We have installed pws and snitz on our computer. Currently we are not web accessible (only intranet)and are trying to get the whereami module to run. So far no luck. We can get to the intranet site but when we type in the path we the file does not seem to be executing. When we try using the open option on the browser, we can reach the word pad script but nothing else. can anyone help?
Can you give us a little more information? For example, did you install the Snitz forum as a virtual directory? Where did you place the whereami.asp file? You probably don't have the read/write permissions correct on the folder. If you're using PWS I assume you're running Windows 98. What I've done in that case is install the Snitz forum in the C:/Inetpub/Scripts/Forum/ directory since the Scripts directory already has the right permissions. Then I create a virtual web pointing to that directory. Make sense?
You can't open asp files directly, they must be served up from a web server. If you're running IIS/PWS on the same computer as the whereami.asp file, use a url in your browser something like http://localhost/thefolder/whereami.asp.
Thank you for the advice, we figured out it had to do with the file permissons. We have however run into another snag. when we try to run setup.asp we are asked to login as the administrator and it will not let us setup a username and password for the admin

Do you have write permissions setup on the database?
