well, my question is this..I got today a working snitz forum on a server which isnt mine! Is it possible to leave my ASP pages on his server (does support asp) and put the database on my server (dont support asp)..Some of you're asking why?? well, i'll get enough members with their private password..and ofcourse the admin password

this is my config.asp :

strDBType = "mysql"
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("forums_2000/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path

ofcourse i need to change something but what??

( ftp = members.home.nl
login = turksnl
password = ***
and db = snitz_forums_2000.mdb )

so anyone know how my database should look like?????

First:
If you are using Access (97/2000) the strDBType should be set to 'access' not to 'mysql'.
You'll get error-messages using it this way.

As far as I know you can't use an Access database that is on a different server.
You can do this with MS Sql Server (with IP enabled as protocol) or MySql (has IP enabled as protocol by default). In that case you would replace the SERVER_NAME of the database-server with the IP number of the server, i.e. when using MySql on a different server:


strConnString = "driver=MySQL;SERVER=123.123.123.123;PORT=3306;DATABASE=DB_NAME;UID=abcde;PWD=xxxx" '## MySQL

ofcourse replacing the values with the one applicable in your case.
