I would suggest talking to your host, ask them to create a folder outside your root web folder, with read/write permissions for the anonimous internet user account.

Also, as I said earlier, I would not put ALL the forum files in the cgi-bin folder. Make a folder called 'forum' and put everything but the database in that folder.

You *should* be able to put that in the cgi-bin.

LinkinMODE101, please make sure to read all of the replies ... I had already told you that the cgi-bin folder should work for that. Rui's suggestion would also work.

The database that is in the zipped download IS an Access database. Sounds like you have already chosen to use that. If your hosting package allows the creation of MySQL or MS SQL databases, then you could optionally choose to use a different type of datatbase.

thanx nikkol...
it's really helping me a lot, but...
what about this part: Choosing the connection string to use. and with that whereami.asp file.
is this right...strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.asp") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path ???
i'm confused on what to do on that part :(

use the Jet connection string. Go ahead and use the virtual path where the path part will be '/cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.mdb' (or '/cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.asp' if you changed the extension on the database).

i'm on step 7 on the read me.
i went www.mysite.com/forum/setup.asp, but then it says:
The database needs to be installed !!
You need to create all the tables in the database before you can start using the forum.

How do i do that?
Did i miss sumthing?
