As an anonymous searcher I have reviewed the faq and several hundred specific postings in the support area. I like the snitz forum format of other sites.
I have a problem or Brinkster is causing a problem, because many of the snitz forums are up and running.
I can not get the strconnstring to recognize the database location. I have the database in the root <dir> under database <dir> and the other files are in the webroot <dir>.
Most attempts to connect shows an error which directs the config file to look in the webroot for the database and I am unsure of the fix for this problem.
If I put the database in the webroot file, the connection to the database works and this creates other problems.
How can I stop the strconnstring from looking in the webroot <dir>.
http://ctyner.brinkster.net I will change the database name. The database is also empty.
I contacted brinkster and verified the database file has read write permissions, they told me the permission was assigned, but I wonder.
Error description and connection string
Error Description :
'c:\inetpub\database\secretdbname.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\database\secretdbname.mdb" '## MS Access 2000
Error Description :

Error description and connection string

ruirib,
thanks for the response. I have come to the same conclusion. I have been on the phone and chat line with the host, They can not stop the strconnstring from seeking the database in the webroot dir.
If I put the database in the webroot the forum works, unfortunatly this is a problem in itself.
I like the look and performance of other sites powered by snitz, so my only thing now is to move on to another host.
This is a great source of information for those of us that need that little nudge in the right direction. You guys are great, thanks again.
My problem is now solved...new host.< |
