I have had a DSN "mysql.netherworldkingston.com" setup via my ISP.
I have downloaded a "empty" mysql database into mysql_netherworldkingston_com via ftp

I have "installed" into www.netherworldkingston.com/mysql/ so that www.netherworldkingston.com/mysql/setup.asp is my setup file.

when I run setup I get this ...

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 :
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

the "edited strings are:

strConnString = "driver=MySQL;server='mysql.netherworldkingston.com';uid=*****;pwd=*****;database=netherworld" '## MySQL w/ MyODBC v2.50

where ***** are my removed passwords and userid

any hints?
Sean

Is the MySQL 2.5 driver loaded on your web server?

Search the MySQL forum there are alternate connection strings that work with newer MyODBC drivers.
