i am trying to install on an external server that supports .asp...
-main directory www.american-rag.com/rustynails
-snitz located at /rustynails/forum
-database located at /rustynails/database


i am receiving the following error
"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"

i have listed the config.asp using the virtual path for ms access...
'strDBType = "sqlserver"
strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"


'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("rusty.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 on Brinkster
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 2000
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 97 using virtual path
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 97 on Brinkster
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
'strConnString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=SERVER_NAME;database=DB_NAME;uid=UID;pwd=PWD;" '## MS SQL Server 6.x/7.x/2000 (OLEDB connection)
'strConnString = "driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=UID;pwd=PWD;database=DB_NAME" '## MS SQL Server 6.x/7.x/2000 (ODBC connection)
'strConnString = "driver=MySQL;server=SERVER_IP;uid=UID;pwd=PWD;database=DB_NAME" '## MySQL
'strConnString = "DSN_NAME" '## DSN

strTablePrefix = "FORUM_"

Try adding the path from the root of your web in the Server.MapPath statement, like Server.MapPath("/rustynails/database/rusty.mdb")

There is a whereami utility available from the main forum downloads that will help if you need it. Go to forum.snitz.com downloads
