i am attempting to set up Snitz for the first time and i have been working through the readme file that is included when you download everything else.
I am using the Access DB method and i have renamed the .mdb file. I have also edited the connecting string using the output of wherami.asp.
I am now atempting to access setup.asp but get a time-out error.
It says 'The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded' followed by an instruction to change the timeout value in IIS admin console. BUT it takes ages to display this message and i don't see how extending the time out will help - it takes long enough already.
That's a server problem, not a Snitz problem. It's usually caused by another website (or another page on your site) hogging all the resources related to processing ASP on the server. Best to get in contact with your host first, see what they have to say about it.
Search is your friend “I was having a mildly paranoid day, mostly due to the fact that the mad priest lady from over the river had taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.”
It can be several things, but my guess would be on a permissions issue. If you can do it, make sure the anonymous internet user has read / write permissions on the database file and folder. If you're using a hosting company, you need to talk to your host about that.
UPDATE: i have just got off the phone from the Admin.
I have found out that the server where i was trying to run the forum from doesn't have Jet drivers on, only SQL and its 64bit.
I have got access to another server so i am going to try it there (32bit and with Jet drivers). The admin has said he is going to set the permissions for me - i will get back to let you know how I fare
