first: Pentium 4 northwood, 256 mb Kingston RD ram, gigabyte 8ihxp Mainboard, 2 X barracudea Seagate, Watercooling (cpu+chipset) ATI, radeon 8500 GFX, Terratec Aureon 5.1 sky. Razer 2k mouse and sony screen. That takes care of the hardware. Running windows 2k
My ISP is cybercity, zyxel 650 router and my homepage host is B-one. for additional information www.b-one.com. it should suports access and mysql.. but I try to use access as it is the only thing I am partly familiar with
But my problem is that I can't seem to get the string correct. Or at least that appears to me as the most logical place I am mistaken. Read and re-read the readme and tried finding posts alike on this forum. I can't find something that I could use.. or appeared to be useful. I am not very skilled in homepaging/forum settings etc.
result: 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.
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=/customers/cacophony.dk/cacophony.dk/httpd.www/1/con9ss.mdb" '## MS Access 2000

I tried without renaming the forum.. with the same syntaxes.. what am I doing wrong?
I have to forum files in: forum2 the databse is for the time being located in folder: 1 And so is the "whereami" in the folder: 1
Please help.. either here... mail or msn.. msn=my email log on
First a link to the forum itself would be most productive. I had tons of trouble doing the connection string but maybe this time I could be of help. As a side note: as soon as you get the forum working rename the database and the database name in the connection string (to reflect the it) It is not a good idea to post the name of your database. It makes it public. As it is maybe one of the admins or moderators will "hide" it in your post. From now on I recommend doing it like this: Quote:
A link to the forum itself? What am I missing? :) I keep trying to run the "setup.asp" but it won't find the database...
am I missing something else essential?
and I did deliberatly post the file names etc... as I do not intend to use those I posted.. but they will work for the time being till I know how things work.. and for someone to help me make the right lines etc.. :)
Ant..
btw.. I need things with a shovel.. or I won't get it :)
The result: The database you are using needs to be upgraded !!
Code : 3704
remembering to remove the "'" gives following result:
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 : SQLState: IM002 Native Error Code: 0 [INTERSOLV][ODBC lib] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
and I inserted it as the third string in the string lines of the config file..
what do I do.. or what do I do wrong :) But the last attempt.. when I do not uncheck the ' has yielded more result than the other attempts :)
