Ok, I just upgraded my forum to version 3.4.02 and everything worked well. The forum was back up and everything seemed fine. I then proceeded to install the Active Users MOD v. 4.0.17....
I uploaded the appropriate files and then went to the Admin Options and clicked MOD Setup, and it seemed to be working, but it just sat there. It wouldn't go anywhere, so I closed the browser and went back to the forum....and now all I get is an error that reads:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Could not use ''; file already in use.
/kamikazeeshots/forum/inc_header.asp, line 114
And if I got to setup.asp it outputs:
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
Error Description :
Could not use ''; file already in use.
I have read different threads that talk about this error, but why would I have gotten it after everything has been working and after I attempted to install this MOD? My connection string is right, and I had not altered anything....anyways....if anyone has an idea how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it. Right now I have a disabled forum

Most likely permissions are incorrect, or a database connection has not closed.
Go through: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q174/9/43.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0
If still no good,
Check this line in your code as well. this is where the error occurs.
inc_header.asp, line 114

Well I read through that article, and I understand what it is saying....but what doesn't make sense to me is that, I was not having any permissions problems and the forum was working fine....but when I attempted to do a MOD Setup, I all of a sudden started getting this error?
The permissions on the database folder are set to Read Write....
Line 114 in inc_header.asp is:
my_Conn.Open strConnString
It obviously has something to do with the connect string, but again, why would that all of a sudden not work when it WAS working and I had not edited anything? Help is greatly appreciated :) |

It seems to be that when I clicked MOD Setup, something grabbed ahold of the database and is not letting go. I cannot even delete the database off of the server now....
I guess I am going to have to restart the server....hopefully whatever has ahold of the file will release it, and the problem will be solved. |

It looks like either the permissions do not allow for the locking of the database, or you have a connection left open.
Restart the server, and perhaps redo your mod code and see if the problem goes away.
HTH,

Well after I restarted the server, I brought the forum back up....and then began installing the Activer Users 4.0.17 MOD.
I uploaded the files again and then went and clicked on MOD Setup ad I got the same freeze up! I am restarting the server yet again. Why might this be happening? Should I just try Alternative MOD Setup? I installed the previous version of Active Users without a hitch, but now it's looking like MOD's are freezing my whole forum! Suggestions? |

Hi,
So we have looked at the permissions, all is well, and also reinstalled the mod. what does the mod setup page return after installing the new tables, any errors e.t.c?
What do the instructions for the mod say to do to install, is there any reference to problems in the mods support topic under Forum Mods > w/code?
http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=33715
I think this is something to do with how you are installing the mod, please double check that you have the latest ver of the mod, and also that the mods topic does not mention this issue.
I will install this mod myself and see what happens and come back to you.

I am not able to run the MOD Setup, so it doesn't return anything. I think I just am not able to use the normal MOD Setup....I can use the Alternative MOD Setup without causing it to freeze up, but I do not know what to put in the alternative MOD Setup when I get to it!
I posted another thread to see if someone can answer that....do you know? |
