General Info:

Version - 3.4
Host - 1and1.com
Domain - http://www.forum.deltaomicron-mu.org
Database Type - mySQL
strConnString - I don't know what this is...

-----

I believe I have set everything up correctly - but I am confused when I get to the actual installation of Snitz.

'strDBType = "sqlserver"

'strDBType = "access"

strDBType = "mysql"

-----

strConnString = "driver=MySQL;server=db1072.perfora.net;uid=user id here;pwd=password here;database=database name" '## MySQL w/ MyODBC v2.50

(information missing is filled in in the config file)

-----

I've gone and created a subdomain for the forum:

http://www.forum.deltaomicron-mu.org

I've created the database

I've uploaded the files from the sf2k_v34_06 folder to my FTP

And lastly I've linked the destination of the subdomain to that of the location on my FTP.

-----

The part of the installation that I do not understand is this:

Open http://<yourservername>/<forumdirectoryname>/setup.asp in your browser.
Follow the instructions to create the forum tables in your database.

Does that mean I go to:

http://db1072.perfora.net/forum-deltaomicron-mu_org/setup.asp

or do I go to

http://forum.deltaomicron-mu.org/setup.asp

When I go to the second link (forum.etc etc) I find myself looking at the setup.asp file, as if I were looking at it in a text editor.

If I try to go to db1072... well, there is no such page.

-----

I have only worked with installing WordPress before, so installing other things (like Snitz) is all very new to me.

Thank you for your help.

Your server is an Unix server running Apache. You won't be able to use Snitz on that server. Either get a Windows server or use a compatible forum package from here: http://forum.snitz.com/competition.asp
