I am following the readme file and have changed the following:

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

'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=d:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\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=d:\Inetpub\wwwroot\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_"

I am using the database that comes with the download, but when I run setup.asp I receive this error

The database could not be opened !!
Check your config.asp file and set the
strConnString so it points to the database.
Also check if strDBType is set to the right databasetype.



Code : -2147467259

and if I run default.asp I receive this error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

/forum/inc_top.asp, line 42


Not sure what I am doing wrong? Any pointers would be appreciated.

the path to the database is not correct.
Try using Virtual path.
