Please be patient, I'm new to all this.
I am setting up a website for a local youth sports group, and intend to include a bulletin board. However I would like to test it on my local PC before committing it to a host.
I have set-up IIS on my XP Prof. PC and have the rest of the website working ok. However I am having problems with setting up the Access side of the BB.
The basic web root folder is F:\WEB_ROOT, and I have put the HTML pages in this and web-shared it as "SportsClub", which I can reach by typing "http://localhost/SportsClub/index.html
I have set-up a folder f:\WEB_ROOT\ClubData which holds the MDB file. I have, under properties/Web Sharing shared it on Default WebSite and as Alias ClubData. I have allowed Read and Write access, however the readonly access for the folder, as a whole keeps being reset by Windows.
Whenever I try to run the Config.asp I just get a blank screen.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks
Roger |

| I'm guessing it's a privs thing - the IUSR account will probably need FULL CONTROL of the db folder as it has to create and delete files there, not just update the mdb - give that a try for starters, and have a good dig through the FAQ that came with the install - it may help a bit (I'm a bit rusty, I'm afraid) |
