Hey guys,
I'm having some trouble getting Snitz up and running.
I'm just testing it in MDB format at the moment and thrown it on a box which I was testing Exchange 2003 on; hence it has IIS6 etc installed.
I have put the Database file in a directoy c:\Forum_database
and put the rest of the files under the web directory:
\inetpub\db
I have setup the connection strings as per the readme and the database string.
I then get to the stage where I run the setup.asp
I find the file under the inetput\db directory and open it with IE.
It opens to show the coding only and doens't run the ASP. I don't know why this is, can anyone fill me in on the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum mate 
Sounds like your IIS is not configured to run scripts. Have you got any other ASP scripts running on that box ? |

| No nothing at all. I had only been using it to test Exchange under this environment. What configuration needs to be done to run scripts on top of the standard IIS install? |

Open:
Controly Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Services -> YOU NAME HERE(local computer) -> Web Sites -> Default Web site
Right click on the appropriate folder, select Properties
You need Read checked, Write checked, and Execite Permissions: Scripts selected |

| Ok, will try that tomorrow. Does it matter where the ASP script is when it's run? |

Ok, I've got to the stage where I get 13 errors.
Saying.... [MICROSOFT][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Operatoin must use an updateable query.
I did a forum search and it said that this is a permissions problem.
For testing purposes I currently have all the setup files in a subfolder of the wwwroot directory and the database on C:\forumdatabase
Both folders have Modify and Read access for the IUSR_%HOSTNAME% user. Any ideas? |

Ok, It's obviously a permissions problem because it worked with permissions set to everyone. Obviously this is very secure to leave like this. Any idea why it wouldn't work with ISUR set to Full?

The IUSR_... user needs to have read/write permissions for the file and folder. It's a common issue.
I would also advise you to use an OLEDB driver, as it is more robust and performance is better if you use it instead of an ODBC one. |

Ok, will do.
Other things I'd like to know... I'll put it in here so not to spam the forum.
Is there a way to not show who is administering each category? I'd rather it be anonymous to people who they are being administered by.
And is there a way of showing member number (as in order of registration?) under their name when they post.
Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate it!

| In the Admin options, under "Feature Configuration", turn "Show Moderators" to off. |

We all had to start somewhere.  Glad I could help.
As to your other question, someone had set up the code to add the member number to the posting information a while back. If you search the archives you should be able to find it. |
