Hi All,
I've forgotten the admin password, so followed the directions in this post:

http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53617&SearchTerms=password

edited the config.asp and changed "Const intAdminMemberID = 6" to the new user id. Then uploaded the edited config.asp file... the forum is now no longer visable?

Any suggestions of what I should do

Thanks again


Dave

What did you use to edit the config.asp file?

Dreamweaver, code view.

I changed the Const intAdminMemberID = from 1 to 2, then uploaded... the site didn't worked, so I changed it back to 1 then re-uploded it. The site still dosen't work?

Thanks

Dave

It's possible that the file became corrupted somehow.

are you uploading it in ASCII mode or in Binary mode? Make sure you upload it in ASCII mode.

Is your site accessible on the Internet? If so, can you post the link to it?

here is the error that I see:

quote:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Unrecognized database format 'e:\inetpub\esvc001148\database\OSH_forum_04.mdb'.

/forum/inc_header.asp, line 114


sounds like your database might have become corrupted.

The forum was working fine just before made the change to the config.asp file. Could doing that corrupt the database?

Or should I be running setup again??

cheers

No, editing config.asp will not corrupt the database. Do you have Microsoft Access ? If so, can you try downloading your database and open it in Microsoft Access?
