading on MS sites etc. And i found the bit about how when an ASP script hits an Access database it creates a tempfile. Well i was looking and it does infact create a JET temp file in the windows\temp directory. Which i tried giving full control to everyone and it still gives me the same error. This tells me that the setup.asp IS finding the file, just that it can't properly open it. I have set up full control for the dbroot and the windows\temp and the forum directory (for user Everyone... for now ;), which you would think covers it all) and still nothing.
Is there something in win2k professional that i am missing setting up?
Thanks in advance...
Brent
