I have someone who is uploading the new version and she is getting this error:
Database Setup....
Your strDBType is not set, please edit your config.asp
to reflect your database type.
Here is what she says she is having a problem with-can anyone offer any advice please?
I need to know what to do right after that point here is what the lines say... (I will put the part I am stuck on in red) I am not sure where or what to edit..

It depends on what database you are using. For example, if you are using the Access database that comes with Snitz you would do something like this:
'#################################################################################
'## SELECT YOUR DATABASE TYPE AND CONNECTION TYPE (access, sqlserver or mysql)
'#################################################################################
'strDBType = "access"
'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines and edit it so that it points to where your database is!'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("dbase/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 on Brinkster
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\dbase\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 2000 using physical path
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("dbase/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 97 using virtual path
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("/USERNAME/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 97 on Brinkster
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbase\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97 using physical path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("dbase/snitz_forums_2000.accdb") '## MS Access 2007 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=SERVER_NAME;database=DB_NAME;uid=UID;pwd=PWD;" '## MS SQL Server 6.x/7.x/2000 (OLEDB connection)
'strConnString = "driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=UID;pwd=PWD;database=DB_NAME" '## MS SQL Server 6.x/7.x/2000 (ODBC connection)
'strConnString = "Provider=SQLNCLI;server=SERVER_NAME;database=DB_NAME;uid=UID;pwd=PWD;" '## MS SQL Server 2005 w/ SQL Native Client
'strConnString = "driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};option=16387;server=SERVER_IP;user=UID;password=PWD;DATABASE=DB_NAME;" '## MySQL w/ MyODBC v3.51

You would need to remove the ' above in red and change the part in green to point to your database. (You should also rename your database too.) |

To "uncomment" means to remove the apostrophe at the beginning of the line - apostrophes in visual basic designate the line isn't to be processed as part of the code.
Assuming she's using access and hosting the forum locally, you would use the option in red, changed to show the actual path.
If the forum is being hosted elsewhere, she will probably want to use the virtual path (in blue). In this case, make sure the connection string in red remains commented and remove the apostrophe in front of the blue string. Again, it must be changed to reflect the path to her forum's database file.
Leather beat me to it. LOL |

OK- she did that and this is what she is saying now-
Ok, made the changes and it still says...
Database Setup....
Your strDBType is not set, please edit your config.asp
to reflect your database type.
If this helps at all--
Here is where I installed the forum...
domain.com/forum
The database...
domain.com//forum/dbase
The images...
domain.com/forum/images
I changed the red lines....

If she is on a commercial server you can't put DB files in the Public root, they have a /database directory for them.
She needs to move it there and then change the path to reflect that.

You can place files anywhere you want on a server. True, some hosts will only grant the necessary permissions for running an Access database to a specific directory but there is absolutely nothing in this topic to suggest that Scrapkits' client's host does so.
