I'm running on a Windows 2000 server (http://www.viking-magic.com/forum/setup.asp), and when I try to access setup.asp, I get HTTP 403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden
Internet Information Services.
I have set the all the r/w/x bits to 1 for this file, and for the forum folder, but it refuses to work. What am I doing wrong? |

I get this error when I go to the URL you provided:
quote:
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.
So check your config.asp first. |

| It's odd that it would start working without me changing anything, but now I have this new problem to solve... I have set up the forum on my own PC running Windows XP Pro, using the default Access database and the Server.MapPath("/db/forum_db_2002.mdb") string, which works perfectly. Using the same config on the remote server, It comes up with the error message mentioned in the post above. Any ideas why? |

Are you running NTFS? If so there are other permissions per user you may need to adjsut.
It the Internet Service Manager, navigate to the folder with your forum code pages, open the properties page and make sure you have script execute enabled for the folder.

| I don't have direct access to the server, but they do have chmod enabled through ftp. I'm not sure if this actually works properly, though. what permissions should the files/folders have? |

| chmod won't do for these tasks. You'll need access to the server for this. Regarding IIS permissions, the folder will need script execution permissions. Regarding NTFS permissions, the anonymous internet user will need read and execute permissions on the folder. Better talk to your host to make sure they are properly set. |
