| I'm trying to install my Snitz forums on domaindlx. Could someone please give me some instructions on how to install? The readme file that came with the forums, no offense to anyone, but are pretty lousy. Please help me out. |

| If someone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm not sure how to start installing it. I've uploaded everything, everything into the scripts folder, and the database file into the database folder but I'm not sure what else to do. I tried going to setup.asp but it says that the config.asp file is not configured correctly and I'm not sure exactly what I need to configure it to. |

It would have been better to upload all of the files that you uploaded to the /scripts directory, to a directory called /forum, but it should still work in the /scripts directory.
You need to edit the config.asp file and uncomment the strDBType = Access line and then uncomment and edit the strConnString line that you will use to point to your database.
Take a look here for an example: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/link.asp?TOPIC_ID=3296 |

Alright, I tried what the post had said.... I get a 500 Internal Error. any idea what maybe wrong? BTW: Here's the code I have
'#################################################################################
'## SELECT YOUR DATABASE TYPE AND CONNECTION TYPE (access, sqlserver or mysql)
'#################################################################################
'strDBType = "sqlserver"
strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"
## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/fpdb/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 97 using virtual path
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/fpdb/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
'strConnString = "driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=SQL_USER;pwd=PASSWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MS SQL Server 7
'strConnString = "driver=MySQL;server=SERVER_NAME;uid=MYSQL_USER;pwd=PASSWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MySQL
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=d:\ww\powercore\database\snitz_forums_2000.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
strTablePrefix = "FORUM_"

Here is the error I get right now when I goto: http://ww.domaindlx.com/powercore/forum/default.asp
Microsoft VBScript compilation error '800a0400'
Expected statement
/powercore/forum/config.asp, line 52
## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
^
Which means you accidently uncommented that line.
Place a ' back in front of that line.
Try fixing this first before trying what I posted in the message above this one. |

Thanx a lot Richard. It's finally working. lol.. But I got one more problem, as if the others weren't enough, I get this error when I go to wy default.asp file, http://ww.domaindlx.com/powercore/forum/default.asp
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e37'
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'FORUM_ARCHIVE_TOPICS'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
/powercore/forum/default.asp, line 297
Any suggestions?
