When you first login and goto the File Manager you should have a db directory.
That is where you will upload the snitz_forums_2000.mdb database file to.
Make a directory named forum. Now you should see both the db directory and the forum directory.
The forum directory is where you will upload all of the files except for the snitz_forums_2000.mdb database file.
Just upload the files and then edit your config.asp file to point to your Database and choose the database type.
It should look like this for Brinkster:
'#################################################################################
'## SELECT YOUR DATABASE TYPE AND CONNECTION TYPE (access, sqlserver or mysql)
'#################################################################################
'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("/YOURUSERNAME/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\database\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=PASSWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MySQL
just change YOURUSERNAME to your Brinkster username. |

That error is something Brinkster will need to fix.
Did you put your database in the db directory? If not, that is the only directory where a database will work. If you do have it in the db directory, you'll need to contact Brinkster and get them to fix the permissions on your db directory. |

1-sorry for my english
i do that.
and when i upload the file admin_count.asp the page chek and send this msg.
Brinkster File Uploader Beginning File Upload Process... Uploading File 1...admin_count.asp --> Scanning File 1...Error : Server.ScriptTimeout set too high.
The Server.ScriptTimeout in one or more of your files was found to be set above 90 seconds. Adjust the ScriptTimeout of the offending file and reupload it. Here is the proper way to set this Server property: Server.ScriptTimeout = 60
then i fix, but forum don't work.
PD: Sorry for my english again :)

i had the same problem on the count file; simply open that file in "wordpad" and change the timeout from =6000 to "=60" then save and upload it again

I'm almost there... I can feel it. 
But when I try to log in for the first time, 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
I did set the config to
'#################################################################################'## SELECT YOUR DATABASE TYPE AND CONNECTION TYPE (access, sqlserver or mysql)'#################################################################################'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 97strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/YOURUSERNAME/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\database\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=PASSWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MySQL
replacing YOURUSERNAME with my user name.
Oh boy, I can't figure it out. Thanks.

Thanks a lot, man. I just e-mailed. Your site looks great! (Rich, I guess you're sick of talking Brinkster!  )
