I have installed Window Web Server 2008 R2 and enabled IIS and ASP.
I created a Web Site in IIS and tested it with a simple HTML file. I then uploaded the Snitz Forum files to that Web site.
However, I cannot seem to run 'setup.asp' successfully.
I read in the installation instructions that it is not necessary to install Microsoft Access, but I now suspect that this might not the case.
I did check the IIS knowledgebase and have enabled various backwards-compatible options, including Metabase Compatibility, but this did not seem to help.
Can anyone help?
Thanks, |

Also, why don't you consider installing MySQL and use it instead of Access?
Or use SQL Server Express Edition? |

I just figured out how to turn on the 'Send Error to Browser' parameter so I can actually see what the error is, and after a long time running, the page returns
"Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113' "
I'm now looking into what that message means.
To answer the other questions,
'Yes, it is a 64-bit installation';
'Yes, I have considered using SQL Express or MySQL, but I wanted to troubleshoot this first'; and finally,
'Yes, I wholeheartedly agree that people who try to make things simpler often end up making them more complicated. -- I've even been responsible for this!'
Thanks for the replies.

OK, so now I know that ASP 0113 means that the page timed out. I guess there must be a way to trace the ASP code to see where this is happening... I'll keep looking unless someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks again.

You will need to open the IIS Manager in Administrative Tools, expand your web server and click application pools. On the right pane, right click the app pool in use for that site, choose advanced settings and then set Enable 32-bit applications to True.
That should fix it. Anyway, it's way easier to just use another database management system. If your site won't be that big, SQL Server would be the recommended option (SQL Server will manage big databases, but the Express edition is size limited, thus my remark about size). |
