Hello I have got all the files uploaded on Brinkster but i don't know what shall i do with the connection string? i mean where do i put it? here is my connection string..i have changed the db name here for the security reasons:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/lyns626/db/somekindofforum.mdb") ## MS Access 2000 on Brinkster strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/lynx626/db/somekindofforum.mdb") ## MS Access 97 on Brinkster
Thanks David...do i only need this?: strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/lyns626/db/somekindofforum.mdb") ## MS Access 2000 on Brinkster
ok..the next question is what do i do with it? i have saved it on my pc but i don't know where do i put it on brinskter? and i didn't upload tools.zip folder as well..do i need to upload it as well? and i can't open setup.asp file Help!!! Thanks a bunch!
Have you read the readme.htm file that comes with the Snitz downloaded files. Everything is explained there. You set both the connection string and the strDBType in config.asp.
In Brinkster your database should go into the DB folder. All other Snitz files, should go into your root folder. Tools.zip does not need to be uploaded.
Also you should change the name of your database to a hard to guess name, to stop it from being downloaded. Don't forget to change the name in config.asp as well, if you change the database file name. An option regarding the database file is chaging the extension from .mdb to .asp.
you have to make sure you do have all these files up there, and in the correct location (not the DB folder for examlple) and turn off "friendly http error messages" on IE (internet options->advanced) to know exactly what's wrong!
thanks onewaymule..all i did wrong was i missed out the whole chunck of inc_..... files..i dunno who messed with my pc that those files were deleted from the folder...but..now the problem has been solved!! Thanks a lot
But don't yet lock the topic!!!! There's another problem...it now says something to do with connection string! Please have a look at my default and setup.asp files and then please tell me whats wrong with it! Thanks a lot!
