Hi guys, I have been having problems with my forum for about a week it’s an intermittent problem, so guessed it was a hosting problem.
The errors my members kept getting was
quote:
Provider error '80004005'
Unspecified error
/inc_header.asp, line 111
and
quote:
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'
Script timed out
/default.asp
The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools.
I was told by my hosts that the problem was looked at and
quote:
We have made a small change to the settings on the server for forumsuperstars.com which should help with the problem you reported
But my members kept getting problems, similar problems as above!
I informed my hosting company and I got this email back from them.
quote:
One more suggestion we would make - would be to use the name of the database server in your scripts rather than its external IP address. You can find this information on your database configuration page in your control panel and will be the name listed under "Server-name". Where this name will be fine to use in scripts, you will not be able to use this externally of Fasthosts. You wont, for instance, be able to connect your SQL client using this name, as it is only recognisable by Fasthosts' systems.
If and when this does reoccur, please let us know ASAP so that we can conduct further tests as the problem occurs.
Regards
Now I have told them before I am not any kind of programmer and indeed if it wasn't for this forum my site would be gone! Anyway are my hosting company right? And if so how can I do what they ask?

| The similarly random nature of the problem would point to server related issues, not the IP thing, I'd say. Probably overloaded server, which seems the most likely reason to me.< |

i used to get the 1st error quite often a few years ago, and i think ti was due to the connection string i was using in the forum.
i was using access but i think i was using the connection string for acces 97 or somthing like that.
so i changed the conenction string to use the access 200 and upgraded the database adn then that error stopped showing up.
maybe it was a coincident, maybe it was a server change but i have always used that connection sting and havent had that error show up ever since.

Hi guys, I´ve been having the same problem since a long time ago. I keep getting this:
Provider error '80004005'
Unspecified error
/forums/inc_header.asp, line 111
So the way I usually fix it is by changing the DNS. For example. In the config.asp file, I change this line:
strConnString = "forums082" '## DSN
to
strConnString = "forogolem08" '## DSN
I do this back and forth and it always works. I´ve spoken to my hosting provider and they say there´s nothing they can do about it. So my question is if you guys know what´s going on, and how to fix it.
Also the performance of my forums is very slow. Maybe this is related.
This is the address fot the website. Try to navigate and you´ll see the error.
http://www.golemproducciones.com/forums/default.asp
I used to run my database in access, and now I use SQL Server. Migration was done by the hosting company.
Thanks in advance!
