 I didn't really expect things to work on the first attempt, and they didn't, but I don't know what to do next.
1) Following the instructions, I ftp'd my Snitz files where they go on my new site, as well as the renamed database into the cgi_bin folder. I used whereami.asp to find my path to the database and made the appropriate change to the config file.
2) When I first attempted to browse to the database, I got the site's existing screen. renaming those index.html files so they would not be recognized, I got to a log-in screen the next time, where I tried to create my username and password. "Continue" brought me to something about updating the database. When I tried, I got 13 error statements.
3) I went back to the config and edited it with the alternate path that whereami suggests if the first "doesn't work." It did not. So I reinstituted the first path and expected to get the sign-in screen again. Instead, I got a portion of the Forums 2000 page and an "error line 91."
4) So it seems like I'm close, but missing every bit as good as a mile. Can anyone assistance?
Thanks. |

| You should get back to step 2 and ask your host to set read / write permissions for the anonymous internet user for your databse file and folder. Once he does that, you will be able to complete the forum setup. |

| I suppose I might have eventually found this in the Install Guide (where the error is identified), but you have sped me along wonderfully. (Would that there were a Snitz "owners manual.") Thanks, ruirib! |
