I need help with my setup.asp at my website. It is saying " Your strDBType is not set, please edit your config.asp to reflect your database type.

This is how I am doing it below.

'strDBType = "sqlserver"
strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"

'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines and edit it so that it points to where your database is!
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("cgi-bin/tools/pfiles_new420.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 on Brinkster
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 2000
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("cgi-bin/database/pfiles_new420.mdb") '## MS Access 97 using virtual path
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/snitz_forum._2000.mdb") '## MS Access 97 on Brinkster
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
'strConnString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=SERVER_NAME;database=DB_NAME;uid=UID;pwd=PWD;" '## MS SQL Server 6.x/7.x/2000 (OLEDB connection)
'strConnString = "driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=UID;pwd=PWD;database=DB_NAME" '## MS SQL Server 6.x/7.x/2000 (ODBC connection)
'strConnString = "driver=MySQL;server=SERVER_IP;uid=UID;pwd=PWD;database=DB_NAME" '## MySQL w/ MyODBC v2.50
'strConnString = "driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};option=4;server=SERVER_IP;user=UID;password=PWD;DATABASE=DB_NAME;" '##MySQL w/ MyODBC v3.51
'strConnString = "DSN_NAME" '## DSN

strTablePrefix = "FORUM_"
strMemberTablePrefix = "FORUM_"
strFilterTablePrefix = "FORUM_" 'used for BADWORDS and NAMEFILTER tables

Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks!

Everything looks ok. Are you sure that's the file you are uploading?

Yes. I rename the file to pfiles_new420 but it keeps saying "Your strDBType is not set, please edit your config.asp to reflect your database type."
I don't know what is wrong. It looks right to me too.

Have you tried this?

Can you post a link to a text version of your config.asp file? You can mask the detailed location of your .mdb file.

Sorry. I went to store with my wife and daughter. I'll try it and get back @ you.

Ok. I copy and paste your idea above and change my folders on the web to inetpub and dboot. I think I was suppose to do that.
2nd How can I make a text version? Can explain what you mean by that? I am new to web design and some things I am still learning.

Looking at that page, it doesn't seem that ASP is enabled on your server. I'm seeing *all* of the code in setup.asp. That means that it isn't being parsed at all.

Check with your web host to make sure you are using a server / plan that supports ASP pages.

muzishun is correct. You are using an Apache web server and Apache cannot run ASP with VbScript unless something called Sun One ASP is installed. You will need to use a board that Apache can run. I would suggest a PHP based board.

Thanks for the advise and I will look into it. I'll call my web host as soon as possible.

You all are right and are a very great help. My hosting company says it is impossible to run asp. I have already try to run a php board and was having trouble. I try to run your asp and that doesn't run either so I guess I need to look for a better option. Thanks for all your help and I hope you all can forgive me for my stupidness in posting that extra topic. Sorry!

If you need to have a look at possible competitors that can run in your board, have a look at http://forum.snitz.com/competition.asp
