OK i have a new host that supports .asp extensions and i have uploaded all the files but i keep getting an error message.
It says:
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

What do i have to do to fix this?

Who is your new webhost?

Try going directly to default.asp and see what error you get.

This is exactually what the first part looks like

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

'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=http://www10.7host.com/phaze/cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("http://www10.7host.com/phaze/cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=http://www10.7host.com/phaze/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 don't if what i have done is right.
Thanks for the help.

you can't use an URL for the path to your database.

Try this:


This is exactually what the first part looks like

'strDBType = "sqlserver"
strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"
 
'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=http://www10.7host.com/phaze/cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/phaze/cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=http://www10.7host.com/phaze/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_"


if the above doesn't work try this:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path


You can also try going here: http://forum.snitz.com/archive/default.asp?catid=11&cattitle=Forum+Setup+Tools

and downloading the Where Am I? (.ASP) file and use it to find the physical path to your database.
