I've tried for 2 days to install these forums but I havent had any success at all...

One of my problems is that I have no idea which strconnstring line I'm supposed to puth the path to my DB at...

'strDBType = "sqlserver"
'strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"

'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
'strConnString= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLED
.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/fpdb/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\dbroot\forum.snitz.com\snitz_forum.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
'strConnString = "driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=SQL_USER;pwd=PASSWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MS SQL Server 7
'strConnString= "driver=MySQL;server=SERVER_NAME;uid=MYSQL_USER;pwd=PARRWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MySQL

strTablePrefix = "FORUM_"
strMemberTablePrefix = "FORUM_"

That above is like greek to me and I have no Idea on what to delete and replace with or whatever I'm supposed to do...

I know to delete the ' thing, but how do I know which strconnstring to use and enter my DB path to?

the where am I file gave me this:

Path Translated: e:\domains\www1.7host.com\user\htdocs\66439\cgi-bin\whereami.asp

Any help?

If you have placed the snitz_forums_2000.mdb file in the cgi-bin directory where you have the whereami.asp file then use this:


'strDBType = "sqlserver"
strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"
 
'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
'strConnString= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/fpdb/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
strConnString= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=e:\domains\www1.7host.com\user\htdocs\66439\cgi-bin\snitz_forums_2000.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
'strConnString = "driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=SQL_USER;pwd=PASSWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MS SQL Server 7
'strConnString= "driver=MySQL;server=SERVER_NAME;uid=MYSQL_USER;pwd=PARRWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MySQL
 
strTablePrefix = "FORUM_"
strMemberTablePrefix = "FORUM_"

You'll need to log back in as Admin and then goto the Members page and click on the that is in the right hand column of the user you want to assign as an Administrator. You'll be prompted for the Admin username/password and then you'll be taken to the Modify User Profile screen. On the bottom right hand side of that page will be a dropdown box. Administrator will be one of the options in that dropdown box, just choose it and then submit the changes.

There are no icons showing up on the right hand side in the members area...

I was able to set myself as an administrator, but did it an entire different way then you explained...

I might be doing something wrong,I logged in and went to the members area, but theres no icons on that page beside the AIM and ICQ ones...

It looks like you deleted the Admin account.

Try reuploading the database and overwrite the one you currently have.

You'll lose any settings/members/topics that you have but you'll be able to login as Admin again.

It's not a good idea to delete the Admin account.

So if I want to use a different name for an admin. I would just create a new name and set that name as an administrator?


BTW, thanks for all the info you have given me!
