Hi new to all this so please be patient i have uploaded the access db to the cgi-bin and renamed it, i have changed db type to "access". i have run the wehereami.asp and it give me this:
Where Am I?


snitz_forums_2000.mdb is used as an example database name.
If you have changed the name of your database, you'll need to change it in the strConnString example shown below, as well.

Physical Path to Database: e:\domains\b\boccajuniorsfc.co.uk\user\htdocs\cgi-bin\snitz_forums_2000.mdb

Example strConnString:

This one will work with either Access97, Access2000 or Access2002:

strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=e:\domains\b\boccajuniorsfc.co.uk\user\htdocs\cgi-bin\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 2000

(THIS IS THE ONE I HAVE USED)

Use the following only if you can't get the first one to work
One reason could be that your host doesn't have the MSJet Drivers installed:

strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=e:\domains\b\boccajuniorsfc.co.uk\user\htdocs\cgi-bin\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97

I have uploaded the files to a folder which i have called forum, this is where i am having probs, i try to run the setup.asp and all i get is a web page saying that the page cannot be found.
Please could someone tell me where i am going wrong.

What is the URL you are typing to get setup.asp to run?

Well, either the file setup.asp is not in that folder, or the folder does not exist, though the latter is more likely.
What is your root web folder (the starting folder where you place the stuff to show in your web site)? Where is the forum folder located, relative to this root web folder?

It doesn't look like that is the one, either.

Rui, it looks like he has a double forum folder, if you check this one...

http://www.boccajuniorsfc.co.uk/forum/forum/setup.asp

You get...

------------------------------------------------------------
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'

Script timed out

/forum/forum/setup.asp

The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.
-------------------------------------------------------------

A little closer, at least its recognizing the forum a little.

Switch the order of your title tags

You can increase the timeout by including this at the top of setup.asp

Server.ScriptTimeout = 100

It may not solve your problem though. Are you sure that the path to the database is correct in config.asp?

Make sure the permission for the database file and folder are ok.

snoopyfuzz, it all looks "good to go" now, but personally I would change the location of the forum from /forum/forum to just /forum It would be better to change now before you open the forum to your members.
